Fan Art Friday: Yusuke and Keiko from Yu Yu Hakusho by Yoshihiro Togashi and Kenshin and Yahiko from Rurouni Kenshin by Nobuhiro Watsuki

Happy Fan Art Friday everyone! Today's drawings are about two manga. I have read them both when I was 17. I'm still reading them today. These drawings were created using watercolour paints and 0.9 red mechanical pen.

The first drawing is of Keiko and Yusuke from the manga Yu Yu Hakusho. I really like this manga a lot.   It tells the story of Yusuke and also Keiko who is his old school friend but very soon will be his love interest. There is some rivalry in this manga too but it is portrayed in a very humorous way. Yusuke's rival is a guy called Kuwubara. There is also a anime of the series and it is just as good as the manga. I'll be reading volume 14 of this series very soon.
In this drawing, I drew both Yusuke and Keiko in mid air.

The second and final fan art for today is of Kenshin and Yahiko from the manga Rurouni Kenshin. It's probably one of the most awesome manga that I have seen and I'm very pleased to have read it. Kenshin is seen wandering the streets of Japan in the Meiji restoration period. At some point he meets a girl called Kaoru. Much later he meets Yahiko who is becomes a student at a dojo that Kaoru teaches. I drew both of these characters because I felt that Yahiko was someone who had looked up to Kenshin. Kenshin is a bit of a father figure to him. There's a lot of action and romance in this manga and I'm very impressed with the anime too. I watched the anime up to a certain point as there were some episodes that were not part of the manga. I wasn't quite satisfied with this at all. I'm currently on volume 19 of the manga and I'm really looking forward to reading it. This drawing, I wanted to them to stand with their back against each of other with the awareness knowing that both of them are near.

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

Fan Art Friday: Ponyo, Kiki form Kiki's Delivery Service and Chihiro from Spriited Away written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki, Kaoru from Rurouni Kenshin by Nobuhiro Watsuki and Subaru and Hokuto from Tokyo Babylon by CLAMP

Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone! Today I'll be showing you three fan arts. All of these fan arts are all in colouring pencils also I thought that it would be interesting to show these characters in child-form.

The first one is of Kiki from Kiki's Delivery Service, Ponyo and Chihiro from Spirited Away.  All of them were written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki.  The first one I saw was Spirited Away. The DVD was a birthday gift from a very good friend of mine. It's probably movie that I haven't gotten tired of. The music is brilliant too. Kiki's Delivery Serivce was another movie that I really enjoyed too. This movie made me smile and it made me wonder what if a postman or post-lady used a alternative vehicle which is smiliar to Kiki's one to deliver the post? I think that would be interesting. I have yet to see Ponyo but I will definitely watch it.:

The next fan art is of Kaoru from the anime and manga Rurouni Kenshin by Nobuhiro Watsuki. I first came across this series when I was either 17 or 18. It was another manga that I found at my local library and I loved and adored the story. I was fascinated of the concept of how it was set during the past of Japan. In this case it was the Meiji Period. Kaoru is a teacher of a kendo school and she and her family have a long history of a particular Kendo technique that can be only taught. At some point she bumps into Kenshin. I can't say what happens you'll have to read the manga to find out. The anime was impressive too. I watched most of the episodes up to a certain point. This was due to the fact that some of the plot was not corresponding to the manga. Back then I had read so much of this series as a manha that I assumed that it would be the same thing in the anime. Today, I realise that maybe this was done because at the time when the anime was released the manga was still being released. I got roughly a couple of volumes to finish the manga. I'm on the last arc of the series and I'm loving it so far:

The third and final art for today is of Subaru and Hokuto from the manga Tokyo Babylon by CLAMP. Both of them are twins. This was another manga that I found at my library. I was in university when I read this series and It's a favourite of mine. It left me with a lasting impression on how I viewed one of the characters of the story. Although it has been a while since I've read this series I remember the plot very well. This manga made me admire CLAMP a whole lot more. In the manga both of these characters are teenagers. Plus the purple thing that I made in the background was something that I created out of my head. Looking at this drawing I've realised that it could be a hint of  a foreshadow. In the story. PLEASE read this manga. It's really great. :) :

There will be more fan art next week. Thank you for visiting my blog and please leave a comment. Enjoy your weekend everyone! ;)
