Real to me

Yuki and Tanjirou~

Let me introduce my girlfriends OC, Tanjirou :3

They're kinda classmates, or something :3 Yeah..... Maybe I'll post the whole story sometime xD But not now. Bye~

Roderich

More Hetalia fanart! This one is also pretty old. Not as old as the one with Sasuke, but still old. And as the title says, it's Austria, aka Roderich Edelstein :3 Eating a Gilbird-lollipop.....

Used a reference for this, but can't find it again. As I said, it's very old.

See you!

Life's good again!

All the pain is gone (for the moment) and I'm making pancakes and soon I'm of to the stables! Yeah, I take riding lessons every Monday and Tuesday :3 And yes, I'm PMSing much..... Anyway, here have another Teru!

 

Life sucks D:

Today my school had a day off, and the university in Lund held an open house, which I was going to attend, and I was also going try out a student's cap. Damn, I'm graduating in a couple of months! I was also going to the optician at 10, to check my sight and order a new pair of glasses, but when I got home from there I just felt so sick I had to stay home. Had felt bad ever since I woke up this morning, but hoped it would get better, but apparently not. So now I'm lying in our sofa, wrapped up in a blanket with a big cup of tea and the worst headache ever. Life sucks. And then you die. But that doesn't mean I have forgotten you, dear friends and readers~! So yeah, today you'll get Naruto! Yeah, I read Naruto. or did at least, haven't read (or made any Naru.fanart) in like half a year. Which means this picture is pretty old, but whatever, it's still pretty nice :3

Not the most complicated or detailed picture, but sometimes simple pictures can be nice as well :3

Still a crazy, patched up MATRYOSHKA

Life is wonderful right now <3

Taiwan sketch~

Today I won't give you anything better than a simple sketch, cause I simply don't have time for something else. It's late and I'm going to school early tomorrow. Bless god I'm free on Tuesday :D I can sleep as long as I want to!

It's supposed to be Taiwan from Hetalia, but it could be pretty much any shoujo-girl... I actually considered cosplaying her for a while, but I don't think I will.... Ah btw, check out my cosplayaccount on dA here! Umm yeah. That's it for today! See you tomorrow!

PSYCHO

I have a weakness for psycho-kids. Love to draw them, to write about them, read about them, watch anime with them and so on. So of course I've got a psycho-oc xD His name is Rei and he's, well, psycho <3 I've got this awesome plot in my head, where he's really psycho. You remember my oc Yuki? Rei is madly in love with him. And since Yuki doesn't love him back, it's driving him crazy. Gawd I love psycho-kids <3
Here's a pic of him!

Psycho-kids and blood are love <3 And I do realize I sound crazy now but whatever xD I guess the picture kinda tells, but he's got black hair and red eyes, loves blood and to kill, and he's got a killed stuffed animal (haven't decided what kind yet, probably a rabbit of some sort....) which he likes to tear apart and stitch together. I think he's my new fave oc, sorry Yuki. Expect to see more of him in the future!

So long!

Izu~♥

:C

I have once again neglected this blog. That's bad. I apologize to anyone who might read this, which seems to be none xD Come on, comment guys! Makes this more fun for both you and me! Anyhow, I've got quite a few new pictures scanned now, so expect more regular updates in the future! One of the new pictures is more realistic than my usual work, just because I felt like trying it xD And it turned out pretty good actually xD

Yeah, umm... Kamijo of Versailles, totally gorgeous as always :3 As you can see it's not all finished, and if I know myself right (which I do) I won't finish it either xD Live with it xD

Once again I apologize to anyone who read this shit, and I promise more regular updates in the future! And remember to comment! It's so quiet here! xD

/Izu

Hardcore yaoi!

Okay, maybe not THAT hardcore, but w/e, it's yaoi xD Again, my own characters. I've been drawing them a lot lately xD And this time you get to see Kousei in colour as well 8D

Izu~

Ballpoint pen sketch

Celebrated my granny's 80th birthday today, and while waiting for the cake I made this with a nice ballpoint pen I found on her desk :3 I like ballpoint pens, they slide over the paper so smoothly :3 :3

So, this is my OC's Yuki (who you've seen before) and Kousei, who you haven't seen yet xD I should make a coloured pic of him so you see what he looks like xD But he's got silvery grey hair, that's all you need to know atm xD

So yeah, that's it for today! Tomorrow you might get yaoi! If I'm not too lazy xD But hopefully~~

See yah!

Random stuff!

