More procreate videos! It was fun trying to figure out how Percy would wear a sweater that's easily 5+ sizes too big for her heehueheeI realized she was wearing huge slouchy socks in the previous illo so I made a version where she was wearing them, for the sake of continuity.

I keep forgetting I can export videos from procreate! I've been doing a lot of work on the ipad lately so I'll be sharing videos for a bit!Here's part 1 (of 3) of the holiday sweater illustrations. I'm really happy people enjoyed this extremely stupid joke from me and Ananth hahaha
Yuko's Favorite Books of 2019
HELLO HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! My computer logged itself out of patreon over the holiday and since I spent my holiday recuperating after a surgery I didn't look up the password again until today ha haWelcome to my Favorite Read (audio) Books of 2019! I listen to audiobooks while I work and tend to burn through them semi-quickly. In 2018 and 2019 I got into digital library loans through the Libby app, I highly recommend it! Most of these were gotten for free through the library, with a few exceptions.My favorite books I read of 2019 were Bad Blood...
Happy Holidays!
Early update. We're off for the holidays! Back in 2020, see you then! And thank you so much for all of your support in 2019!Onwards!

Cintiq Companion doodle
Yesterday a friend let me play around with his old Cintiq Companion ... in the end I don't think I don't think I enjoyed it enough to replace my iPad drawing setup, but I did have a fun time drawing Rook!

HI WE'RE BACK!! I'm going to keep skipping around in this chapter! Because this is the last chapter in the first story arc, a lot of the most interesting things about the background intent of some pages would make reading the incoming rest of the chapter less fun, imo. I might go back into earlier chapters and talk about older pages I like, who knows, the future is a mystery ~✨I REALLY LIKE DRAWING BABY PERCY!! I hope we do more flashbacks in the future, ha ha. I enjoy drawing kids in general and don't get a lot of chances to do i...

I was already 90% done with writing this one and then patreon completely deleted it while I was inserting a link so this one might be a little shorter than usual simply because I'm leaving for an appointment soon and I'm running short on time hahaHELLO AND WELCOME TO HALE'S MAGIC SHOWChapter 5 / Page 4 is the first time we get to see 1.) writ magic being used 2.) a huge spell being implemented properly on-screen, so we wanted to make it FLASHY!!!!

On to page 3!!!!This whole scene continued to be a challenge to do hahaha - the opening scene of Chapter 5 moves really quickly but I wanted to make sure the audience had a strong sense of environment, power dynamic, and character emotion.I wanted really badly for the middle environmental shot (panel 4) to have a top-down camera angle to let the characters breathe more in an open environment - but there were some problems with a shot like that in a page like this! First, this was a page with 6 panels, so I couldn't really give a panel like ...

Attached are the thumbnail / pencil / ink / color cues / written color notes that I handed off to Jones for final colors! You can see the final version of Page 2 here.Page 2 had to do a LOT OF HEAVY LIFTING with environmental storytelling. This chapter went through an incredible number of rewrites, and the opening scene had the MOST rewrites of everything. This chapter is the longest yet (spoilers: this chapter is the longest yet) so with this scene we wanted to cut out as much fat as possible and start out in the middle of the action.We tried ...
