  • First time with Uni Posca

    I’ve been seeing my friends using Uni Posca and I’m intrigued. Then, I just realized they are not available here in Malaysia, at least not in retail-wise. I had to order it online from a trading company specializing in stationeries.

    I love using them, and I think it would be the same feelings when painting using gouache, yeah? My only gripe, though, is this.

    I’m not sure if that’s expected or that piling caused by the marker and the paper. I’m using Moleskine sketchbook (yeah, yeah, I know…) so I’m thinking of doing another test on a more decent drawing/painting paper.

    I love how “immovable” it is. You can literally put a different color on top of each layer and it won’t budge.

    I combined the marker with my Uni Sketch Art Marker, and I love how they complement each others.

  • Drawing practice: A couple of works

    I finally got myself a Copic set, and I opened them just a couple of days ago.

    I learned to acquaint myself with Copic’s behavior and style. Copic colors are generally more muted and softer, while my Unicorn Art Marker has a more vivid color which gives a really nice variations.

    This pond drawing is one of the firsts. I started the drawing annoyed because Copic LOOKED too dry for me. I spent coloring the water with a stream of curses left and right, but as I added more details and the sky blue color from Unicorn, it looked pretty great.

    The second one is the usual house drawing.

    The colors were flat and weird. At first, I decided to ditch the drawing. But then I revisited it again on the next day and used bold lineart as I’m feeling more comfortable with it. I’m pretty happy with how it looks like now.

    As for the latest, it’s actually a drawing of my friend: Anien.

    I really like her pose there, so I decided to illustrate it.

    I am now thinking of buying a Copic set. Unicorn Sketch marker set is great, but the colors are too vivid and too neon to my likings. I’m looking for muted gray-ish colors, and from what I see, it seems like Copic provides such colors.

  • A month too late, but I just stumbled upon IKEA France’s Tiktok video, hinting a possible collab with Animal Crossing. Unfortunately, no further information about this other than IGN picked up this news when the video was posted.
