Quick fanart scribble of an all-time favourite drama/movie series – Nodame Cantabile <3

A daydreaming Nodame is cute as a button; and full of love!

Now that the story has come to an end with the two-part movie finale, we’ll continue to spread the love for classical music and the endless fun and inspiration from the quirky duo alike. I definitely hope to see this golden on-screen couple, Ueno Juri x Tamaki Hiroshi, work together again in future.

Digital illustrations, 6 hours on Photoshop.

Based on a scene of a fairytale-remixed-into-fanfiction by *someone* currently in the works. ^^
Coloured in greyscale as a practice for shadow and lighting (although it felt more like trial and error), and failing pretty badly as you can see. I was attempting to steer away from total realism when using photo references, but it’s not easy because I don’t draw manga.. or rather I can’t. More details on this project later, maybe.

#1 was supposed to be set in the forest during the night; the tilt of the moonlight spilling on the lone horse-rider as he seems to have discovered something.

#2 Hello.. stranger.

Since I haven’t posted any illustration artwork in a while, I’ll offer you a visual treat of Ohchan <3 referenced from Wink Up May 2010 photoshoot.

Remember the book cover of Rental Children? This was painted with that style in mind. Oh also, I’m surprised I sped up in my digital painting, which would normally span for days and weeks, and end up under piles of mushrooms in the folder. In case you’re wondering, this took me 5 hours on Photoshop with a tablet. (cause I couldn’t sleep the whole night after overeating for supper at the airport with the girls >_< )

Note: Respect my art, do not make changes or use it for other purposes. Comments appreciated!

( ほら、ばれちゃったよ! )

A couple of selected sketches out of the whole lot that I did while cracking up at the video. Sketched in black ink on paper, coloured in Photoshop – I had to force myself to stay away from the Smooth Round brushes :< Colour scheme was referenced from arnistotle @ DA. Comments are greatly appreciated! <3

( So, what about the Yama Hentai Bar? )
