Nadeshiko

First time I wanna ask you is "d'you notice SEIBU Department store's logo on the sleeves of this geisha?"

Well, I made this picture for my illustration class. I had to make mascot from any company. Then, I chose SEIBU Department store. This mascot represent the characteristic of SEIBU; elegance and luxurious. I used red and gold colors because those are colors of SEIBU Department store. I used color markers for the coloring; I think it's pretty good ^^

Geisha

I love Japan. I really want to visit Japan, but after Venice, of course, HA-HA. I love the tradition, the fabric of kimono, patterns, events, everything traditional, everything modern, I love JAPAN. This is a picture of two geishas with their daily yukata. The hand sleeves are full of patterns. I made this picture using color markers.

For me, geisha is a symbol of beautiful Japan. Oh, I wonder when I can fly to Japan.

Character Styles

I was trying to find out how to make many kinds of character style; realist, semi-realist, manga style, and chibi style. I found it was a little bit hard to find the specific differences. I am still trying to find the easiest way. I tried to make differences on hair, eyes, shading, and strokes. So, what d'you think?

Looking for The Way Out

I'd love to make a sketch of woman's body. I was down and feeling a little bit boring when I made this. This is the expression of my feeling..Looking for the way out; I felt I was trapped and couldn't do anything. All I had were a pack of pencils and a sketch book.

A Village in a Wood

This is really a fantasy for me. I wish there was a village like this, with a simple fountain in the center. There would gonna be a lot of laundry hanging from windows. It must be wonderful.

Beauty and The Beast

This is an artwork I made in my spare time. I used 2B pencil. This is the first time I made sketch of wolf. I had to look around the library only to get a tutorial of how to make wolf. HA-HA! I made the princess wear ballet shoes; I really love ballet. Well, I can't do ballet, but I'd love to! ( But it's impossible, isn't it?)

Untitled

I don't know what to say about this artwork. Technically, I used pencils. Maybe this is just an expression of my loneliness because I made this while waiting my boyfriend to come back from work.
