If you've read my previous journal entry, you know what's going on.

So!

Exams are finally over, which means I can draw. A lot. And I have been drawing a lot. I've been drawing stuff around me, and practiced drawing cats. Furthermore, I've started my artist study, beginning with Kim Byung Jin, the artist drawing a manhwa called "Jackals". I have chosen to study this style because of several things. First of all, it's a seinen, so - compared to the shounen I usually read - the style is rougher and more masculine. Second, it's very realistically drawn, and has a lot of details. Plus, it's gory and has a lot of awesome weapons and dynamic action sequences. I'm catching on quick, and I'm already feeling the benefits... and I discovered that Nichol is wearing two belts, and I can't quite figure out why... is the lower belt meant to fasten the Alligator to his back? Or? No wait, his coat is covering up the belt... hmm... okay... I guess he's just a weirdo.

As for the requests - easy, people! I haven't forgotten you. I'll start finishing up the sketches by tomorrow. Thanks for your patience!


List of artists I'll study this summer:


-

- Jenny Saville

- Katsura Hoshino

-

- Kim Byung Jin [CURRENT]

- Kondou Kazuma

- Mononoke (not exactly an artist - it's an anime, and no, it's not "the one with the wolves". It's by Toei Animation, and the style which is used is quite unique and handsome.. and kinda trippy)

- Yukimura Makoto


and are simply awesome fanclubs.
