Nagi Official Artist Blog

sorry i for not posting in a while.. heh heh
well there is definitely a big halt on the video project for reasons i can't tell
and well basically i don't care to tell you.
well Please check out my Deviant here http://nagitoushiro.deviantart.com
i have done many drawings on here (none of them are really any good though)
well i did the feedburner thing which i have no clue what it does.
so anyways
today was the first time in a year that i wore shoes
yeah i know it is kind of dumb but still
i tried on some black and white "kicks??" with skulls on them
they are kind of weird to have on
i am too used to sandals I'm sorry
but hey I'm getting 2,0000 yen but i am not sure what to get
for sure i am getting this really cool jacket on ebay.com for 8000 yen.
but i'm not sure what to get with the rest either Copics
to finish this drawings i'm working on or headphones and matching pants.
Oh incase you are wondering it is all Visual Kei.
Please tell me what you think.

Now i stated this already on my deviant but I am going to change my direction in art.
I will start doing more 2013 drawings
and well more drawings about Nagi Toushiro.
Umm i have to do gradients and toning digitaly until i get an asistant.
I also have to color digitaly at the moment
i know i detest digital art but well i don't have any money
for paper for copics so i can't color.
Die will actually start having drawings on here
He will draw them out and i will ink them.
I really want you people to check out my drawings on deviantart
i have done 4 drawings since my last post i think.
But again i will try my best to be totally traditional
but when i upload i will do touchups like if i didn't ink enough (i don't own any bamboo brushes at the moment) or if a little drop of ink spilled.
Here you can see my drawings here (please add me to your watchlist)

There are Primary Requirments
1. Can Do Screen Toning (could probably trace well and draw neatly)
2. Can Do backgrounds (can draw Very well)
3. Can Ink Drawings (can paint neatly [no painting outside the lines])

also we're looking for a girl to be the asistant

email me at nagitoushiro@yahoo.com

Oh another thing
it will take me about 1 month to finish the tutorial
i need the equipment 1-3 weekends i need to film it wich will take me 1-2 weekends edit it 1 week and then i need to re-edit and then re shoot some parts -1 weekend so yeah...
but i think i will do 2 videos so that i can make them pretty often
i think i will do videos 2 a month or 1 a month or 1 every 3 weeks i dont know
i said the samething for deviant art but i never got to it
2 great new manga you guys should read if you like ecchi
AIKI
incredibly ecchi its surpasses the borders of ecchi
its borderline hentai but the story is kind of interesting
Change 123
the story is very interesting!! the ecchi content is much more milder then AIKI
but still more than average Ecchi (mostly cause it shows the tits)
but the story is very good and i love the concept.and unlike some AIKI Ecchi
is'nt a main part of the manga so its not disgustingly ecchi

also some other mangas i like from the weeekly jump
Bakuman
its a manga with an amazing story about two mangaka. It gives you much
info if you want to be one. It is my 2nd Fav manga. I highly recomend reading it.
To Love-Ru
its a pretty good manga more than average. the concept and story are really nothing
special but it just gets you hooked. in truth the story lately has been pretty dumb
with no real plot but i read it anyways.
Beezlebub
It is a very different from the average manga. It is so original i love the concept and story
the art is'nt perfect but not bad. Recomend to all.
Shaman King
its my most favorite manga. It is so Original from the Story to the Style. You'll love it
even before you read chapter 1. The characters are so amazing and original and you'll
get so hooked. I forced my friend to read the first tankoban and he's been reading it
every chance he gets. I highly recomend (unless you are trying to get over a manga adiction)
well thats all for now! Matane

Sigh Parents right?? well for a while now my parents have been against the idea
of being a mangaka. the don't think i can make it chances are very slim for me to
be one...
but now the are okay with me being one good right??? no it doesn't matter
if i can't be one on my own it doesn't matter what my parents care. but they
said they might help support me after high school. No chances in that though.

We are so poor next year i have to move away from my closest friends cause
of debt. We are in so much debt i am lucky enough to have Internet....
this is bad....

But there is good new though... I have made friends with another aspiring mangaka, Aoi Ametsuki. and if you are reading then well okay. Aoi is awesome
we've been talking for a while and......... (none of your business... Sorry) Oh and if you have not

Oh yea another thing i have an ipod it had 450 songs on it and when i tried to charge it all the songs were deleted!! i had to re download all the songs!! and plus one of the headphones came off so i bought another one but when i woke up they were broke. and then i paid my friend
for his headphones and they hurt my ears so i traded my brother for his and his
broke as soon as i got them!!!

Oh the reason for the title is this.
I've made a YouTube Account and all I've done is listen
to Dir en grey while i draw or do nothing..
well a while back i got a request from my friend to make a
how to draw manga tutorial. so okay.... well I'm lazy
and yeah but she is my friend so i want to do it.
I don't really no what to do like the basic concept of manga
or how to draw the general manga style...maybe both
that would be good yes!!
Well I will start filming and the tutorial will be
expected to be finished by 4/28/09
of course i can just do a simple one in one day but i want it
to count!! you know... well i don't know..
Oh yesterday i uploaded my first color drawing but its not that
good (in fact it is horrible)just see it

This Really Sucks!
Japan so much is needed to live!!

this is what happenedI went to the Local Art Supplies Shop to get some Indian Ink and Erasers
and they had Copic Sketch Markers.
I wanted to try them out so i bought 3 of them
0 - Colorless Blender, R02 - Flesh, E00 - Skin White and 40 Comic Paper.
I got home and did a simple line art for practice. (it was a face)
and then every time i tried to color it made the ink smudge even though it was dry!!?
Can someone help me!!!!!!?

(oh and i payed $30 for all the stuff!!) (only got $28 left now life is a b****)

oh yea guaranteed $331 - $400+ by July

-Lee

So far We've Released 2 Samples in the last 2 weeks
you can check them out on
http://nagitoushiro.deviantart.com/
(and for your information they have all been done by hand
with cheap ink and crappy copy paper. I also haven't got totally used to dip pens so don't hate)
+Digital Drawing are for posers


And so far I have raised about $50 on drawing requests
within the last week
(with an estimate of $370 by July and guaranteed $316 by July)
and in July expect some major updates.
Cause in July i get something special that could change this (and all the other..) websites
by so much.

But even with that money around $300 isn't enough still but i have a feeling that that will
give us even more money.
Die will also find a way to get money and hes 2 years older than me so he can get some big money faster.

And unfortunately Next Year Me and Die will have to go to different schools
so it will be hard to work together (but it wont really matter until after highschool)
so until then i will work my best to perfect my drawing skills

Here are the Samples
