About

I'm Reunilu, nickname Reu, Nagi, or Shaymin, depending on who you ask. I'm an illustrator and general art nerd from the US with a condition known as primary hyperhidrosis. Sometimes I tutor illustration to others.When I'm not drawing, I savage raid on FFXIV, talk about kpop (mostly Kep1er and SNSD), and in general play lots of video games. Some of my favorites at the moment are Persona 3 Reload and the Blasphemous games.

FAQ

How long have you been drawing?I started drawing in July 2016, when I got my first drawing tablet.I think contrary to what a lot of artists do, I started drawing relatively late in my life, more specifically when I was nearly an adult. I mean, like I've always liked art and I did doodle for as long as I could remember, but I didn't know how to start until then.What tablet do you use?I use a Huion HS610 when I'm drawing on PC and an iPad Air 11 in. (2024) with an Apple Pencil Pro.What program do you use?I use Clip Studio Paint on PC and Procreate on iPad. To collect my references, I use pureref.What brushes do you use?For most of my sketching and linework, I use a basic hard round brush, with the opacity turned down to ~80% on both CSP and Procreate. The opacity is turned down because whenever I'm sketching, I find that it helps to be able to see any sketchwork underneath the paint, and it eliminates any fear of messing up.When I'm coloring, I use a custom brush that's supposed to imitate some default brushes in Paint Tool SAI, but otherwise looks like a hard round if I'm using it for sketching. I don't particularly find any need to gatekeep it, so have at it.
