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! As “somewhat” promised, I wanted to talk more about that new drawing technique I “invented” for myself. The reason I want to discuss that is that it is too good not to share it with you. Blueprint Ok, so whenever I start a new drawing, I always do a blueprint of what my mind has in it. You know, laying out the...

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! This one will be all about the new Wacom MovinkPad 14 Pro that I got for myself. I wanted to write a brief review of the tablet as it has been an extremely good option for me so far. And I want to write about this now as I’ve now been using it for a few weeks already and have seen it to be what I wanted it to be....

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! This time it’s about the internal struggles- that internal voice that is quietly (yet loudly) saying different things that are unhealthy. Pressure to excel and be something more I was having nostalgic thoughts and memories from years back when I was drawing pretty freely. I was just drawing for myself basically....

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! First of all, sorry for the slight delay in this newsletter. I think I missed a few hours from my usual schedule. Now, hope you don’t mind that. But let’s go through the very latest developments in art, mind, views, and visions. Just today Just this morning, like a few minutes ago or so, I purchased Jujutsu Kaisen...

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! So with the artistic voice idea, another idea came to my mind recently…what if, and like honestly what if I sold my artwork? Route of Prints In past years, when I was developing my art business in multiple directions, I stumbled upon POD (print-on-demand) and discovered that customers could buy my art prints from,...

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! This is something I’ve been exploring the past week or so. So it’s quite a “new” thing after a year-or-so hiatus. Artistic Voice Now, I think at some point in my artistic “career” (there’s none basically), I’ve been thinking about my artistic voice. You know, the themes and topics you draw and the way you draw...

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! There’s an art piece I drew a while back…I dunno, a few weeks back. Haven’t posted it anywhere yet. But that piece made me think about anime art. I’ve been drawing anime art for years already, but that particular piece made me think: “is this actually anime art.“ And the short answer is yes. It is anime art, but…...

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! Currently, I’ve been drawing with my “trusty” old Surface Book 3 laptop and the touchscreen it has. I’ve been using the pen that fits the tablet (don’t remember if it had some name; also don’t care), and while it is good(ish), it’s also, at the same time, a pen that glides. And that is where the troubles start....

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! You might or might not have heard about the art book project I’m currently investing some of my time in (the other part is going on Hades II and beating the bosses left and right). Now, as I suck at writing things and you know that world-building thing. I decided to take advantage of AI tools and created something...
