Ukiyoe - Blog Posts

by Hiroshige III (a student of the more famous Hiroshige).

It's extra Dai-Nippon Gothich because it's an ad for a circus performing on the grounds of the Yasukuni shrine.

Tried out a different program that’ll let me not only easily do isometric designs, but also draw with vectors in it. The program I usually use I could only do squares. Being able to actually color pick a color pallet also is a great plus. Inspired by Japanese ukiyo-e paintings.

I’m doing some Ukiyo-e studies today for fun while the power is out. 😑 . #ukiyoe #ukiyoeart #japanesestyle #ukiyoestyle #inkpainting #artstudy #painting #artistic #artworkpromotion #artistoninstagram #artoftheday #artfeature #artpage #gouachelandscape #100daysofart #artchallenge #gouache #gouachepainting #gouacheillustration #gouacheart #gouachepaint #gouacheartist #landscapepaintings #landscapeart (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSR6PXYFB0Y/?utm_medium=tumblr

WORK IN PROGRESS // I’m writing the kitsune and kappa stories today for my Mythic Mail Japan illustrated novel. I have my trusty printed dummy copy to refer to and inspire me while I write. 💜 . #mythicmail #japaneseculture #ukiyoe #kitsune #kappa #yokai #indiebooks #indiebook #yokaiart #kitsunemask #kitsunegirl #japanesemonster #japan #illustrationartists #illustragram #illustratorsoninstagram #illustrationoftheday #digitalart #californiaartist #visitjapan #traveljapan #independentauthor #indieauthor #indieauthorsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CRHTZxns4Oi/?utm_medium=tumblr

WORK IN PROGRESS// Last spot illustration in my new book, Mythic Mail Japan!!! 🎉 Like my great grandmother, also an artist, I have a great fascination with Ukiyo-e style art. I really admire traditional Japanese paintings. It appears simplistic, but in actuality, this style is very difficult to replicate—especially since my personal style is semi realistic. But I love it all the same and I’m excited to feature a few Ukiyo-e inspired illustrations in my book. . #mythicmail #ukiyoe #ukiyoeart #japanesestyle #daruma #darumadoll #artistsoninstagram #painting🎨 #artistic #artworkpromotion #artoftheday🎨 #artpage #illustrationartist #digitalillustrations #digitalpaintings #digitalartwork #digitalarts #digitalarttutorial #digitalartist #californiaart #procreateartist #ipadart #californiaartist (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQWf9IHMLVY/?utm_medium=tumblr
