17. Troublesome Bell Peppers

Honestly this is the first time I heard of Fixative. I didn’t know it makes the colors more smooth and fixes the edges. Very interesting and impressive.
tamakimikesaka
Oh, I see. I'm sure your local art supply store probably has it. It's effective for pencil drawings, colored pencils, and crayon art.
Artists who use paints or ink don't really favor fixatives.
Since your art has more of an ink-like feel, that might be why you weren’t familiar with it.

15. ◆Crayon Care(3/3)
tamakimikesaka
Thank you! I’ll be sharing more episodes explaining the color wheel in the future. It’s a bit further down the line, but please look forward to it!
Agentny003
@tamakimikesaka: Will do. 👍

15. ◆Crayon Care(2/3)
tamakimikesaka
Yes, the next episode is actually about explaining the color wheel.
I always struggle with the order in which to teach drawing techniques...
If reading this episode made you think of the color wheel, then I’d say the episode was a success.
Thank you!
Agentny003
@tamakimikesaka: No problem. 👍

Agentny003
Sharing is caring.
tamakimikesaka
I think so too.
Student Otohashi(penguin) lends me all sorts of things.
Thanks to him, I've come to like The Beatles, Simon&Garfunkel and The Carpenters.
What made me the happiest was being introducing to Billy Joel.

14. ◆Mixing with White
Agentny003
Yeah. it’s good to learn what your grandparents and those who are seniors have gone through during the lives.
tamakimikesaka
When I was a child, my grandparents used to tell me many stories. Now, my elderly students do that for me. Sometimes, I forget which one of us is the student. lol
tamakimikesaka
I think so too.
That's why I considered writing essay, but I predicted that making manga would be more fun.
It was right. I'm really enjoying drawing manga everyday.
I'm also happy that I got to meet you.
Thanks for always leaving your comments!
Agentny003
No problem. Thanks for reading my series.

12. ◆Never Layer All Colors Everywhere
Agentny003
That’s why it’s good to know how to mail packages containing food.
tamakimikesaka
I think a refrigerated delivery service would be the best option. I wouldn’t recommend using a letter pack.
Agentny003
Many different ways to use crayons.
tamakimikesaka
You're absolutely right.
I love drawing animal fur with crayons.

10. The Hoodie I Gave Dad
Agentny003
Happens all the time. either the customer or store give you the wrong item. 😆
tamakimikesaka
I haven't encountered that situation very often.
I was really surprised, but I was happy with how the store stuff handled it.
tamakimikesaka
That's ringht. It's been almost a year since he joined my class.
tamakimikesaka
Now, he spots me from afar and runs over with a big smile.
It's so endearing!
samzzatw

tamakimikesaka
This child once had trouble remembering my face, but now he greets me with a smile every time he comes to my classroom.

6. ◆Coloring From Light to Dark
Agentny003
looks like someone needs a workout. 😆😁😊
tamakimikesaka
That's me, But I'm not good at it. lol
Agentny003
@BlessingCleverCommander817: that make up lesson is your version of extra credit. accept there’s no grades or anything like that.
tamakimikesaka
Exactly.
When I offer a make-up lesson, the students are very happy.
Seeing their smiles makes me feel incredibly happy.
Thank you for introducing me to the new concept of extra credit!
Agentny003
Doing is a cityscape is a great challenge for artists. Keep it up. 👍
tamakimikesaka
Yes, she is currently interested in buildings.
I have provided various samples to help her enjoy the lessons.

2. Let's draw something you love
IzaiahCoran
Even with explanations, it can go over my head 😅.
tamakimikesaka
@IzaiahCoran
This episode might be a little confusing because of how I structured the dialogue.
Tamaki thinks that in Japan, companies often use a family name as their business name.
She also feels that in English-speaking countries, using a first name as a company name is more common.
So she worries that Japanese people who see a sign that says “Tamaki Art Class” might assume her last name is Tamaki.
Then the bird friend replies, “I like the family name Mikesaka!”
And yeah… logically, that response doesn’t really match the concern.
When I was planning this episode, I thought that miscommunication itself was funny, so I leaned into that.

ArtsylovesTOdraw
cute!

@ArtsyloversTOdraw
Thanks!
I'm planning to revise Episodes 1 and 2 at some point.

Wow I didn’t know you can baby powder for this. I didn’t learn that in art class years ago.
tamakimikesaka 1 year ago
It's a very minor piece of knowledge in art.
A lot of artists who specialize in crayons don't know it.
I'm really glad you learned about it.
