November 2019 GIGAZINE Manga Award Top Illustration
The top drawing illustration for November 2019 was given by Kichiko Ina . The exciting image of jumping into the story world is impressive.
We received a comment from Ina Kichiko !
My name is Kichiko Ina and I was in charge of the illustrations for November.
I usually work on character designs and illustrations for games.
This time, draw your favorite fantasy world on the theme of your favorite comics
It was a lot of fun!
Below is the illustration making.
Ina Kichiko “I wanted to express the immersive feeling that is the attraction of manga, so when I was reading manga, I chose the theme of a girl who had entered the world of manga. I wanted to make something that doesn't exist in the real world, such as dragon, magic ... On the contrary, the visual of the girl was set so that it was as rough as when reading manga in my room. '
Rough after correction. The theme has become more “drawn” to make the theme easier to understand, and the distance between the two and the details of the limbs have been adjusted.
Ina Kichiko “There are times when I don't draw line art when I paint thickly, but this time I wanted to give a comic-like feel, so I drew a solid line art. The brushes are a little rough and have an analog feel. '
Kinako Ina “Roughly paint the colors and roughly add a standard shadow to the whole. We will apply the brush on the undercoated layer by multiplication.”
Ina Kichiko “I will write more shadows and light. I used my own photo texture for the clouds and dragons in the distance. I will also draw effects and add the light received from them. I am conscious of brush strokes with an oil painting brush, etc. I make a rhythm appear on the screen by glaring away a distant dragon or clarifying light and darkness with an overlay etc. I draw a line drawing before the process I used to paint on the line drawing and adjust it. ”
Kinako Ina “Further effects and color adjustments are complete”
