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: Dennis the Menace and Nasher from Beano, Melfina and Gene Starwind from Outlaw Star by Takehiko Ito , Ryoko and Tenchi from Tenchi Muyo/Universe by Hitoshi Okuda, Masaki Kajishima and Jason and Sheridan from Fruit Machine by Mimi-Evelyn

Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone I hope you've all had a great and marvellous week so far.  Today I'll be showing four fan arts. All of them were created as pencil sketches then modified and changed on Photoshop. Three of the fans art drawings took me under an hour to complete. Roughly around 45 to 60 mins. I might be working a lot quicker than usual. Three of them are in a snow theme. Mostly because I love snow. These drawings were also created during the week. I yearned to finish these images earlier than later because there are a few other posts that I would love to show on this blog. Which will be either around Christmas Day and during the new year. ^_^


The first Fan art is of Dennis the Menace which is part of a comic called Beano and published by DC Thompson. These comics were one of the first few that I've read back in my childhood years. I'm very very surprised that it is still going. It has touched many generation since it first began and it is still ongoing. The Beano annuals that are available. I can honestly say it feel weird reading these comics again after all these year. I'm not sure when I came out of it. Also in the Cartoon Museum there many Beano comics for visitors to read. There's also a past history section of Dennis the Menace and of other Beano comics in the museum too:

The  next fan art is of Gene Starwind and Melfina from the manga  Outlaw Star by Takehito Ito. The anime was created by Sunrise. I've only watched the anime and I thought that it was good. I first watched this within my mid-teens. There were a couple of favourite episodes that I like as well as other episodes that have made me very laugh. What you can see here is both of these characters walking in the snow:

This fan art is of Ryoko and Tenchi from the Tenchi Muyo/Universe series. As I've mentioned in a couple of other posts, the Tenchi anime series was what bought me into anime within my late childhood years. Here you'll see Ryoko chasing Tenchi who would really like a kiss from him. Tenchi avoids this by running away from her. LOOOL!:

The last fan art for today is of Jason and Sheridan from the web-comic Fruit Machine by Mimi -Evelyn. I read the web-comic in one day which was on Tuesday this week. It made me laugh a lot. So I thought I'd create a fan art for this series. I've met Mimi at the London Comic Con a couple of years ago. I bought some prints and postcards so I thought that it would be cool if I read her latest stuff. ^_^  As you can see here both of these characters are staring right back at the viewer. The question is what are they looking at? There is another picture that I'll be creating to go with this image. It will be post up on the 10th of January so stay tuned:

There will be more fan art next week, the next drawings will be based towards the new year. Thank you for visiting my blog and as always please leave a comment.
