Day 0

This is a personal project which I started one week ago and in which I will try to learn drawing, and I fixed the goal in 3 weeks! Sometimes people wish they could draw like one artist or another, or just manage to draw something better than a stick figurine. So I will try to improve my poor drawing skill that you can see in those 3 weeks.

To accompany me on this quest for improvement, I will use these:

• Faber-Castell eraser, a very good eraser that doesn’t leave much dust nor pencil stroke
• Faber-Castell mechanical pencil, loaded with an HD 0,5mm. Particularity is the automatic mechanism for the nib; one push on the button is enough, the nib will move automatically.
• Sakura Pigma Micron set, for inking. It’s a set of marker, going from 0,05mm to 0,8mm.
• Wacom Intuos4 M. I decided to get this one. Aside of drawing, it does help me for a lot of task.
• Paint Tool SAI, drawing software used by most artists, for good reason ^^

And this is not enough to learn. Some people doesn’t want to get monochrome doujinshi, but I have finally found some use for them.Here is all the reference book. Mostly black and white doujin, or some color one featuring them. 2 of them are hentai for anatomy studying and there is a stack of Dengeki Hime, for more anatomy reference, and plenty of artstyle, pose. Also, some online tutorial were used during the first week.

Being already on the 9th day… I can say that I have quite improved so we will see this in later posts.

I can try and enumerate them from left to right. In the corner you can see a Tinkle dakimakura, shorter than my other one, but larger. I don’t have any pillow to fit in it yet. Then there is the Rei bag, a Tinkle brochure from JIF, Tinkle bag, AMR bag.

Next line, Unspoilt Pre-parade by AMR, Toragokoro  ( H doujin ) by Hisuitei, Tinkle Shitajiki.

Then Cloufout, the AMR calendar, QP:chick color 2, Colorful Pop 6, Pretty present Perfect, Way to color by AMR, Byakuya Chakai.

And finally, last line, a kind of bag by Rei, a telephone card, Midory Style Summer, a telephone card holder, a Adumi Tohru doujin, Maidism, second doujin by Tanihara Natsuki and its B&W companion, and a two-faced Shitajiki.

All in all I’m quite satisfied with the loot since most stuff is full color just as I expected. I wish the AMR doujin was full colored but there is the calendar to make up for it. I wouldn’t enjoy a doujin full of Toradora anyway, even though I like the serie. Tanihara Natsuki made her doujin a little bit thicker but it’s only for draft sadly.

It’s also the first I get something from Tohru Adumi, and it’s a nice doujin. I might tried to get another one, as long as it’s not a full boy featured one like some other I saw on the Internet. My only grip is girl with armor in this one which lacks in the moe department.

I will put some individual post for the amazing stuff. And when I said that it covered my bed, it’s literally since underneath everything is the Etsu bed cover !
