Newsletter Konnichiwa, Welcome to my (Okuha) newsletter! The newsletter is always more or less about anime and manga art, artist life, and anime, of course. I hope you stick around! For the longest time, I’ve thought that only dynamic art makes things look interesting. Only dynamic poses for characters make them more alive and interesting. However, a few days ago, I realized that maybe it just isn’t so. Maybe dynamic art isn’t the only way for characters to look interesting and beautiful....

Newsletter Konnichiwa, Welcome to my (Okuha) newsletter! The newsletter is always more or less about anime and manga art, artist life, and anime, of course. I hope you stick around! Not too long ago, I finally got the chance to watch Chainsaw Man - Reze movie as it landed on Crunchyroll (love that service - and only a few bucks a month).

Newsletter Konnichiwa, Welcome to my (Okuha) newsletter! The newsletter is always more or less about anime and manga art, artist life, and anime, of course. I hope you stick around!

But I might send a few now that I’m starting to get my groove on. Direction It might also be that there are just so many things to say. I’m full of...

Newsletter Konnichiwa, Welcome to my (Okuha) newsletter! The newsletter is always more or less about anime and manga art, artist life, and anime, of course. I hope you stick around! What happened this week or so... A member of mine posted this week about the concept of 10,000 hours. While the concept isn’t new or anything, it was a good reminder of how things work in life. This week I’ve been playing Metaphor: ReFantazio quite a lot, and as I was saving the game, I noticed that I’ve already...

Newsletter Konnichiwa, Welcome to my (Okuha) newsletter! The newsletter is always more or less about anime and manga art, artist life, and anime, of course. I hope you stick around! What happened this week or so... Konnichiwa! I think it was like yesterday when I watched Gary V’s interview, and in it he said (not a direct quote) roughly something like subscribers, followers, etc., numbers don’t matter anymore. It’s all about interest. I personally think the numbers (followers, subs, etc.)...
