Vicki Daltonさんのイラストまとめ

No. 3 is Beast Complex. Honourable mention to Beastars. I do want to see how Beastars ends, but it's lost so much momentum in the last few volumes that I'm more interested to see what Itagaki does with the characters in the same world, but out of the Beastars plot.

That's it for things that are entirely new to me. Next up: most anticipated series continuations.

No. 1 is obviously Kowloon, as that's my manga of the year for 2022.

No. 2 is Yokohama Shopping Trip - I want to spend more time sitting quietly with a coffee, drinking this in.

No. 4 is Drip Drip. I don't know how much I will enjoy this, but I really want to see Paru Itagaki's drawings of humans, and just where her imagination takes us!

No. 2 is Shadows House! I super enjoyed both seasons of the anime & got volumes 1 & 2 for Christmas, so looking forward to experiencing the story at a bit of a slower pace, with more depth. Art looks great too 👍

And 4 honourable mentions that were new to me this year: Robosapiens, High School Debut, My Brain Is Different, & Mars.

I think Butter turned out the most accurate https://t.co/u7hd1OMUcE

I find with blind drawings you can really get to the heart of sensitivity for the subject and line quality, but they're not accurate. So I'm playing with having control vs. loss of control to try and find somewhere in the middle where I can make a drawing that has some life to it

Been doing some fun/challenging animal warmups lately (these are Ugandan kobs). For these photo studies I did a 2 min blind drawing (so, not looking at the paper), then a 2 min drawing glancing at the paper every now and then, then a 5 min drawing where I could look at the paper.

Last one: When We Shout for Love. I really like the portrayal of our socially anxious main character in this one. It makes her shaky to say hello to her new friend in front of the class in the morning, & she feels safe wrapped up in her duvet where she's not being judged.

Next up, Getting Closer to You. This had a better translation. It's got some genuinely funny moments & I enjoy the dynamic of a jock guy practically throwing himself at the main character, but she's like 'eh? I just want to train your muscles' 😆
