Hello everybody! Having a good weekend? : )

I’m finally finished my art book picture for Melon Berry Tea: Summer Showers, so here’s the final preview of it! I had some trouble with it, but overall I really like how it turned out. <333 This was my sketch and this was my line art/base colours.

I have reached the top tier for donations, so I’ll be making a tutorial/walkthrough for the book, as well as a personal page and bookmark! Yaaay!! :D

I still have quite a ways to go until I finish saving up for my post-secondary education, but thank you to all that have donated and offered support so far! I had no idea that I’d get so much support through this, it’s overwhelming in the best way possible. THANK YOU! *hugs* ♥ ♥ ♥

I may have reached the top goal for the project, but like I said before, I still have a ways to go until I reach my own goal of paying for my post-secondary education. I’m actually hoping to save up for it completely before attending, so that I don’t have to pay student loans. I’m not the only one that needs donations, either – other artists participating could use the help too!

The deadline for donating has been moved from end of October to sometime in January, but a lot of artists could still use a boost! Any donation, be it $2, $10 or $50 can really make a difference. Can’t donate? Advertising the artbook is a great help too!

For more information, please read my post about the book here!

Thanks again everybody, and have an awesome weekend!!

Well. I had been toying with the idea of posting my art book preview today, but I don’t feel like this is the weekend for that. >_> Sooo… here, have more Cardcaptor Sakura fan art! 8D I don’t think I’ve ever drawn this many fanarts for something in such a short time period, yikes

After drawing my last CCS fanart, I wanted to draw a picture with more emphasis on her green eyes. I had planned to draw a strawberry themed picture for that, but I ended up doing something with clovers instead.
I also wanted to draw something SUPER shoujo styled just for kicks. I think I succeeded but I’m not sure how much of it looks like my art? LOL I also used Manga Studio’s pencil a lot more, and instead of line arting the eyes, I just blocked them in with colour to get a softer look.

It would’ve been nice to spend more time on it, but I couldn’t and now it’s time to get back to work.

Now I have L’arc~en~Ciel’s “Good Luck My Way” stuck in my head hehe

Thanks for looking guys! :heart: Have a good week!

I’m participating in the Melon Berry Tea 2015 Artbook!

Melon Berry Tea is an artbook dedicated to artists, so that fans can donate and artists can earn money to put towards whatever it is they need (I’m putting any donations I receive towards post-secondary education). The donation period is open until October 31st 2014 has been extended.

I may have reached the top tier (Now I’ll be making a walkthrough for the artbook!), but I still have a ways to go until I cover my education costs! I’m planning to cover my costs before I attend, so that there’s no student loans; so any donation – whether it’s $1, $10 or $50 – really counts!

I finally got the chance to watch Cardcaptor Sakura. I remember watching Cardcaptors on Teletoon so many years ago, but much like Sailor Moon I don’t remember anything that happened or why I liked it. So it was quite the pleasure watching the subbed version on Crunchyroll with my sister <333

It’s safe to say that CCS is now one of my all-time favourite animes and I’ve become a little obsessed over it (especially Sakura and Syaoran, I’ve doodled fanart of them so hopefully you guys will see some in the future ;D if not here, then on my website). I had no idea that I would like it so much, but now I just love iiiittt <333

One night I got the second opening song stuck in my head so I was just “OKAY I CAN’T TAKE IT, I’M DOING A SKETCH.” …then once I finished the anime, I couldn’t help finishing my sketch and this came about!

This isn’t my favourite outfit of Sakura’s, but because the song was stuck in my head I chose to draw it. c: I added Kero-chan because… well, Kero-chan is Kero-chan. The moon is glowing purple for a reason (those who’ve watched will probably understand) and I made the Clow Cards from scratch. The majority of this was drawn in Manga Studio, then a few special effects – mainly the cards – were drawn in Photoshop.

Thanks for looking, and have a great weekend! (And HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you Canadians! ;D)

Edit Here’s the making of “Strength of the Stars” as an animated gif! :D Enjoy~

I felt inspired and motivated to draw an interior background after talking to sae-midori on deviantart. She suggested that instead of using perspective lines and such, focus on creating depth with colour/shading. So I tried it, and came up with this. /// Thank you so much sae-midori!! : D

I drew this a while back so I don’t remember what I wanted to say about this… e_e
It was drawn in Manga Studio. The only line art was on the character and objects on the shelf; the rest was painted/lineless. And for the subject, I was simply aiming for a sort of cute, mori girl feeling I guess. It was really hard to come up with a title, if somebody has a suggestion let me know. XD;;

Edit:// I just remembered that I had some issues with the pose, and ended up using stock by SenshiStock on dA to fix it.

Thanks for looking and have a great week everybody!!
