A colorful painting of a marathon run turning a corner. The focus point is a lone runner pulling away from the crowd framed by the golden light pouring into a street behind him as the rest of the crowd follows in a mob. The runners are all washed in golden hour lighting while the street they are turning into is in purple shadow. Crowds and banners line the streets and a police on a motorbike drives in front of the marathon runners, blurred in the foreground.

Runners 🌟 A composition I did for @chuwenjie.bsky.social’s Color and Light class back in 2022. I wanted to use compositional elements I hadn’t tried before, like contrasting a single figure vs a group, and golden hour lighting.

saw the chair in question on our way out but I lack the chromatic aberration view :( this painting is so awesome

I love this sm…who else gets holidays cards from thierry?

A colorful painting of a desk area with two desks pushed together against a wall with two windows, a standing desk against the left corner wall, two chairs, a couch with an ottoman to the left, and a plant on the right. There are an assortment of laptops with drawing tablets, books, stuffed animals, and miscellaneous objects arranged on the desks and couch, and the wall in front of the desk is decorated with colorful prints stylized as blocks of color. A giant poster of Sasuke hangs over the desk. The painting is ambiently lit by the light from the windows, which is blown out white, and the colors of everything are chromatic and saturated.

The same desk space but with rainy weather light from outside infusing the painting with a shadowy grayish blue except for the desk area which is illuminated by a warm lamp light. The coldness of the rainy weather lighting makes the lamp light feel extra warm.

The same desk space but with a beam of golden hour light coming from a window outside the painting frame, creating a rectangular streak of very warm yellow light across the floor, chairs, desk, and wall. The whole painting is lit by golden hour outside and is warm throughout and dramatic with deep shadows.

The same desk space at night with greenish cold light coming from a computer screen. Otherwise, the painting is dark and blue with barely any light coming from moonlight outside. The green artificial light gives the painting a peaceful look.

My @chuwenjie.bsky.social class homework from Spring 2022. This class really solidified how I think about color and light, a life changing class for me personally !

Ahhh thank you so much for saying so!! ♥️

that’s all I got for Naruto from a few years ago, thanks for liking them! 😄

Thank you for saying so!! ♥️

Wow thanks so much for saying so…! ♥️🫶

Hehe thank you Vivian!!! ♥️

naruto might be the last thing I made this many full color environment compositions for of my own volition I’ve never done that since lol…

A colored travel poster illustration that says “Welcome to Konohagakure” in Japanese (木ノ葉隠れの里へようこそ) along the top right corner with a picture of a giant pink Sakura tree blooming over a rooftop scene of Konohagakure. Young Team 7 stands on a roof in the shadow of the tree. Kakashi is laying on the roof reading a book while the kids all look out into the distance where you can see the hokage office and the hokage faces on the mountain. The scene is warmly lit by spring sunlight, giving the scene a nostalgic and optimistic feeling.

A travel poster of Village Hidden in the Leaves from Naruto that I drew for a travel poster anthology back in 2021. I wanted to draw something that felt nostalgic of early Naruto with classic team 7 🌸🍥🔥📕

they couldn’t be any other way than they are but it’s nice to imagine if they had been able to reach out to each other as kids 😭

omg ty for saying so u are so kind to me haha ♥️😄

References and Research ✏️ For the sake of documentation, here is my process for this drawing. I hope it’s helpful and interesting to someone, thanks for looking! Be warned this write up is quite detailed, it’s a pretty long...

I also wrote up the process for this back then so I wouldn’t forget how I drew it lol lnmei.tumblr.com/post/6592586...

omg thank you again and again you are so kind!!

a colored illustration of a teacher’s office with teachers from both my hero academia and Naruto: Eraserhead, All Might, Present Mic, Lady Midnight, and Vlad King from MHA, and Kakashi, Iruka, Gai, Kurenai, and Azuma from Naruto. The teachers are sitting at their desks relaxing or working during a break where students are walking the halls outside. Kakashi is reading a book and you can see his Icha Icha books and graded papers in and around his desk. Iruka sits next to him with his laptop open to his wallpaper which is a photo of him and Naruto as a child. Gai is sitting back to back with Kakashi from the desk behind him. Eraserhead is laying on his desk looking tired while All Might sits next to him looking concerned and Present Mic is cheerfully talking to him. Lady Midnight and Vlad King are sipping coffee and Azuma and Kurenai are chatting in the back by the blackboard. Bakugo and Ochako are bringing books into the office, Bakugo very begrudgingly, while Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke walk by outside. Naruto waves to Iruka and Kakashi from the doorway.
