Tapestries
Description: I drew this character with a Japanese-style outfit (inspired by a Miko's attire) combined with clown makeup, shoes, and more. The background is based on the traditional Seigaiha pattern, with a light green tint. Interestingly, when I later researched this Japanese pattern, it seemed to have connections to Gagaku and traditional costumes. It's quite a coincidence!
Description: I began by focusing on drawing the profile of a woman and then randomly creating patterns as the process unfolded. This approach allows me to make quick decisions about what fits or doesn't without overthinking, and I often use it when I feel stuck. This time, it resulted in a stained glass-like composition.
Description: I attempted to capture a moment when a girl strikes a charming pose. I paid particular attention to details like the jeans, hoodie, and the way I drew her hair. I actually struck this pose myself, took a photo for reference, and, I must admit, I've had the urge to smash my iPhone every time I look at it. 😄

Description: I was inspired to revisit a sketch that I had done in a style reminiscent of ethnic attire back in my college days. The time spent contemplating line control and finding the right brushwork was incredibly enjoyable. During those days, I solely used pencils. I grappled with choosing a title, but ultimately, the word "Blessing"(SHUKUFUKU) felt perfectly fitting due to its resonant Japanese sound.
