I think combining liquid masking and masking tape can improve work efficiency

Since I received a question on Patreon, I thought I’d write about liquid masking.

There are already many articles comparing different masking liquids or describing actual usage. I think many people already know about the basic types—rubber-based and vinyl-based—and their properties. So the real question is, how should you actually use them differently? That’s what people want to know. In this article, I’ll cover:

• Sp...

[For Beginners] A Guide for Anyone Who Wants to Start Garage Kits

The other day, I asked a question like this in my YouTube community, and I got quite a few comments.

The types of people who replied could generally be grouped like this:

• People who are interested but haven’t taken the plunge yet (questions were more abstract)

• People who are clearly already doing it (questions were very specific)

My intention was to ask: “For people who are interested in st...

[ZB Learning Blog] Practicing the Basics of Gizmo and ZModeler

Continuing from my recent ZB practice session.

This is purely a practice blog, so it might only be interesting to people who are curious or at about the same beginner level as me.

I’m planning to keep writing these as a way to make notes for myself and help the lessons stick.

It’s actually fun struggling through and filling in the gaps where there’s no explanation!

I’m still practicing modeling while rewatching Takatori-san’s course videos.

I managed to get past the ribbon flash issue from the other ...

[ZB Learning Blog] A person who found ZBrush so fun they gave up on touching their Switch 2

While I had some fairly heavy work to get through, my Switch 2 arrived — and I completely ignored it, because ZBrush is just too much fun right now.

In a previous post, I wrote about finishing one Coloso course all the way through.

Now I’ve taken another course. This one is more on the beginner side, teaching everything from the basic operations. I also watched this one all the w...

A Small Change to My Work Desk Setup

I made a small change to my work desk setup, so I’d like to introduce it.

I’m literally in the middle of working right now, but the sanding work just never seems to end. My routine was temporarily disrupted, but I managed to get back on track in about three days, so I’ve been continuing as usual.

Since my workspace is still cramped and difficult to use, I regularly clean, tidy up, and review the placement of my tools. Items that I ...

How to Learn Without Just Watching a Sculpting Course

The days when a painter only painted are long gone.

Now, painters also dabble in sculpting, and conversely, sculptors often paint as well.

If you only do one part of the process without understanding the full workflow, your work risks becoming self-indulgent. But often, there’s no one around to teach you sculpting. You might find specific tutorials on YouTube, but rarely will you find videos that cover the entire process.

That’s exactly why I became convinced that Coloso’s video courses are incredibly useful ...

Cutting down the time you spend on social media really boosts your ability to focus on work…

I’m not even going to post this on X!

Since around June, I’ve been trying to spend as little time as possible on social media, and honestly—it’s been better than I imagined.

This isn’t exactly about model building, but I feel like it’s pretty important for anyone who needs to work with deep concentration, so I’ll just share my scattered thoughts.

If you stop checking social media, you can finish most tasks much faster

I think a lot of people, when they open their PC, unconsciously check X right away—...

Kafka WIP3 (Eye Painting to Completion)

In my previous post, I talked about how important key colors (main colors) are. Since then, I’ve realized something:

I often rely more on intuition and experience than theory when working.

Sure, there's merit in thinking "As long as the result looks good, who cares how it got there?" But it becomes hard to explain to others exactly how to get there.

What counts as a key color might vary from person to pe...

Kafka WIP 2 – Progress Update and blog (about WF)

This is Kafka WIP 2.

Since this is a blog-style post, I might write about totally unrelated things too, but I hope you enjoy it all the same.

Speaking of which… I went to WF the other day

I was really torn about whether to bring my camera this time, but in the end, I decided not to.

About WF (Just personal thoughts)

At the “Tonamo” event back in June, I tried taking photos with my phone and… yeah, it real...

Kafka WIP1 + A Blog by Someone Who Wants to Efficiently Study the Coloso Course

Now that it’s August, I’ve finished Kafka, so I’m going to write about it in blog format, just like I did with Bunny Toki recently.

For build logs, it’s usually better to write everything in one go, but for other topics, a blog format might be easier to follow.

┃Sculpting courses are amazing (vocabulary: zero)

So, recently I’ve been watching sculpting videos on Coloso—right after I wa...

[Making process] Fujiyama sankaku's Blue Archive Professor Niyaniya process and tips 2

This is a continuation of the previous article on creating the Smirking Professor.

This time, the focus is mainly on painting.

• Thoughts on costume coloring

• The approach to eye painting (why it's important to do it quickly instead of overthinking)

• Thoughts and examples on packaging methods

I wrote about these topics here.

A discussion on how people doing hands-on work can fundamentally boost their quality of life.

In my previous post, I looked at YouTube data to explore the reasons behind the drop in views and shared some thoughts on possible countermeasures.

Here, I'd like to dive further into testing—specifically thumbnail testing.

To start, I revisited the core appeal of creative work.
In short, when we fully immerse ourselves in making things, we experience a strong sense of fulfillment—our quality of life skyrockets!
