photo of a wood slice with more attempts to do a gradient of a siamese with acrylic which feels super hard and impossible to get the right color and there's a color comp behind it that i did on watercolor paper to try and get the color mixes right before putting the paint on the real thing.

dandadan episode 10 cont. - AWWWWW LITTLE MUSHROOM ALIEN MAN SO PRECIOUS HE JUST WANNA HELP HIS SICK SON 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
What is that waistband thing on grandma that she keeps putting her hands in like one of those back braces?

photo of my wood slice all sanded and a study on watercolor paper with acrylic paint trying to figure out the color mixes because i was wasting too much time on the real piece fussing with colors which made the paint cake up.

Dandadan episode 10 cont. - idk what caused aira to be ok with spreading rumors and then owning up to it - like obv she doesn’t love momo but maybe respect???? It’s like she has morals but also still believes she’s the hero?? Trauma bonding?????

sketch of oshawott from pokemon with a yellow leaf on its head. i started the spring allergies where the pollen screws up my contacts so i usually power through with one contact in and squint thru the day.

i wrote down live thoughts which are much more hazardous but we roll

dandadan episode 10 - aira is such a drama girl XD
Little nerd so cuteeeee wanting to work out 🥺
Did time really just go one and they literally disappeared and then poofed back???

sketch drawing of a torchic from pokemon holding an alcoholic bottle cause we all need some in this alternate reality of *US chaos*

torchic vibe

the brainrot wants to speed thru the episodes (which i did) - i only haven't watched ep 20 yet but also i get the feeling that "as the plot progresses" / as you eat the manga, you'll yearn for the early eps when "it was just the two of them"

photo of a work in progress of painting a wood slice. the paint was starting to cake up on itself cause I kept trying to make corrections so I took a little piece of sandpaper and sanded it down so i could make the corrections again without dealing with paint caking up. i would also like rather recommend like dandadan over like other animes that linger and cake up those shots like .... higurashi remake, mieruko, summer pockets. like recommend to a non-anime watcher cause sometimes those shots do be jarring just cause of how they laid it out.

dandadan episode 9 cont. - THE MOMENT IS HILARIOUS oh my gosh dude no comment

i do love how they handle that stuff tho and the scenes are not overly dressed up. it just be and you roll

alt text has extra tidbits when i can't fit it here. i trying to come off brainrot

photo of a different wood slice with a digital illustration of the siamese and blossoms and cupcake rearranged because i messed up the first one so I thought maybe i need to just start all over. except i have very limited wood slices

dandadan episode 9 cont. - are the contained alien scapes just a free for all like why walls become water
i assume she pulled all the water down in that one scene how do you pull giant swaths of water down

This was a rework cause i thought i needed to start over

photo of wood slice and painting of siamese cat and blossoms and cupcake still being worked on

dandadan episode 9 cont. - They do so good with balancing out the funny faces during the serious moments uvu
The squabble was so good with the extra water movements and splashing with the water spraying back real animation moments

dandadan episode 9 cont. - I feel for poor mushroom alien man he just trying to earn a living 🥺
How can they stomach all those punches as humans

real magic hours

continued painting of wood slice of siamese with cupcake and blossoms.

dandadan episode 9 - so much good animation and so much happens that you have hardly any time to appreciate business man mantis shrimp

i have to like watch this without the subs just so i can appreciate the animation

Work in process painting of our siamese cat on wood slice.

dandadan episode 8 & 9 - so the aliens can make their own turf and anything that happens in stays there so what happens in outside world, do they just disappear from their classroom or does time stop??? how did the walls become jello

photo of my wood slice painting fleshing out the gradients on the blossoms and trying to figure out how to gradient a siamese which is failing

dandadan episode 8 (1/2) - oh my gosh the girlfight is hilarious although i still think the pink hair one is delusional and 8th grader not too far off. her VA elevates that so much more 😂

little nerd so cute for training behind the scenes altho he could've just said so

#art #1462DaysofArt

process painting of painting on a real wood slice. I blocked out all the flowers and cat and all but the painting is still messy

dandadan episode 7 (2/2) - the story was so tragic but the dance animation was so gorgeous

not sure if pink hair girl was just vain (i'm doing this cause i'm the heroine) or if she genuinely did what she did

