The difference between creation and work and life.

The two images below are a draft and a completed image of a four-frame manga posted on this blog in the past. Arranging them in this way gives the impression that the draft of the illustration is just colored, but my mental state at the draft stage, which is not yet completed, is still vague and unconfident, and it is a very fluffy feeling... 😔

completed work

However, if the viewer is different, who may feel that the outline of the illustration has already been decided in the illustration at the draft stage. If you think calmly here, it seems that my illustration can already express the world view at the draft stage. Making a line drawing from a draft and painting it may be a simple task in a sense.

That's right. The process of creating this draft image into a finished image is actually a simple task. However, drawing a draft from a completely blank sheet of paper is not a simple task, and it can be said that it is a creation. A manga draft is a storyboard in a movie. Probably the most difficult thing to do in manga production is to draw a draft on a blank sheet of paper. That's because zero became one. In other words, creating value from nothing.

You can also think of the draft as a starting point. By further modifying the rough idea, you can gradually get closer to the finished product. On the other hand, even if you can draw a good draft, it is a pity if you can not reach the goal (completion).

After all, manga production is the same as life. Even if you're not confident and lonely at the draft stage, you can be sure that it will be completed if you continue to work hard. 😉

Thank you for reading. 🐈

Mr. Cat finds a cave.

The Southern Island is always peaceful. The blue sea and the clear green sea are spreading over. But, today's situation is different from usual. It seems that he found something in the back of green bushes. Apparently it seems he found a cave. He imagined. The treasures of the ancient civilization is sleeping in the cave in the Southern Island. He got ready for the cave survey quickly. Captain Cat looked for treasures in the cave. And he found something moving behind the dark cave. So he was excited. Oh! Is it really treasures left by the ancient civilization? What was discovered in the cave was a big snake. He escaped from the cave hurriedly. Sorry cat... There was not a cave where ancient treasures asleep but it was a snake house. Hi, thanks for reading. I hope you like it :)

A result of one day's creation.

It is an A5 size paper, and the painting material is an analog illustration of Copic and transparent watercolor hybrid. Since the sketches are created digitally, I think the total production time will take 6 hours. I thought that I had to improve work efficiency so that the illustrations in this style were sketched and could be drawn in at least 4 hours. Thank you very much. 🐈
