Making a string envelope flap for the last holder page. The Planner stack is very thick now, lol, have to reduce the length of the card board folders.

DIY Planner - 8

Making a pen slot flap for the book from leftover leather. This estimate to fit 5 pens. Imagining 1 for eraseble multi pen, multi pen, white pen, highlighter? mechanical pencil?.

DIY Planner - 7

363rd day of 2020.

Trying out different pockets, see through, deep and expendable. 

DIY Planner - 6

362nd day of 2020.

Making flap folder with slots for different sizes of cards.

DIY Planner - 5

361st day of 2020.

Making inserts, Cutting slot and test which material stick labels better.

DIY Planner - 4

360th day of 2020.

Simple saddle book binding booklet for the planner.

DIY Planner - 3

359th day of 2020.

Elastic cord with beading. Seems like the trinket is too complicated, simpler is better, have to think of other ways to use the trinket.

DIY Planner - 2

358th day of 2020.

Making trinket for planner.

DIY Planner - 1

357th day of 2020.

Finally working on the traveler style planner~

Planner 2021 - Yearly

356th day of 2020.

A spreadsheet over view for the whole year.

Planner 2021 - Cover

355th day of 2020.

Simplicity is the theme. Actually, there is a huge chronodex guideline in the centre. Year 2020, I have 12 chronodex for each month, but did not seemed to use it well. So This round condensing it into 1 chronodex for a whole year right in the front. cover.

Planner 2021 - Calendar

354th day of 2020.

I should have done this first before the monthly spread, lol.

Planner 2021 - Monthly 2

353rd day of 2020.

Took sometime to finish it due to missing out random days.

352nd day of 2020.

Cute Eggie.

Krita Animation - 9

350th day of 2020.

Adding the last blinking and blushing effect.

Krita Animation - 8

349th day of 2020.

Side tracked to play with setting up a suitable workspace to my way of working. Compare to photoshop frame by frame animation, this sort of animation allow user to visualise the actual length of animation of each key frame better.

The con of Krita seemed to be unable to auto frame 'movement'. It can do opacity though.

Krita Animation - 7

348th day of 2020.

Trying out the animation timeline. Very different than what I am used to at Photoshop.

Krita Animation - 6

347th day of 2020.

Compare to other elements, the hair is definitely the most detailed. Shading part for hair had always been challenging, pretty happy with it. Even though more complex than eyes, but in someways easier to pick back up due to the detailed line art.

Krita Animation - 5

346th day of 2020.

Decided to do simple shadow shading, the fan is the more difficult one unexpectedly.

Krita Animation - 4

345th day of 2020.

It hit me pretty hard when I was struggling to paint the eyes, for a few hours that... it had been almost 5 years since my last time doing a coloured anime character drawing. It was some busy passed years. 

Krita Animation - 3

344th day of 2020.

Adding colours. Blue is my favourite colour, take some time to pick a blue I like.

Krita Animation - 2

343rd day of 2020.

Added more details on hair and the fan.

Had been spending a lot of time looking into the different brushes.

Krita Animation - 1

342nd day of 2020.

Experimenting Krita animation. First, some character sketch~

Planner 2021 - Work Sheet

341st day of 2020.

Even though this had been done before, it is nice to re-look whether there is any new mixture to improve on.

340th day of 2020.

Monthly spread. Thinking to include previous month and next month. There are options of notes or checklist.

Inky Floral 31

 305th day of 2020.

The end of the Inktober challenge. Will begin the NaNoWriMo tomorrow.

Inky Floral 30

304th day of 2020.

The only plant that score a landscape sketch.

Inky Floral 29

303rd day of 2020.

This petal literally referenced from a skirt, another flowy petal design. Strange that different prompt could still lead me to attempt similar petal design.

Inky Floral 28

302nd day of 2020.

Looking back a bit, I am surprised to realized that i have done many leafy plants.

Inky Floral 27

 301st day of 2020.

A very meticulous design on the poison part. The notes are getting longer.

Inky Floral 26

 300th day of 2020.

Big leafy plant, the simplest design yet. So I illustrate the growing stages.

Inky Floral 25

299th day of 2020.

Getting tired of herbs, venturing a bit into other areas where plant contributed.

Inky Floral 24

 298th day of 2020.

Another attempt on flowy spiraling petal.

Inky Floral 23

 297th day of 2020.

Did the overlapping much better this time, after the earlier two rounds.

Inky Floral 22

 296th day of 2020.

I seemed to like to use contrast as a method for inspiration translation. Many of the plant with somethinig heavenly, I match it with other dangerous stuff.

Inky Floral 21

 295th day of 2020.

Simple flower with useful herb.

Inky Floral 20

 294th day of 2020.

Very delicate petals that really test my skills. 

Inky Floral 19

 293rd day of 2020.

Another plant which I focus on leaf. Especially spent some more time on figuring out the fruit detail.

Inky Floral 18

 292nd day of 2020.

When designing this, I was getting a bit greedy to have a very very useful plant for the prompt word 'Chef'.

Inky Floral 17

 291st day of 2020.

Another big leaf plant, I like how this design focus on the veins. Very distinct.

Inky Floral 16

 290th day of 2020.

Contrasting poisonous nature, every part of the plant is poisonous or intimidating, but the fruit is heavenly.

Inky Floral 15

 289th day of 2020.

Scentless flower, but sweet, not poisonous. The thorny stalks protect the flower well.

Inky Floral 14

 288th day of 2020.

Big leaf plants seldom have pollen, I design this with a pollen core on leaf.

Inky Floral 13

 287th day of 2020.

This plant is odd in a sense that fragrance comes from the leaf, but the pollen is dangerously spicy.
