Fan Art Friday: Hiei and Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho by Yoshihiro Togashi

Happy Fan Art Friday everyone! Today I will be showing you two drawings. Both of them were made using watercolour paints. Both of these characters were villains in the manga and anime but they both change within the series. Plus I will be reading volume 15 and I am very excited. (^_^)

The first drawing is of Hiei from Yu Yu Hakusho. He was certainly one of the villains that was quite shocking. Particularly since I read this series back in my teens. But I admit he is very interesting. This is due to the fact of his many reappearances in the series and what Botan and Koenma have to do to get him to help. It's quite hilarious. Plus he grows much stronger from his first appearance in the series.

I drew Hiei in a much more older form but I am quite happy with it. 

The second and final fan art for today is of Kurama who was also another villain of the series but just as interesting like Hiei. His background story as to how he became into his human form was quite nice too. He appearance in the anime and manga are both intriguing. I already like him as a character and he immediately became another favourite character that I really liked a lot.

I drew him here in his human form and just like the previous drawing I'm happy with it.

I really don't want to give an details of what happens in this series for I think that it would be great if you read the manga or watch the anime to find out. It really is great.

There will be more fan art next week. Thanks for visiting and please write a comment.

Fan Art Friday: Jiro and Nahoko from The Wind Rises directed by Hayao Miyazaki

Happy Fan Art Friday everyone! Today's drawing will be about Jiro and Nahoko from the Studio Ghibli movie 'The Wind Rises'. It was directed by Hayao Miyazaki. This was the final movie that Miyazaki created. He then retired from making animation.

I was quite saddened by the news that this was the last movie. So I made an extra effort to buy my copy of this movie. I first watched this movie in Japanese first and for the first in a long while, I can understand some of what the the characters are saying. I felt quite happy about this because I have been studying for quite a while now. A week later I decided to watch the English dub and I was very very VERY impressive. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Emily Blunt played these characters really well. Above all I found the movie to be really good and also great insight to the making of aeroplanes. 

Also the movie was at a pivotal point in time. It was during the the 1920's onwards.

When this movie was out in the cinemas in the UK, the art book of the movie was released. I managed find it in my local library and read only halfway. This was mainly because it revealed a lot of spoilers for me since I didn't watch the movie. Also there was a lot of the information about how the movie began as well as the background storyline. I was was quite intrigued by this as I was able to find out a lot more.

For this drawing, I made the main characters in watercolour paints and made some blue spirals in a green background.

Fan Art Friday: Inspired Picture Inspired by the song Fine by Kylie Minougue (Good Friday Special)

Happy April, Happy Good Friday and Happy Fan Art Friday. Today's drawing is inspired by a song by Kylie Minougue. The name of the song is called Fine.

The song is part of the album that she released last year. It is called  'Kiss Me Once'.  Not all the songs I liked on the album but the one was one of the few that I liked.

It has a great up beat tempo and I found myself dancing to this song a lot. Also this is one of the songs that I listened to more often when I draw.

For this drawing I drew a man dancing to the song with some of the lyrics in the background. Also I used the colour green because in most cases I use blue and this is something different.

There will be more fan art next week. Thanks for visiting and please write a comment.
