Fan Art Friday: Mio from Bara nai No Hanaya and Osen

Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone! Today I'll be showing you two fan arts. Both of these were pencil sketches and then modified on Photoshop.


The first fan art is of Mio from Bara no Nai Hanaya. She is one of the main characters of the story and she is one of the characters that is blind in this series. As I've mentioned in my last post I've come to love and adore the series. It's one of my favourites. She gives the florist Eiji the nickname 'O-Hanaya-San'. The love that she has for him unfolds and grows at some point. I highly recommend you to watch this Japanese Drama. It's really really awesome. As a follow up to the last character that that I drew which was Shizuku, the background for Mio also has flowers. I chose a brown and peach colour theme because she seemed to be wearing a lot of these colours. I won't reveal her occupation in the drama. You'll have to watch it to find out:

The second and final fan art for today is of the main character Osen from the self-titled Japanese drama Osen. It's another brilliant series and it was another great drama that I've watched. I adored the theme song in each episode and also the plot that took place in the series. She is the boss of an authentic Japanese resturant. The previous owner who was her mother passed the trade to her and she now owns it. Alongside Osen, other characters are introduced. Most of them are the cooks who are assigned different roles of the restaurant. She is seen here with her hair out in the open.:

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

Fan Art Friday: Shizuku from Bara Nai No Hanaya, Sailor V and Luffy from One Piece! (^_^)

Happy August and Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone! Today I will be showing three fan arts. Two of them are a both an anime and a manga the other is a Japanese drama. The materials used were pencil and water-colour paints. I intend on using these materials because these are one of the materials that I would like to improve on.

The first fan art is of the manga  Codename: Sailor V who is also known as Sailor Venus in the manga Sailor Moon. It's by the same author of the Sailor Moon Series. I drew this as a response to the Usagi and Mamoru-chan and Artemis and Luna fan art that I created. Currently I'm reading the manga and I find it very very funny. There were times when I laughed hysterically on buses and also on the tube thanks to this manga. The water-colours turned out to become amazingly brilliant when I completed it \(^_~)/ :

Next is the anime and manga series One Piece. I started watching this anime during my late-teens, but stopped watching it at some point. In March, when I was working at my stewarding job. I was talking with a work colleuge of mine who was an Otaku. She convinced my to watch the anime and ultimately I gave in and watched it after work. I continued watching the anime from where I stopped and realized what I was missing out on. The next day, I spoke to her and I couldn't keep my mouth shut about it. She felt that her mission was complete after spending the previous day convincing me to watch. It was thanks to her that I'm now a fan and it is now added to my list of favourites. I've drawn the main protagonist Monkey D. Luffy:

The final fan art for today is of a Japanese Drama that I watched back in 2009. It is called 'Bara No Nai Hanaya' which translates to 'A Florist Shop with no Roses' It tells the story about a man called Eiji and his florist shop. This was the second Japanese Drama that I watched and I absolutely LOVED it. \(^0^)/ I loved it so much that I kept watching the episodes over and over. I would love to by the series on DVD. The girl in the drawing is Shizuku. She plays a very significant role in the series and is really awesome. There are flowers in the background which I chose to use to convey what I tried to express. In fact there are a lot of characters that I really like in this:
