Hello Vampiros da Deep Skykaze! Ɛ>愛
Eu sou a Ana Luísa e sejam bem-vindos ao meu cantinho no Tapas!
Aqui eu irei postar todos os meus projetos de quadrinhos, sejam eles pequenos ou grandes, antigos ou novos, mas o meu foco mesmo são nos mangás de vampiro da Deep Skykaze e Ainovamp Series!
Fiquem ligados nas minhas postagens para mais atualizações e não se preocupem com os meus desaparecimentos espontâneos, no final eu sempre volto.
A chuva cairá novamente na próxima noite...

Hello Vampiros da Deep Skykaze! Ok, eu sumi. A muito tempo atrás, nos posts da comunidade, eu avisei que eu sempre sumo por bastante tempo e depois volto, mas eu decidi dar uma resposta sobre o porquê eu sumi e atualizar vocês sobre os meus projetos.
O maior motivo do meu desaparecimento foi a publicação do primeiro capítulo de Lágrimas de Águas Brancas, eu não vou me estender muito nesse assunto pois eu irei explicar tudo no aviso que vou dar sobre a obra.
A verdade é que eu não me afastei só do Tapas e sim de todas as plataformas que envolvem a minha arte de alguma forma, eu não sei se eu irei voltar pra elas hoje mas pretendo que meu retorno não demore muito mais.
Dito isso... Vocês devem estar curiosos sobre os meus projetos, certo??
Sobre o projeto da minha lore e dos mangás de vampiros: Todos sofreram mudanças e nenhum foi cancelado.
A Deep Skykaze séries (que é a série de mangás sobre a minha lore) irá continuar junto com a minha banda e o mangá Vampire Vamcarte, que já está em produção e provavelmente terá sua data de lançamento revelada nesse ano.
A Ainovamp séries (A minha série de mangás de vampiros) Irá continuar também com Vampire Vamcarte, Pirinho e Capuccino, e O coração de 1 (Ou O Vampiro 1, o nome desse ainda não foi definido).
As 3 obras citadas acima possuem pelo menos uma parte do roteiro e todas seguirão como 3 obras separadas de 3 universos diferentes que não serão conectados.
Se tiverem perguntas fiquem a vontade para perguntar, até a próxima!

Finally! Chapter 1 of Tears of White Waters has been fully released (with all its pages)!! I'll be back soon with news and updates! Ɛ>愛
Hello, hello!!!!
Hey everyone, everything is practically ready, but I’m missing 6 pages that I don’t currently have with me (kind of, I only have the rough sketches I made). These pages are with Rafaella, who helped a lot with the manga. As soon as she sends them, I’ll release the chapter!
Here’s a life lesson: I’m never setting a release date again without at least finishing the storyboard first—
Oh! And for those curious: the chapter ended up with 43 pages. Ɛ>愛

End of Today’s Studies!
Yes… I found an illustration in the Vampire Knight art book that was full of sakuras! Tw
(As for the roses, there’s not much mystery—Matsuri draws them in a triangular, origami-like shape. You just have to be careful to avoid making them look like lotuses or too artificial.)
One very curious thing I noticed is that most of the sakuras were drawn facing backward.
In the end, I loved the result! I thought the contrast and delicacy of the flowers were marvelous, and I’ll definitely continue studying this style.
I also revisited the DeviantArt tutorial, which helped me pay attention to some details of the species. However, I much preferred Matsuri’s style overall.
I didn’t quite understand why Matsuri represents the centers of her flowers with a white glow, but it matched beautifully with the art book illustration. So, when I practice in both traditional and digital, I’ll replicate that glow.
Since I’m not really in the mood to study anymore today, I’ll leave the rest for tomorrow. After all, I don’t want to repeat the same mistake of overworking myself.
As the saying goes, “A little bit, but every day!”
I’ll wrap up the flower studies in traditional art with the lily and hydrangeas. I’ve completely fallen in love with hydrangeas after watching that video by Naoki Saito!
I could also do some observational studies with the plants I have at home… The problem is, there are so many! And some, like my desert roses, have already bloomed, so now I have to wait. I’m not sure what I’ll do about that.
After finishing the flower studies, I’ll move on to the ground, grass, and stones (there’s another tutorial by Jhayson [sorry if I’m spelling it wrong T-T] that caught my interest, even though I’m already good at drawing stones). Finally, I’ll tackle cities! Oh yes, I have a huge difficulty drawing human-made structures, whether isolated or in groups, and I’ll need that skill at its peak for Pirinho e Cappuccino!
Well, I think that’s it. See you soon!