Some weeks ago the school I attend had it's 50th anniversary and it was celebrated in several different ways. First A dude had a thirty-minutes speech, which was pretty boring. Then we had ordinary classes for about an hour, and then there was an awesome carnival procession through the yard, and after that the teachers put big cans of crayons for drawing on asphalt on the yard, and we went wild! This is some of the creations we made, these first ones are the ones that I made:

 Rearing horse, with too long legs :D

 Pokéball, the pikachu not drawn by me but by Sakura xD

 Amerimochi :3

 And you just lost the game :D


The pictures below is not drawn by me, but by my friends :3

 My little pony, made by Sakura :3

 Jigsaw, made by Sasuke D:

 Awesome dragon, made by my lovely girlfriend :33 (with gravity-defying hair, due to participating in the carnival procession xD)

 Sakura, made by Sakura (duh xD)

And a snake, made by Pexie! :D

Unfortunately, the next day it rained, so everything got washed away :C

So, some random shit for you today xD tomorrow I hope to be back with something "real" xD

So long!

Izu~ :3

Belarus~

My first "real" digital picture is finally done! Still need to improve a lot, but I'm pretty proud of it atm at least :3

Tools: Paint tool SAI, ps (for finishing touches), tablet
Time: about 5-6 hours I guess

Yeah, that's it :D

Izu~

Lineart

The Belarus picture is very soon done! Just need some shading and then I'll show you all, but in the meanwhile I'll share the lineart with you

Damn scary, right? xD

Anyhow, feel free to color it, but if you're going to post it somewhere be sure to credit me, either on this blog, IzumiART.blogspot.com or GinMangetsu @ deviantart!

That's all for now, see yah!

Izu ♥

New project!

I went to this convention in Sweden called KodachiKun today, and we decided to sit down and draw for a while. Not knowing what to do I started doodling on my paper, and realized it looked a bit like Belarus form APH. I didn't plan on keeping it at first, but my girlfriend forced me to bring it home, and on the train I just sat staring at it for 15 min and I got the best idea for a "real" picture so when I got home I went straight to my computer and scanned it and this is what it looked like: (Don't mind the feet lol)

Most parts are pretty fail xD But all that will be fixed in the finished version :D Oh, and the face will be completely different ;)

And suddenly the chess picture was not so fun to work on any more :D But I'm probably finish it after this xD

Now I'm off to work on it again~ And it's 3.30 am Dx

Anyhow, see you!

Izu~♥

Troll druid: Cat form

First of all I wanna apologize for not updating, but I have been terribly sick the past week and not able to post anything. I'm better now though, and back with a whole new category of pictures; world of warcraft related stuff! xD Originally I'm an alliance-player, my top level horde is at lvl 15 xD But I suddenly got the urge to try out the hordes as well, so I chose a troll, mostly for the raptor mounts <3 I chose to be a druid, god knows why xD But at turning lvl 8 I learnt cat form shapeshift, and omg the troll cats are love <3 So asdfghjkl cute! So I print-screened myself and made a drawing of my lil troll :3

What'ya think? ;D Except for the hind paws I'm damn proud for being my first time drawing cats/tigers/lions/whatever xD But the front paws turned out better than expected. Paws are like hands, super hard to draw for no reason at all. But yeah, practise makes perfect, right? ;D

Senjhir -Khadgar, make sure to say hi if you play on that server :D

Now I'm off to quest again, see you

Izu~♥

Hands, hands, hands

I hate hands. Hate them, hate them, hate them. Seriously, they're killing every drawing I make! Gaaaah! So, to get better, I have decided to draw hands as much as I can. A couple of months ago I drew this hand study while following a really good tutorial, and I really think it helped.

Now the next step is to draw without a tutorial and just looking at hands, and then without looking and just drawing from your mind. I'm gunna die :D
Ah well, now I need to sleep. It's 11.10 pm and I'm going up 06.00 am. like... 6 and a half hours sleep? Go me! And my girlfriend is gunna kill me if I miss my train tomorrow :D

Good night!

Alfred F. Jones

This is, according to me, the best drawing I've ever done. I made it in Thailand when we were on vacation there last Christmas. Damn I miss Thailand. I remember we were watching Beauty and the Beast in Thai while I drew this. I used to watch the movie in the beginning, and only draw in the commercial breaks, but as I got more and more caught up in drawing I continued on the picture even when the movie played in the end. That was good times :'3

Sadly enough, the whole composition of the picture is not mine, since I used a ref pic for it. Though I can't find it anywhere on the web anymore.

