| Most watercolor images have been completed within the last year; spring 2005 to the present. So far, watercolor has become my favorite medium of choice next to colored pencils. The flow lines that watercolor creates on paper are impossible to create with other mediums. It also renders wonderful backgrounds with little strain. In a future outlook, it appears that I will continue coloring my illustrations with this material. Unless of course I find something better, but that is unlikely. (^.^) |
| Nearly all of my older illustrations were engendered through the use of colored pencils, with Prang being the specific brand. I find them to be a nice and clean way of coloring an illustration; no water, chalk residue, or annoying odor. Usually, I use my secret technique when coloring images with them, which leaves a smoother than average look to the image. Particularly for an image that is done in colored pencils, a usually textured medium. As always, the colors are rich and bold; however, colored pencils make it difficult to differentiate the subject from the background, at least for me. (O_o) Thus, I have made a switch over to watercolor recently. |
| I have never actually undertook a full out manga project, but I have attempted at creating manga style pictures. All of my manga illustrations have texts on them, but the texts are not actually written in proper Japanese. Instead, they are written using a code that relates the katakana symbols to a specific correlating letter in the Roman alphabet. (@__@) However, character names are written correctly in hiragana. So no decoding is necessary there. All manga images are done in colored pencil, so I am yet to create one in watercolor. |

| Inked arts are merely sketches that have been outlined in a black pen, and are not actually colored. More than likely, a colored version of an inked image exists in one of the other galleries such as watercolor or colored pencils so go forth and search for the colored counterparts if you wish! I personally am not a fan of inked outline drawings, but sometimes they can provide interesting insight into the former-self of the colored pictures. If you wish to, you may also download and color some of the inked art! That’s why the watermark is very small and insignificant! (o^__^o) Just think of them as pages from a coloring book!!! |

| Ummm … This is a rather empty gallery, to say the least! (^.^)’’’ I apologize for that!!! Grazie! I just never am able to complete fanarts! I may start upon a few, but I always lose inspiration and move on to drawing something with my own characters. No matter how much I like a series, it is nearly impossible for me to draw art for it! Plus, I always get frustrated (my drawings of other artists' characters never look decent to me, they don’t have the same feel), and I rarely like the end result when I actually finish a fanart! As a result, this is the most empty gallery ever! (U_U) |

| Sketchies are sketches, of course! (^_~) There’s really nothing special about this gallery since it is comprised of rough and random drawings from my sketch book, or anything else I drew on. It is completely random and informal. Viewer beware!: this gallery is of low quality, and may contain countless amounts of mistakes in the drawings themselves! XD I definitely don’t stream for accuracy when I draw random things on the backs of school papers! lol |
