Another old stuff I found in the attic

ロンドンにいたときに試作したものです。

今まですっかり忘れていたけれど、

偶然、屋根裏部屋でみつけました。

作っていたときはとっても楽しかったな〜。

This is what I made as a research for the final project when I was in London.

I accidentally found it in the attic today 

and all the fun memories from old days came back to me :)

Almost end of 2013

Recently I did lots of drawings of cat :D

In these 2 quick images a cat is dreaming of winter/spring in a warm room.

Can you tell which is which?

I have developed this dreaming cat for a competition so hopefully I will upload the final drawing here soon.

Coming to the end of year...

I'm looking back 2013 and there were so many things happened(good or not... 

well, I'm happy to say mostly good things!)

There were lots of good-byes... but also nice meetings with new people :)) 

I have come back to Japan, and reached to the turning point of my life.

What was your 2013 like?

second project of this year

They are my first experiment for the second project in uni. I have been asked to choose one of those mysterious creatures and make an image of it. I decided to pick the Kelpie, water horse in celtic myth. To show its mysterious characteristic, I am thinking of making cutout and shadow play.  This is my first time to try shadow play, and I am having fun! The only problem is how I should tell the audience the texture of water by using paper and shadow....

More drawing for Opening Bank Account

This time I added more personal taste of mine, which is stencil. I enjoyed creating the pattern and adding the texture on fish.

open your bank account in UK

I started a new project for Commonplace, a student survival guide to University of the Arts London.

The given topic is how to open a bank account in UK. It is always tricky to create an account, especially for international students. I know it because I had same experience when I came to London... 

To make the information simpler and clearer, I am supposed to use simple words and illustration to support the explanation. I am thinking of using a treasure box and a key to open it, and maybe some dangerous animals for some info which you need be very careful about.

still under experiments

Because my tutor told me that my line gets weak when it comes to draw people... I went back to the start point and am drawing characters in the films. The top image is just another experiment with same composition as the other images I posted last time, but this time it looks really boring... It made me feel pretty sure that I should carry the story for final outcome by using characters. I am learning from failure :D
