◆ November 2018 GIGAZINE Manga Awards Top Illustration
I received the top picture illustration of November 2018 by Marukicho- san. It is a piece that I misunderstood at the moment when I shoot at the moment that a model is photographed by a name photographer. The whole atmosphere that autumnish coloring brings forth is just lovely.



I got a comment from Marukicho .

Nice to meet you.
Thank you for drawing the top picture of the GIGAZINE Manga Awards this time!
I usually draw illustrations with my hobbies, but I also thought that I would like to expand the scope of activities, so it was a good experience.
I like to draw glittering eyes of girls, so I'm glad if you look at it there (^ ^) /


Below is the making of illustration.

Rough draft 1. Marukocho "In November, I tried to make a girl to read with autumn leaves as background, I wanted to express a sense of excitement that the eyes met suddenly, thinking that I concentrated on books."



Cruising rough idea of ​​autumn and animals like animals 2. Marukocho "I am a girl who plays with books while playing with the animals in the forest, because I like round glasses and beret, I really wanted to put this element in."



I adopted the composition of a wonderful impression like the cover of a fashion magazine adopted. Marukocho "In the rough stage I arranged a girl in the center, but I adjusted it to the right thinking about the margin balance"



Marukocho "I am a line drawing, so I adopted a rough idea of ​​up, so I focused my attention more carefully than usual"



Maruko "We color-code, deciding the color scheme of clothes and books while considering the balance of the whole.Glen check uses tone."



Marukocho "I am painting (I added a mouth here.) Because I am advancing in parts, I will paint from a fun place and raise motif.The paint of texture such as hair luster and thickness of clothes etc. I think that it would be nice to be conscious of the division! Shadow by multiplication → Apply with brush → Highlight in order "




Marukicho "Add autumn leaves & add an overall shadow, which is impossible in reality, but because it is the part I want to show the shininess of the eyes, I will not drop the shadow, because the girl is the leading character, the autumn leaves are blurred."



Marukocho "I will do it." Since it was a barely finished atmosphere at the previous stage, I tried to make the contrast effective.I added light at the addition layer and it was completed when I touched the color balance! Thank you for seeing it to the end It was. "
