My Dagger messed up my long glove

I was trying out a cosplay character look with the prop Dagger I brought form Hong Kong, and found that the Dagger torn some part of the long black glove. That sort of pissed me off, but at the same time I was very confused, because I didn't see any share anyway on the dagger handle. How in the world did the handle torn my black glove? Gotta figure it out some day some time.

Didn't brought that 38 inches long sword

In order to make my Martial Art cosplay costume look more authentic, I was trying to buy a sword to accommodate it. Unfortunately, most swords I saw at a store I went to in Hong Kong were at least 38 inches long, definitely couldn't fit in my suitcase. That's why I brought a shrinkable sword instead. The full size sword cost HK$110, which is pretty resonable, and I doubt that I can find it at the same price here in United States. Oh well, maybe next time when I get back that I'll finally get one.

costumes

I am still on the plane now, but if my luggage didn't then lost along the way, then I will have quite some new costumes to use in the coming one year. In fact, almost half of my luggage are various costume related clothing. I didn't really planned on buying that many, but for as the price was right, I thought, why not.

Comment to myself

Comment by myself:

• The shading (like tone and brush) seems very sloppy. Need to spend more time on shading. Do it right, or not do it at all.
• I need to figure out how to create new pen and save it in Manga Studio. The default G Brush is too huge for shading some detail spot, and yet I can't find another default one that does the job.
• Lines are still shaky. Improving, but only slightly.
• Need to do more exercise drawing white lines on the top of black.

More inking exercise

I think beside trainning myself to draw lines smoother, I need to remind myself not to join all the lines all the time.

A little bit ... errr....

This is just panel of a page in a manga that I am working on, but since the content seems a bit H, I don't want to put it here. Maybe I'll create another blog for that later.

Inking exercise

I realized that I am not really good at using G Pen to ink manga, and thought that I need to keep doing exercise in order to master it. So in the coming future I will keep posting my exercise here. Please let me know if you have any comment. I need serious comment in order to improve :-} Thanks!
