Looks can be deceiving.

He has no idea how beautiful he looks,
how long his eyelashes are, or how clear his voice is.
And sometimes, I forget that he’s actually a cockatiel.
The way he shows me friendship feels almost human.

51. My Waiting Time Pleasure
Agentny003
Why do I have a feeling you did something you weren’t supposed to do? 😆
tamakimikesaka
>Agentny003
Your hunch was right.
I totally regret buying an abocado cutter. (T ^ T)

50. When Our Mutual Consideration Backfires
Agentny003
Great Minds think alike. 😆

>Agentny003
Yeah, we truly care about each other, but this taught me that good intentions alone aren't enough to make someone happy.

48. ◆How to Apply Bleeding
Agentny003
Blending can also lead to creating Gradients.

Yeah, I’m pretty good at blending deep, rich colors.
But I struggle with highlights and lighter gradients.
You, on the other hand, seem to have a real talent for them
—your lightning and shimmering water are absolutely stunning.
That’s one of the things I love about your art!

47. ◆How to Apply Blurring
Agentny003
Blending also comes in layers
tamakimikesaka
>Agentny003
Yeah!
I want them to experience the joy of layering blends to create rich, deep artwork.

46. ◆Color Combinations
Agentny003
The way you use the prism to show how light impact the colors is a good example. Very smart using the Art side of Physics for your presentation.
tamakimikesaka
@Agentny003
You're right!
I’m planning to post an episode explaining it using a prism.
Physics is really useful, so I often reference it in my lessons.

45. ◆The Background of the Hippo Picture
Agentny003
There are so many colors it’s takes creativity to fuse them into entirely new colors. Time to make the Color Wheel even bigger.
tamakimikesaka
@Agentny003
Yeah, you're right!
We should create a big color wheel that includes brightness and saturation too.
Even if it ends up as complex as the New York subway map, I’m all for it! lol

44. An Accident in the Bath
Agentny003
If you borrowed it from the library, you’ll have to pay for the damage. 😆
tamakimikesaka
@Agentny003
Just imagining that makes my heart sink.
I think I'll try to buy books instead of borrowing them from the library whenever I can.

@Agentny003
So, you're a dryer guy!
I hang mine out on the balcony, one by one.
Agentny003
@tamakimikesaka: and let the wind do the work; interesting.

Talk about irresponsible parents.

@Agentny003
Yeah...
I truly hope accidents like this become less and less.

Sushi is sushi. If you’re hungry, your mind isn’t focused on how it looks, but how it tastes.
tamakimikesaka
I think so too.
But Japanese customers are really particular about details.
It’s true for both food and manga.
It’s actually common to get complaints if the sushi is delivered sticking together.
Personally, I just eat it as is, though.

40. Striped Love(1/3)
Agentny003
I know what is like. Love is not always about looks; it’s about finding the connection to that person for who they are; not by how they look. personality also matters; it’s a key piece to building a powerful relationship.
tamakimikesaka
Yes, watching their conversation made me reflect deeply on the meaning of love.

There’s nothing with learning from your Students. it’s part of life; we learn from each other.
tamakimikesaka
Yeah, I appreciate them and you!

Agentny003
Seems too advanced for both sides.
tamakimikesaka
It took me four days to figure it out.
From this experience, I’ve learned that clarity is more important than cuteness.

Food is what keeps me going as well
tamakimikesaka
>Agentny003
I think so too, but he stubbornly refused to admit it.
>samzzatw
Egg and tuna sandwiches are my go-to for keeping me healthy.
What's your favorite food?
Agentny003
Learning different shades of the colors is a good way to improve detail; especially when adding detail to an object or characters of a comic.
tamakimikesaka
>Agentny003
That's right. I often teach this to my students who are kids.

Bless you!

I’m truly relieved my runny nose didn’t end up on his artwork.
>iHateFridays
Thanks!

35. The Black Heifer(3/3)
Agentny003
Passion and practice makes perfect.
tamakimikesaka
They're definitely in our hearts, yours and mine.
That's how I feel whenever I read your manga.
With each new episode, your art keeps evolving into something even better.
By the way, I scheduled my post to release the episode at 12:00 in your country.
It just so happened that I was awake today, and right after the notification that the episode went live, I got your comment notification.
Your comment speed might just outpace a Tesla at full throttle!
Thank you, as always.
And Happy New Year!
