◆ 2019 April GIGAZINE Manga Award Top Art Illustration
A top drawing illustration of April 2019 was given by nghr . It is a piece that delivers the joy of spring warmly, with the glamorous effect of the bright and full bloom. In the changing season, we send bouquets with happiness prayers as a welcome for those who travel to the new world or as a welcome visit to GIGAZINE Manga.

We received a comment from nghr .

Nice to meet you, my name is nghr.
Thank you for adopting this as the top image of the GIGAZINE Manga Award.
I usually draw illustrations for creative and girl animation. I want to express the girl's light atmosphere and transparency from the lines and colors.

The following is the making of illustration.

nghr 'I thought that the illustration of April period, let's try to make it an illustration that makes the pink tones and petals have a glamorous feel. The image of' Angel x ribbon and frill 'has three different drafts of different composition I made them, using decorative motifs to make sure that they are conscious of compositions and colors that fit in a sense.

In the draft A, a girl with angel wings carries a cane like a magical girl.

A rough B plan in which a gorgeous bouquet and blue little birds predict happiness. Even though all the plans were gorgeous and the bright coloration was wonderful, I felt that the show was particularly spectacular, so I was able to draw this one until it was completed.

The rough C draft was drawn with two characters. You can feel the strange atmosphere that you have lost in the heavens.

nghr “We will clean up the rough draft that has been adopted. It is a lot of information and detailed work, but it will be painted relatively carefully, so we will draw it in a relatively simple manner. I will decide roughly in the area '

nghr “We will adjust the color after the line drawing and painting are done. I thought that I wanted the warmth on the screen, so I used the color correction layer to put the whole a little creamy color.”

nghr 'I'm finished with the details and background paint'