Let’s Go!
I redid the flowers in a more organized and refined way, although I still prefer the tree.
Now, to continue this study, I’ll focus on some specific flower species: hydrangeas, red spider lilies, and finally, sakuras!
Oh yes, another thing I’ll be doing is studying the flowers that Matsuri draws (mostly roses), though this will be a bit trickier than the rest.
There’s a post on DeviantArt from an event about drawing sakuras.
I plan to revisit that tutorial and then try to adapt it for a full tree. My theory is that, from afar, sakuras are likely drawn similarly to leaves, meaning I won’t have to change much beyond the coloring—something I rarely do in traditional art.
Other than that, I’ve been considering drawing the first pages of Pirinho e Cappuccino around the time I release the first chapter of Lágrimas.
This would serve as a study, as I struggle to study digitally unless it’s through practical application—much like how I can’t properly draw new characters without working on them directly. It would also give me a clearer picture of how the manga might look (though I could always revise those pages over time).
I think it could be quite interesting! But what’s your opinion?
Remember, I haven’t revealed anything about the characters or the story itself yet, but we’ll get there soon!
And… I don’t know how to put this, but for the first time in my life, I’ve noticed mosquito larvae in my aquarium. I hope my fish eat them.

Where the Study Went Wrong
I focused so much on the tree that by the time I got to the flowers, I was already ready to quit. Even so, I pushed through and… well, yeah.
One flower turned out more scattered than the next.
I tried to keep going, aiming for something pretty and organized, but it didn’t work out. I hit my limit and just stopped.
But that’s not the end of it! Today, I’ll redo those flowers and continue the study until I reach the Sakuras.
The only issue is that this is a general study, so it’s not adapted to Matsuri’s style (Matsuri, please change your name, thank yo-). I haven’t found any YouTube videos of someone studying her style, and I have a bit of a problem with this type of study because, well, I’ve never really done it before.
Yes, even though everyone advises beginners to pick an artist they like and mimic their work as a study method… I never found joy in copying someone else’s style (and in the end, it always turned into something original I wanted to post). I also didn’t have any particular artist I admired enough to emulate. Back in the day, I tried to mimic Naruto’s style, but I never sat down to properly study it.
Now, studying Matsuri’s style… yeah, it’s been tough, and I haven’t fully grasped it yet.
Fortunately, studying the flowers Matsuri draws shouldn’t be hard since they’re always present in her illustrations. (By the way, my birthday is next month—someone get me the official Vampire Knight illustration book, T-T.)
The Challenge with Sakuras
This is where it gets tricky.
Another problem is that to study her style, I’d need to work digitally. For me, that’s much harder and more prone to procrastination than studying with traditional methods.
The Plan
So that’s it for now—I’ll go back to remake the flowers. (Yes, I plan to post my studies here, but I can’t promise any consistency.)
Oh, and by the way, I just emptied my third Bic pen—it’s such a satisfying feeling!

Tomorrow, I’ll share more details about this, and you’ll soon understand why!
Fun fact: The first artwork I made without studying Matsuri’s style gave me a sense of mastery and completion in the end. However, the post-study piece left me with a feeling of incompleteness.
A New Day, A New Study! Or Almost?
That was the plan, but something went wrong along the way...
Continuing from yesterday’s study, I was focusing on trees and wood textures to draw the Sakuras for the fictional city in my next manga. (Yes, this next project consists of more than one manga, but they all take place in the same setting. These studies are mainly centered on Pirinho Caído because, without a doubt, it will be the first manga I create. Even though it was the first one I conceptualized and I could work on all of them simultaneously [except Sangue de Cappuccino, which is a sequel], Pirinho Caído is still my favorite and the biggest, most central part of the project so far. So, it’s where I’ll start and where I’ll focus—for now, you could just consider it Pirinho e Cappuccino).
I’m considering naming the city Blood Rose (I name everything Blood Rose, so my concern is that something in this manga might already have that name and I’ve forgotten, but I don’t think so).
Back to the Sakuras
I intended to study them directly, but it was hard to find tutorials. Instead, I found a tree tutorial on a channel I already knew, so I decided to go with that.
I planned to finish yesterday’s study with flowers. I already know how to draw flowers, but I could always learn something new or deepen my understanding. For this reason, I binged a few drawing channels and rewatched videos about techniques I supposedly already knew (but did I, really?).
The key to drawing flowers is purely in your visual repertoire. My only issue with them (aside from laziness in searching for references) might be perspective. Even though I understand it, it’s still a weak spot for me.

