Mitsuki - Art School Journey (+ Animations)

[mitsuki-youko]

Hi guys!

I'm Mitsuki (pen-name; I'm asian but not Japanese but my target audience would eventually be Japanese people).

I'm an aspiring manga/webtoon artist, animator, music maker, occasional coder, and I just love creating overall!

I'm currently plotting a long running 24 arc comic-to-be. (Still in the plotbuilding phase) but eventually I hope to make 6 trailers for it, one for each main character, and one general trailer before the release of my comic (I'm hopefully going to be making the music and animations for the trailers).

I just got Marc's Art School course since, while self-taught and can draw characters, I can't draw backgrounds very well and will need to do that to make anime and draw comics lol.

I post my art on IG: https://www.instagram.com/mitsuki_youko/ and occasionally on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2_j3oXTtc4KbePI4jvSdyA) so feel free to check it out.

Here is a website I coded for my story - it is WIP - still have lots of pics to draw for it (no mobile view tho): https://mitsukiyouko555.github.io/hackwebcomic/

Here is some of my art before I started the course:

(This is the only nice bg i've ever drawn lol I've so far not been able to replicate it. but hopefully along my journey i will be able to draw even better bgs)

Excited to embark on my journey!

I actually started a couple of days ago but this is what i have this week

(Today specifically i did the Old > young thing, the Alien > human thing, and all of the nude figure drawing assignments.)

I've already gotten down 1-5 so from now on for hw i'll only be doing 6 and 7 of the nude figure drawing assignment and work on perspective instead.

Pen Control Assignment:

Image Adjustments:

Applezzz:

Old > Young:

Alien > human (i kinda got lazy on this one lol u can probs tell but ive used liquify before so i was like eh i can be lazy on this one haha)

And here's a long one... my nude figure drawing assignment:

Welcome to Art School Mitsuki, your pen control is amazing, keep it up, cant wait to see more from you ^^

[mitsuki-youko]

[nemasis1337]

Welcome to Art School Mitsuki - Well done for smashing so many exercises today.

Your figure drawing is excellent. Keep practicing those proportions and they'll stick in your memory quicker than you think. Can't wait to see your art progress during school.

[mitsuki-youko]

Thank you @hojoflow i took a gesture drawing class in college a few years ago hehe

[mitsuki-youko]

Here's Todays Gesture drawings. Also did most of the Perspective drawing assignments save for the last one since i ran out of time lol. (I have work tmr so probs won't get to it unless i have more time)

Instead of drawing my room i decided to draw one of my main character (Maxus)'s room cuz hers is the one ive actually thought about when plotbuilding so i roughly know what i want it to look like. had a lot of fun with this and might make the rooms of my other mcs (maybe if i have time lol)

Close up of Maxus in her "Cy" outfit just cus

Still cant believe i drew an environment and so early in the course too happy sounds XD

Been dying to look at the personal projects cuz im so curious but marc said don't skip so ill save the spoilers for when i get to it XD

[nemasis1337]

good job, amazing room, but the computer in bed!? the future really is now old man XD

[hojoflow]

[mitsuki-youko]

Today's. Probs gonna move on to Term 2 since this is rather comfortable.

Animated a cylinder just cuz (excited to try out opentoonz for the first time - looks so much better than animating in krita!!)

[Lockenheim]

Lovely work! Welcome to the forums! I am excited to see more from you! You have a very interesting style!

[mitsuki-youko]

Thank you so much @Lockenheim

[mitsuki-youko]

Spent the last 2 days watching the vids for Term 2. Very interesting stuff!

Today i did a bit of Anatomy 1 assignment 1 (on paper cus i was out):

Then i worked on Photoshop Assignment A. I was kind of lazy with this cus I've done this stuff before lol and graphic design is not really something im super into.. am excited to start drawing heads tmr tho.

But here's what i've got:

Now with logo design i have done this before and here is what i did around december 2021 i think. It was for a little animation thingy i was making. (Using vectors only - ill show the animation later)

Here's some more assignment stuff - designing the robots

Here's the vector stuff (got lazy here)

And the "game or dvd thing" (super low effort lol - i will work on high effort anatomy stuff tmr)

Alrighty. that's all i have done today.

As promised here is the assets for the animation i made back in december before i bought this course - i never did show it to anyone and wanna show it now

Here's the animation:

Lovely work on these bendy shapes! I found this so so hard at first and it is still challenging! Keep it up!