#art #1462DaysofArt

digital sketch layout of a wood slice painting - to prepare what i want to paint on it even though it came out a dud

so i just learned the studio doing dandadan is the same that did eizouken so now everything makes sense

dandadan episode 7 (1/2) - that transformation sequence was soooo smooth but he reminds me of a pokemon and a running ostrich xd

sketch drawings of our lilac point siamese

nooooooooo my laptop decided to restart overnight so i lost my thoughts T-T i try to rewrite and remember via rewatching
evil windows trying to make me upgrade to 11

dandadan episode 6 - oh my gosh she's such a self insert heroine
humans built different in this world

digital sketches of my gray cat and lilac point siamese being cute

kitty babies
i so weak i ate up 7 episodes today TvT
i jotted down live posts as i watched but now i gotta glaze these up. i assumed "season 2" meant "all the characters are established and they be rolling but uh yeah no. XD commentary soon tm

digital sketches of cats and thumbnails of planning a panting on a wood slice

finally switching it up 😂
if i had known that i could play a switch 2 compatible game on switch 1, then i would've preordered Pokemon Z-A in that first wave with the plushie 😭 i assumed if it was a red cartridge, then it would only play on 2 even if it had a 1 version

almost drawing finished of axolotl and sakura and lunar eclipse

dandadan episode 5 - i weak and watched XD
it be worth to get superpowers for that tradeoff. i rewatched ep 16 & the name actually meant something so i knew the cat was gonna get there soon

so far i'm still predicting everyone else be aliens. i feel for the nerd

138/1462
#art #1462DaysofArt

almost final drawing of the axolotl with sakura and lunar eclipse

dandadan episode 4 - crazy mad animation and classical music in the background yesssss

this watch pace isn't sustainable though so i tried reading up to the anime and i gotta restrain from diving into episode 5 😂

#art #1462DaysofArt

work in progress drawing of axolotl with cherry blossoms and lunar eclipse

dandadan episode 3 - it nice that there seems to be at least an episode for a breather and lore logic

the thing that's charming to me about asian lore is there's mythology and deep rooted stuff and then america be like....meh

#art #1462DaysofArt

another wip of the axolotl and blood moon and sakura

dandadan episode 2- wait that's the end of the episode????!!?? =v=

the selective coloring animation and logic be amazing

this thing keeps looking the same cause i keep noodling the details cause i still don't know how to color in CSP

Work in progress drawing of axolotl and sakura and lunar eclipse; the moon has been fleshed out

dan da dan episode 1 - I only subconsciously verbally screamed when he did the name drop XD

animation reminds me of studio trigger + keep your hands off eizouken. it do be nice to watch anything you want

#art #1462DaysofArt

first color pass of axolotl with blood moon. the color palette is soft muted pinks and a deeper muted strawberry blood moon

dan da dan predictions - based on the random episode 16 i watched, everyone is an alien, they go to school but not really, there's no big bad guy but just randos, and its slice of life action. everyone knows they're aliens. and the cliche obvious girl loves boy

133/1462
#art #1462DaysofArt

work in progress drawing of an axolotl on top of the blood moon and sakura

i still doing these i finally got the motivation to label and date everything 😂 now to pass them through the honey glaze

my brain said that i can do dan da dan commentary as i watch thru it so i can catch up. all i know is animation good, it crazy, and it popular.

continued progress on the axolotl and sakura and blood moon sticker. The moon is being worked on while the axolotl and sakura are in a plainish pink color as placeholder

still doing these everyday, i was doing traditional for like a week+ and I thought I took pics every day but I think not so the brain needs to do the thing

i tried to chunk these into separate files so they don't get big but i think i have uhh..271 layers on a file xd

digital sketch of a chikorita with a pikmin flower on its head instead of the leaf

lil chikorita pikmin =w=

i learned that i have the cheap 69 cent yellow paint instead of the $1.55 multi-surface paint so now my brain is like "you can't paint till you get the right yellow..." and do i want to travel to wally world for a yellow tube when i went today

final linework and flats done for the axolotl and sakura blossoms and blood moon

the flats finallyyyyy
i'm working on this wood slice and i'm like "i'm getting used to acrylics maybe i can go back to them" and then i drop the wood slice and smear the paint brush on it and it leaves a giant mark on an open wood area so it stained and i'm like wehh 😩

#art #1462DaysofArt

flats and linework done for the sakura blossoms and axolotl is still being worked on

i kinda wanna already redraw this. i hate how you spend so much time and be slow and steady and then it's OK but it's super stiff so RIP
pokemon liko poor girl being having to closet because the villains did the trump thing of "they're the bad guys" but she be freed 🥺

lining up the rest of the things