What stands out is her coloring!
I used the Drawn Battle on the Desenho Mestre server to create the cover for the first Deep Skykaze manga (I lost, by the way, because I got way too excited about the fonts on fontesgratis.com.br). While working on it, I studied Matsuri’s style. This drawing went through so many different versions, especially in terms of composition and ideas it became unrecognizable in the end and… I don’t know. I don’t know if I liked it or not, or if it’s what I wanted to achieve. ButIfinallyarrivedatastyleI actually enjoy! Even though it’s far from perfect. (Fun fact:thiswasthe first timeIusedmyreal eyesasareference to draw eyesbecausemy friendNorffer thought my eyes were beautiful and unique but couldn’tquiteunderstand them.One day,he finally said he understoodthey had a perfect, unbroken arch. This made meappreciatemyeyesso muchthat, well, I did this. I loved the effect it created, and people are now recognizing me in my drawings, which makes me so happy, TwT.) Anyway, I’ll show a drawing I made for the Drawn Battle as well, from the same project, but done before I studied Matsuri Hino’s style. Moving Forward So… here we are. I’m on vacation, meaning I have free time in the mornings, so I can finally study! I’ve gotten so motivated to study for this project that I decided to dedicate some time to it, spending hours focused untilIwascompleteldrained.Butmoreonthat tomorrow.
The first thing I wanted to focus on is trees (I’m not studying fundamentals because I want to refine specific topics for this project). That’sbecause the city’ssetting will be very calm andserene.Although it’s a big city, it will have many cherry blossoms (Sakuras)! (Yes, the story takes place in Brazil, and Sakuras aren’t native to Brazil, but the city is fictional—a kind of utopia of mine—so bear with me. I know Brasil has beautifulnativespecies,butSakurasaresoimpactful forme!)So,Iwent onYouTubetohuntfortutorials dug up my study notebook, and voilà!

My Portuguese teacher would kill me for writing this… thank Goodness I’m on vacation.
Part 3/3
Alright, I have a series of issues with my manga, all caused by myself, and they mainly boil down to inconsistency and the art itself.
The Inconsistency
This comes from the days when I don’t feel like drawing (or want to draw something else) and also from losing excitement for one story because I’ve become engrossed in another.
Since I was a child, I’ve had this habit of starting something off really well, but if I push through while tired or unwilling, it turns into something poorly done (the opposite of well-done). This happened to my studies today, but I’ll explain more tomorrow.
The Art
There’s something about my drawing style that I don’t like—something in the coloring, which is supposed to be my strong suit, but it bothers me… and I don’t know what it is.
In Yasei and Lágrimas, this style fit perfectly with the theme of the manga and the stories, becoming a major positive aspect.
But with this new project… that cannot happen at all!
This project will be fully colored, so I decided to improve my art style—something I didn’t care about before but which has now become a significant concern. It’s weighing negatively on me, especially since I’m already at an intermediate drawing level.
Another issue is that I stopped studying drawing in the sixth month of last year, meaning I’ve gone a year and a half without studying. This has severely hindered my growth!
Two Areas to Improve in My Art:
Coloring
Backgrounds
With backgrounds, it’s hit or miss—either I create amazing ones with ease, or I struggle and end up with a bad result. This needs to change!
The Style
Remember Vampire Knight and Matsuri Hino? Well… the colored illustrations Matsuri creates are so stunning… (I know she uses watercolors, but that’s not the point since I’ll stick with digital art and don’t plan to mimic watercolor)

I wanted to step into that story. It’s so light and profound, so cute and emotional, so different from everything else, it nearly made me cry (and I almost never feel what a reader would feel reading my stories, so this is rare).
So, I decided to make Pirinho e Cappuccino my lore!
But…
But how?
I wasn’t part of that story and didn’t want to ruin it in any way. And since I never completely like the lores I create for myself, this could…
I scrapped the main plot of Skykaze.
Oh yes…
But what was Skykaze, exactly?
Skykaze was a main story based on my life, with smaller extras told in more realistic but metaphorical ways.
So, I took Skykaze’s main story and created Deep Skykaze.
Now it’s like this:
Deep Skykaze is a series of manga telling my lore, while manga marked just as Skykaze are canon to Deep Skykaze but focus on me in a more realistic way, not on the lore itself.
One of the manga I planned for Deep Skykaze is Lembra que Tu És (not sure if that will be the name or the final cover, but it’s a placeholder for now). The inspiration came from rewatching the movie Spirit—a film I watched daily as a child. The song Sound the Bugle was very emotional, though there’s a lot in it I disagree with.
This manga sort of merges Pirinho e Cappuccino from the Ainovamp Series with my lore (meaning it now belongs to the Deep Skykaze Series too) without my presence altering those two manga. In other words, I’ll be there but as a secondary character (in the first manga, I’ll literally be a background character; in the second, I’ll have a bigger role but still far from the focus).
These two Ainovamp Series manga, now also part of the Deep Skykaze Series, are my fourth big project… and no, I won’t share details about these three manga today, HAHA! (There’s also a fourth manga, but that’s a separate case.) I’ll explain it better another day—maybe tomorrow, maybe on the 9th… who knows.
And now, yes, in the next post, you’ll understand what this all has to do with studying!
