◆ Top drawing illustration of the GIGAZINE Manga Award in April 2020
The top illustrations for April 2020 were provided by Nosuku . A cute and sexy chemo ear beauty that spreads into a world you haven't seen yet.

The following is the making of the illustration.

Nosuku 'First of all, cut the rough lightly. The image of a fox girl flying over a fantasy Buddhist temple. There was no specification other than putting the whole body on the screen, so I went with my favorite animal ear system The fox daughter usually has a tail, but there is no tail because it is drawn on the assumption that it is a sky fox (the highest form of a fox without a tail). Image of tail with

Noku 'I will add colors to solidify the overall image. I have proposed a basic shrine maiden color and a black version with a contrast with the background. Adopted white as a result of examination'

Noku 'I will draw a line drawing of a character. I prefer a line with a little shading over a clear line, so I will draw a line drawing with a brush brush.'

Noku 'I put color only on the character and almost finish it first. I thought that the skirt was a little too short, but I do not mind. It is surely a racial characteristic or something.'

Noku 'I will roughly copy the background. I will blur later, so I will not draw it in detail. I will draw an artifact first ...'

Nosuku 'Fill the margins with a sea of clouds?'

Noku 'I will check the drawing and check it, adjust the position by looking at the salt and plum, and blur the background. The torii changes the amount of blur depending on the distance and gives a perspective.'

Noku 'I will review the part where I received the FB, make corrections and it is complete'
