Ai Yazawa Retrospective
SATURDAY
10:30:00 PM
Length in minutes: 60
Panel 107Ai Yazawa is a veteran shojo manga artist that made a lot of work over 25 years. If you read all her work, you see ideas she formed later or character studies that didn’t come to fruition until other works. You see the things that influenced her. We are going to read too much into the work of Ai Yazawa.
Some sketches from a few months ago. I need to finish the top one.
Bill Gardner has come out with his much anticipated annual logo trends for the year. Definitely saw a lot of these. Some great designs.
Late night sketches. Trying a new style again.

Colors. COLORS! CoLOrs colors COlorS coLOR coloRS!*
*Translation note: Miss likes how you colored this. She suggest you do a tutorial sometime. The lighting effects really impressed her.
Just gorgeous. ^_^
I found this nice tutorial/anatomy advice spread created by meghanhetrickof deviant art.
She gave me permission to post it up here to share so go make sure to visit her and look at her other creations of goodness!
YES!!!
A sketch that sums up how I feel in extremes. I’m actually in the awesome extreme, but I can slip anytime to depression. I’m not smart enough to make awesome things that explain how depression works like Depression Comix or Hyperbole and a Half, but this is how it feels to me and I can only explain that.
For those not familiarized with the term: Memento? Homestuck? 500 Days of Summer?
- Nonlinear Storytelling: what it is, examples in film, literature, and videogames. Pretty much the basics and probably what you already know.
