  • Pray for Your Happiness, in the Fall

    This is a grave visiting during the autumn equinoctial week. When you put your hands together and think of the dead, the departed would appear in the shape of fireflies.

  • At the Festival

    Black goldfishes that flourished during the summer fesival are swimming away.
    The transition from summer to fall feels somewhat lonely.

    Illustration Creation Process

    1. I go through the line drawing with ink, then import it with a scanner. I use Photoshop.
    2. I decide on the overall image and colors in broad terms. For background material and texture I process a photo I took myself.
    3. I divide the colors for each part and add the shadows in multiple layers.
    4. I adjust the expressions in their eyes and the fine gradation by adding colors.
    5. Done. As for the stamp signature, I made it myself from a piece of rubber. I import it with a scanner.

    About Drawing

    I used the grave-visiting illustration to demonstrate the creation process. I want to express the feelings and sceneries that casually remain in my heart in my illustrations. I like traveling, I often go abroad as well. Seeing sceneries different from those in Japan and feeling something different from usual are essential to drawing illustrations. I want to continue drawing various illustrations. Thank you for being interested.
    I hope we will meet again.
