Fan Art Friday: Saint DragonGirl by Natsumi Matsumoto and Vows by Tamaria Sona

Happy Fan Art Friday everyone! Today I'll be posting two drawings one of them is based on a manga and the other is a short e-book. Also both of them are in watercolour paints.

The first fan art is of Momoka Sendou from St DragonGirl by Natsumi Matsumoto. This manga was recommended by a website called Goodreads. I was intrigued by the front cover as well as the blurb behind the first volume. So I found the volume on at the library consortium and read it and surprisingly it was really good. 

I quite like Momoka a lot and I thought that it was really awesome that there were moments where she would fight back. At some moment in this volume she ends up posesssing a dragon spirit. With the help of her best friend Ryuga, they both end up fighting evil spirits. I was very intrigued and surprised of how this first volume ended so I'll be reading the rest to find out what happens next.

I thought that it would be great to draw Momoka in in the traditional Chinese clothes that she is usually seen in the volume. Also I decided to use violet and white too. Since this is a Shoujo Luanda I thought I'd draw flowers in the background.

At some point I will draw Ryuga. Here's the drawing:

The second and final fan art for today is of Addison and Peyton from the novel Vows by Tamaria Sona. Two weeks ago I was bound to my bed and decided to read some ebooks to pass the time. This was one of them that I read and read enjoyed. Also it is one of the ebooks that I keep going back to and keep reading. 

The novel is about Addison who goes through a dramatic period when she looses her best friend Peyton as a result of a car crash. Addison and Peyton's husband Colin go through a mourning period. Addison is the main narrator of the novel and she decides to go through a stage of healing that not only benefit herself but her family too. This book was very heavy on drama but on how a relationship can be solved with a hear to heart conversations. Also Addison had moments where she would feel Peyton's presence advising and helping her to keep going. I thought they was really lovely so I wanted to convey them in a drawing. There were two versions of this drawing but since the first drawing was used on thin paper I felt that it was necessary to redraw these characters again. Addison's dress is in monochromatic blue since I love the colour blue and Peyton is in a form where we as the audience can see her but Addison can only feel her presence and hear her but cannot see her.:

There will be more fan art next week. Thank you for visiting and please write a comment.

Fan Art Friday: Megumi and Suzuka From Captive Hearts, Io Ayase from Real Storm, Mey-Rin from Black Butler and Edith Cotterill from Nurse on Call. (^_~)

Happy Friday Everyone! Here is another four fan arts that I'll be showing you today. Three of them are from manga which are volumes. The fourth fan art is from a memoir that I am currently reading. All of these works were created with a 2B Pencil and Watercolour Paints.

Before I begin, I have to admit something, I've been trying to avoid reading Shoujo comics for the past two years. These types of comics were the reason why I got in to manga in the first place. The reason why I chose to stop was that I felt that I was growing old and I tried to find some Josei manga to even out the odds. Ultimately I gave in and decided to continue reading them. I realized how amazing funny this type of genre is and I have now chosen to continue reading this genre from now on.


The first fan art is from the manga Captive Hearts by Matsuri Hino. I think most of you would know that she is the creator of the manga Vampire Knight. Over the years, I have seen people dress up as some of the characters from this manga. Although I was was aware that she created the series I chose to read Captive Hearts, just to get a feel of the stories that she creates. This week, I read the first volume and I found it really difficult to put down. I read the volume about 30 times. Here are the two protagonists of the story Megumi and Suzuka. I was quite surprised that Megumi is a guy. I assumed that this name was suitable for a girl. (^_^;)

In addition to this story, there is also two short stories, I thought I'd do a fan art about one of them. This is Io Ayase who is the main protagonist of the short story called 'Real Storm' This was another short manga that I could not stop reading. I admired how Io changed from being a shy and quiet girl to a strong and confident girl:

The next fan art is of Mey-Rin from the manga Black Butler by Yana Toboso. She became my second favourite character after reading volume 8. When I finished this particular volume, I realized that a few questions that I had regarding the servants were answered. I was aware of this series back in 2010 I think when the anime was released, but I chose to wait and read the manga. I'm glad I did. I think I made Mey-Rin amazingly sweet here. I think next time I'll draw a better version of her:

The final Fan art for today, is of Edith Cotterill from the memoir, 'Nurse on Call'. I chose to read this book as part of my research of a comic entry that I'll be starting next month. (I'll be showing the process of the comic entry, throughout the month of September so stay tuned.) I began reading this memoir this week and I loving it so far. I decided to do a recollection of what I've read so far. There might be a possibility that I'll do more fan art of this novel, as I am currently reading it:

There will be more fan art next week. Thank you for visiting my blog and please leave a comment. (^_~)
