I'm not sure I like how I colored this one. The skin needs more work but it means I need more practice with darker skin tones. I've gotten too used to light skin tones or just a black and white. I feel this needs to be richer. I've also tried yellowed skin tones but that has turned into a mess. Considering that I have a yellower-brown skin myself, I should understand it better but hmm it's not processing enough to my personal liking. I still think she turned out cute though.⠀

How do you color in skin?⠀

I am now on Chapter 6 of LtoG on Tapas come this Monday. I'm pretty stoked because this means there are 4 chapters left in the novel and I get to move on to a new story. That said though, I'm thinking of launching Lullabies around October most likely when I hit chapter 8 of LtoG.⠀
.⠀
Hope you guys are also enjoying all my Georgiana art.⠀

[art id: Georgie and Seb casually napping at the Maison. The only vulnerable times she's in is when she's asleep or crying or afraid of bugs. There are only a few people she trusts showing that to and Sebastian is one of them.]⠀

I've had this video haul from when I went to Sekai

I've had this video haul from when I went to Sekaido last year and I'm only now sharing lol I wish I could've bought more but most of my luggage was already filled by then by food, a Gundam model and a Going Merry ship model. 😅 I've yet to assemble the models too. I also didn't expect to buy @maruti_bitamin 's artbook Grow. It was a happy coincidence to have found it.⠀
.⠀
I've only used the watercolor brushes a few times but I like the feel of them. The pigments are quite saturated and the brush tip are smooth, easy to use if you're used to them. Seeing as they're my first ever watercolor brushes, it'll take some time to get used to.⠀

Sekaido is a stationery and art supply store that is a must visit for any artist. It's kinda like the National Bookstore of the Philippines and kind of like Art Supply Warehouse of California. Can't say it's like Michael's but it's somewhat similar.

Reaching chapter 6 of LtoG, (a bit past midway of

Reaching chapter 6 of LtoG, (a bit past midway of the novel) so I thought I would share some bits about what I am working on. Lullabies will be a collection of short comics about dreams but also about anxiety and loneliness.⠀
.⠀
Aside from the beginning of the comic, there's no true chronological order to the stories as they are dreams. And no need to read LtoG to understand them. I'll be sharing the shorter ones here but will be debuting them on my Tapas.⠀
.⠀
.⠀
I'll have more details when it gets closer to 'publishing' them. Please give it some love when it comes out.⠀

Kind of been off in my own world cause of insomnia. Lol so here is a pic of me from when I went to Japan last year. Been working on storyboarding my comic also.

I miss the normal days. What about you?

Also, instead of current progress stuff, here is a series I have yet to continue 😅😅😅

3 all at once. Each have their own significant importance to Georgie and why she ended up at the Maison at the start of the story. If Abby asked Georgie for her stories, F. Peter is the person who simply let's Georgie spill her guts about Kent and Robby (amongst other people who shaped her 'now' within LtoG).
