Relaxing after work by playing with my Kuretake Gansaï Tambi watercolours. I love them so much! I wish I had more time for it than just quick sketches.

Fixed the lineart and made a somewhat quick color test. Now onward to the real one! I fixed the lineart digitally ‘cause her face was really annoying me and I had no spoons to start over.

Received my best friend’s birthday gift yesterday! The gorgeous full set of kuretake gansai tambi watercolours. Even though it was super late and I was swamped after work, I had to try them out. I LOVE THEM! They’re so vibrant. Easy to lift and layer. They can be opaque too. I'be been wanting to go back to watercolor painting for a while now and this set is perfect for my need. Can’t wait to play with it more. Best birthday gift <3<br>

Nubia sketch I need to clean up.

The client wanted to wear a Nefertiti style crown. Crazy timing as I just saw the recent “reconstruction” of Nefertiti smh.
