◆ December 2018 GIGAZINE Manga Awards Top Illustration
Natsuki san told me the illustration of the top picture in December, 2018. Voice of unexpected admiration leaks into one piece that is cut out dazzlingly beautifully. It is an illustration that I like to carefully enjoy the fine background and fashionable and cute costumes.



Ms. Natsuki got a comment.

Nice to meet you, Natsuki. I'm very happy to have shown the top illustration of the GIGAZINE Manga Award.
It was because it was painting freely and there was no problem, so I drew it out freely.
I am glad if you can enjoy the atmosphere and the atmosphere of the cold air.


Below is the making of illustration.

Natsuki "I will think about what to write first with letters and stickers.When I think that I want to clarify what I want to draw by outputting, I always cut off the rough after putting this work in. The images I want to draw match I draw as many sheets as possible, but this time it ended with this one piece. "



Natsuki "I will solidify the image more based on the image diagram and make a rough.When I can allow it for a long time here I will form more clearly what I want to draw.When I am in the image chart the stars I was planning to look at the image, but I set it early in the morning to express the clear air in winter morning. "



Natsuki "I will make line drawings from undergrowth.Layers are strongly fixed so that some modifications will be made.It will keep strength to some extent.When I always make a line drawing it will be far from the original picture so believe more about the underlying picture I always think that I have to put a pen in. I often put more lines such as hair and clothes wrinkles because I feel that the more lines of hair give me the texture.If it is unnecessary after painting the color It will erase and change the color of the line and get it familiar. "



Natsuki "I will paint while rubbing the image with putting the color rough beside. I like to paint the skin and clothes, so I think that there are few failures if you look at the whole around the center and paint it around it. If there is any, I will erase the line drawing, rewrite it, add it, and finish looking for the part I'm comfortable with. I adjusted the color appropriately to my liking, so the color tone became far away from the color rough. "