As for the chess pic I'm working on- I haven't really made progress today, only finished sketching out Americas clothes. But I hope to continue with it tomorrow! Or later today... Anyhow, now I'm off to make popcorn!

So long

Izu♥

Checkmate: progress update

Sooo I worked a bit on my latest sketch today~ Not much though, homework to do xD And it takes damn long to draw digitally Dx Just outlining Austria with the light blue took like 1½ hours! God I'm so not used to digital drawing xD Anyhow, here's the progress this far!

 

Fixed a few things in PS, like making his head smaller and moving it further back. Needs to be moved even more though... But I'll do that tomorrow, now I'm gunna watch a movie, "My best friend's girl" I think it was called. Pretty funny this far :D

See you!

Izu~

WIP Checkmate

Started working on this today, and I just scanned it to continue working on it on my computer! I really need to learn how to draw digitally xD Anyway, It's Austria and America, chess version!

It's really a pain to work on something like this for several hours, and then discover the head of Austria is too big! Ah well, there's nothing that can't be fixed in photoshop!

So long

Izu♥

I have failed!

I didn't update yesterday. My deepest apologizes for that, though I do have a legible reason, cause my friend came over to my place :3 So today I will give you my, this far, best work within the Hetalia-chess theme!
Enjoy! :3

One thing I'm not really satisfied with is his shadow. You don't really notice it's a rook unless you know it xD

And I bet you just checked it up xD

But I guess practise makes perfect :3

That's all for today, and I will try not to miss any days in the future!

Izu~ ♥

Eyes/nose/mouth/face studies~

Kind of a practise-thingy~ I like to draw stuff like this, and practise facial expressions. It's fun~~ :D

Short blog post it short xD

So long!
Izu~

Horses playing

When I was smaller, I always drew horses. Though, when I discovered manga and anime I stopped and only drew people instead, but a few days ago I tried to draw horses again, and here's the result:

 

For  some weird reason I have improved A LOT, even though I haven't been drawing horses. I guess you don't just get better at drawing the things you draw, but things in general. You know, practising the eye and it's ability to see the right position of things and stuff. 

Anyhow, this is just a sketch, but I might color it later~ 

So long

Izu~ ♥

Yuki!

Like every artist, I've got OC's. Though, they're only two at the moment, named Yuki and Kousei :3 I don't have any decent drawings of Kousei yet, but I'll show you Yuki now :3

He's so gay 8'D And I totally love him <3 Though, I'm not quite satisfied with his haircolor. And I don't know if I will keep it or give him another color. I've tried a bit less red, and more brown-ish color, but that's not quite right either... Ah well, I'll most probably change it later xD


Izu~ ♥

Chess

There are this awesome chess artwork for Hetalia, found here (don't know where it comes from originally, but you can see all the designs in that forum)
Anyway, me and my friends decided to cosplay them, but since none of us cosplay Germany, but I cosplay Prussia, we decided to put Prussia in Germanys place, since they're brothers and all that, and, in Hetalia, pretty much the same country. Ever since then we always draw Prussia as the black rook, so whenever I post something from the chess design, it will be with Prussia and not Germany. Just so you won't get confused xD

With that said, I present to you my first Hetalia chess fanart ever! Now a week old, and with several followers though xD Raw from scanner, not even touched-up in ps xD Enjoy!

Censur means censored in swedish xD

Izu~

First sketch!

 

 I promised you at least one pic/day, so here's the first one! It's some kind of combination between a sketch and drawing; too detailed and shaded to be a sketch, but not really a finished drawing either. So yeah. Something in between. 

Either way, it's supposed to be Teru, guitarist of the visual kei band Versailles (my absolute fave band atm, fyi xD) ref image found here: http://oi52.tinypic.com/2upssxi.jpg

I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THAT PERSON! So friggin' cute! >w< And I totally LOVE drawing him, so expect more pics to come! :D

I should stop ranting now 8D But first I just gonna embed a PV of their first single, The Revenant Choir. Listen to it, it's amazing <3

 

So long!

Izu~ <3

Hello!

So, I decided to start a drawing blog too, together with a cosplay blog! Here I will post drawings, sketches, WIP's and so on. So! To avoid this getting dead, I've decided to post one drawing/scetch/WIP every single day, so you can follow my updates, be the first ones to see new drawings and so on!

And I swear I will (try to) do it! 8D

So long!

Izu~
