Before discussing who is the Vtuber that I drew this time, I want to tell you the reason why I didn't post about the artwork for more than 3 weeks. The reason is :
In the first week, I experienced Art Block when starting to sketch.
When this happened, I decided not to draw at all, and pursued my other hobby (reading manga).In the second week, when I started to get serious, my eyes got infected.
initially only on the left. But when it got better, my right eye was infected.In the third week, I can finally finish this Artwork.
Okay, let's move on to the main discussion. The tools and apps I use are still the same this time :
- Ibis Paint X
- Smartphone (Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A)
- 2 thumbs and index fingers of my hand (I don't use any help, like Stylus Pen. It's different if I have a Tablet, maybe I'll need it.)

I forgot to explain the characters I'm going to make this time, they are Murasaki Shion (HOLOLIVE) and Akuma Nihmune (Indie Vtuber)
Drawing Process
If in some of my previous Art posts, I always use GIFs to speed up the explanation of my drawing process. For this time, I will explain the process manually.
As usual, I draw a sketch first using an example of an existing pose. At the time of sketching, I haven't decided which Vtuber I will draw this time. I use my imagination to draw a character that fits this pose.
After I finished sketching, then I looked for a character that would match the sketch I had made. I usually use Vtuber from HOLOLIVE as material for my drawings, and this time, Murasaki Shion was chosen because it has bangs similar to the sketch I made. While the reason I chose Akuma Nihmune is because several times the videos always appear on my Youtube homepage (thank you, algorithm -kun). I was just for fun by trying to draw it and combining it with sketches, but when I uploaded WIP (Work in Progress) to my twitter account, the account got a lot of likes and got a direct reply from Akuma Nihmune.

Even though I use the same pose, I have edited certain parts several times so that it fits the description of the character according to the example.
