About This Video

In this video, I’m walking you through my Mazinger Z mixed media illustration—and honestly, it turned into two big lessons at once: art process and real-life logistics. This piece started as a giveaway win for a subscriber, and I was so excited to send it out… until I hit the USPS counter and got smacked with a $40+ shipping quote. If you’re an artist who wants to mail originals (especially overseas), I’m sharing what I learned the hard way about planning sizes, packaging, and costs before you promise anything. On the art side, this one was a fun challenge because Mazinger Z needs clean, precise shapes, but I still wanted it to feel bold and colorful. I combine KOI watercolors, Ohuhu alcohol markers, and Arrtx acrylic markers to build up the layers and get those punchy details. And yes—we need to talk about the fluorescent fail. I ran into a major problem trying to scan/translate those bright fluorescent colors digitally, so I’m breaking down why that happens and what I’d do differently next time. Keep creative, keep safe, and always be kind.
