Fan Art Friday: Arale from Dr.Slump by Akira Toriyama, Sheridan and Jason from Fruit Machine by Mimi-Evelyn, Botan from Yu Yu Hakusho by Yoshiro Togashi and Kanjiyama Mime from Nihongo Quick Lesson by NHK

Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone! I hope you're all having a brilliant week and a brilliant month. As this is the last day of January. I thought I'd show you four fan arts. All of these fan arts were pencil sketches and then colour was added on Photoshop.

The first fan art if of Arale from the manga Dr.Slump by Akira Toriyama. I started reading the first volume this week and it left me laughing a lot. This comic was first published in Japan in 1980, Then published in English in the mid 2000's. I've drawn Arale slightly older but she still looks quite nice. I'm quite impressed of it:

The next fan art is of Jason and Sheridan from the comic Fruit Machine by Mimi-Evelyn. I decided to draw as astronauts. This is the drawing that would have been showed on January 10. This is the second fan art that is based on the christmas drawing that I created in December. I am impressed with what I've done, but I find it quite surprising that I tackled a science theme:

The next fan art is of Botan from Yu Yu Hakusho by Yoshihiro Togashi. I remember reading this series back in 2007. The series is brilliant and I have a lot of compassion from the main character Yusuke and some of his friends. He goes through a lot of challenges but still shows himself strong. I've already read volume 12, and I'll be hoping to read the next volume so soon. I might even draw my favourite character from the manga soon. I've also watched the anime which is really good. The English dub is really good and I have yet to watch the original:

The fourth and final fan art for today is of Kanjiyama Mime from a segment called 'Feel it, Grab it' in a programme called Nihongo Quick Lesson by NHK. I watched this series back in 2009 on NHK World  I really miss watching this show because when I began studying Japanese, I always watched the show to gather a much more understanding of the language. Kanjiyama Mime, mimes words and says it in Japanese. He does this really well and I'm always impressed and amazed. I salute NHK for creating this series because it proved to make much help when studying. I've drawn him from memory. So it could be slightly wrong:

The will be more fan art next week. Thank you for visiting my blog and please leave a comment. Enjoy your weekend.

Fan Art Friday: Arale from Dr.Slump, Sanji from One Piece, Who You Were by OperaSinger96, and Dragon Heir by Emma Vieceli

Happy Friday everyone, here is another batch of fan art that I will be sharing with you. Three of the fan arts were created using Watercolour Paints with coloured pencils and a 2B pencil. The fourth one was created using pencil, ink, with screentones and text from Photoshop CS3.


The first fan art is of Arale who is from the manga Dr.Slump by Akira Toriyama. She makes a cameo appearance in the manga Dragonball.  Alongside her, Dr.Slump is present as well as other characters too. I was reading Dragonball this week and I marvel at how she managed things. I will not reveal which volume she's in but she seems to be a very very interesting character. The outcome of this fan art is pretty cool.

Next, is of Sanji from the manga and anime One Piece by Eiichiro Oda. Sanji is my favourite character. I love his for his adventurous character as well as his fight moves. (His incredible high kicks) Most of all it is because of the fact that he's a cook. I was turned on about this. I wasn't that keen on how his voice was like in the English dub, but when I began to watch the series again the Japanese, my love for this character came back and I adored his voice. As a result of this I felt that it was necessary to draw him. I seemed to have done OK, I think I shall continue to try and draw more male characters in the future. \ (^o^) /:

The third fan art, is based on a poem called 'Who You Were' by Deviantart member OperaSinger96. I was quite fascinated by this poem so I felt the need to draw some fan art. The author also created stories other and poetry and she a singer too. I'm quite surprised of how this fan art has turned out. By looking at it with fresh eyes I can see how the water colours blend really well. I even you a light brown coloured pencil to sketch out the scenes:

Lastly, this fan art is of the manga Dragon Heir by Emma Vieceli. I read comic a couple of years back and during the month of May this year, I bought the volume. It was brilliant to meeting her in person and I think she is a wonderful person. Here are the main characters in a little fued over food. I thought of this concept during the late hours of the night after completing some uni art work. My brain could not go to sleep and all I kept thinking about was of small story plots. Since my favourite character of the manga was Lyntra, I thought this would be interesting to convey him in this way. Just in case you cannot see the fan art properly here, have a look at it in this link:

More fan art next week!
Have a great week and month!
