DWI – Drawing while indecisive

Started out as a standard non-life drawing, then shifted into manga practice. I decided to give the model a more anime looking face, and changed the extended hand…

Loomis out the details

This is a non-life drawing based on a shot of a cosplayer, but I don’t know the anime reference; sorry. I’ve been re-reading “Creative Illustration” by Andrew Loomis,…

Gege-get on that!

Back to drawing Kitaro, one of my favorite all time Japanese characters. I’ve loved every version of the anime, and what few comics I’ve been able to get…

Beyond the Boundary of Japan

I watch a decent amount of anime, but finding the time is the hardest part. One series I enjoyed lately (but late to the game on) was Beyond…

Ano Hana Bobana, Fanana Mana…

Or something like that. Loved this anime, but it had me bawling like a baby at the end. Available for a caring home, at Baltimore Con!

Keeping the thread of a conversation…

One more Gegege no Kitaro…

Here’s some color added to an image from last week.

Hustle Punch vs Yokai!

I came across Gegege no Kitaro from a roundabout way. I had rented a film called Yokai Wars, and basically it’s Gegege but with no Kitaro. It’s all…

More Gegege no Kitaro!

Here are a few more sketches based on Gegege no Kitaro. Something I failed to mention is that Kitaro has a “cow-lick” of hair that tingles when evil…

Ge-ge-gegege-no-Kitaro!

My new Japanese obsession (this week) is Gegege no Kitaro. This is an anime based on a classic manga created by Shigeru Mizuki, and the cartoon has gone…
