My ballpoint pen is writing really well today. I wonder if it has something to do with the humidity? #Illustration #CommentPls #RTpls

Well, today I'll be working on art all day long. #Illustration #LineArt #CommentPls

Let's go hunting together every once in a while. And let's savor the victory together. #Illustration #CommentPls #RTpls

This week's work is done. Now it's time to dive into the world of my art hobby! #Illustration #LineArt #CommentPls

Alright, let's head out to a place a little farther away today! #Illustration #CommentPls #RTpls

This time, the artwork features a pill bug character named “MUSSYU.” #Illustration #LineArt #CommentPls

KOKEDAMACHAN is looking even further ahead. We looked ahead with her. #Illustration #CommentPls #RTpls

I’ve started to see a little bit of the world. #Illustration #LineArt #CommentPls

Tonight, I danced with a fox under the full moon. It was a fun night. #Illustration #CommentPls #RTpls

Alright, let's get started on a new art project! #Illustration #LineArt #CommentPls

Alright, let's go a little farther today! #Illustration #CommentPls #RTpls

We decided to fly together today. It’s been a while since we last saw each other. #Illustration #LineArt #CommentPls

“YOSHIGOI” was gazing at a mysterious creature. Meanwhile, KOKEDAMACHAN was gazing at the water’s surface. #Illustration #CommentPls #RTpls

Apparently, because their bottoms don't sink in the water, they can eat aquatic plants while maintaining their balance. That was really educational. #Illustration #LineArt #CommentPls

I've finished a new piece of art. I tried out a lot of different techniques this time, so I'm really happy with how it turned out. Now, what should I draw next?😊 #Illustration #CommentPls #RTpls

While taking a walk in the woods this morning, I found a brightly colored mushroom. It’s called a “TAMAGOTAKE,” and it seems to be edible.

This is a piece of art I drew around the same time last year. It seems it was hot back then, too, and the forecast says it’s going to be pretty hot in Japan today as well. #Illustration #CommentPls #RTpls

Well, today's work is done. I'm going to switch gears right away and start working on my art as a hobby💪 #Illustration #LineArt #CommentPls

I haven't added any shading yet, but I've colored the bird as well. It's really starting to look like a KOZAKURAINKO now 😉 #Illustration #CommentPls #RTpls

Here’s a photo of the scenery from last year’s solo exhibition. Every single one of these photos holds precious memories for me.

Alright, tonight it’s time to color. I was a little nervous when I was working on the line art, but it looks like it’s really turning into a watermelon. #Illustration #LineArt #CommentPls

The sparrow saw a strange creature in the forest. It was small and green, and although it looked like a flower, it was moving. #Illustration #CommentPls #RTpls

Now that the line art is finished, I’ll scan it at high resolution tonight and get it ready for digital coloring. Scanning analog line art at high resolution really brings out the charm of the lines. #Illustration #LineArt #CommentPls

He heard a faint sound. Normally, he wouldn’t have paid any attention to a sound like that, but since it was something he’d never heard before, he instinctively looked in that direction. #Illustration #CommentPls #RTpls

I’ll be drawing KOZAKURAINKO again today, even if it’s just for a little while. #Illustration #LineArt #CommentPls

It’s 8 a.m. in Japan. It’s cloudy outside. The world is bright with the gentle sunlight. Well, since I have the day off from work today, I plan to take my time and work on my art project. #Illustration #CommentPls #RTpls

The baby sea turtle saw the ocean for the first time. From now on, it will live in this world. The ocean is both a wonderful and a terrifying place. #Illustration #LineArt #CommentPls

Well, I’m feeling great today. I’m going to enjoy making art. #Illustration #CommentPls #RTpls

I saw a strange creature in the forest. It wasn’t moving; it looked like it was dead. For now, I’ll stay close by and observe it, trying to imagine how it lived. #Illustration #LineArt #CommentPls

Something a little tough happened today. Life really does throw all sorts of things at you, doesn’t it? Acting according to your convictions can sometimes bring bad luck, but I hope that one day I’ll be able to look back on this and laugh it off, thinking, “That was a valuable experience.”

Let’s enjoy some art tonight! #Illustration #CommentPls #RTpls

I love the expressive quality of line art. I believe that lines are the culmination of the art of simplifying forms while still conveying their charm. #Illustration #LineArt #CommentPls

Let’s enjoy creating art again tonight! #Illustration #CommentPls #RTpls

Is he decaying, or is he being born? #Illustration #LineArt #CommentPls

It’s now 9:00 p.m. in Japan. Time to get creative tonight. #Illustration #CommentPls #RTpls

TANECHAN has a child. What it has in its mouth is a small mushroom. Apparently, when they’re small—just like human children—they feel calmer when they have something in their mouths. #Illustration #LineArt #CommentPls

The season known as “tsuyu（梅雨）” has begun where I live. It will rain frequently for the next few weeks, and once this season passes, summer will arrive. I need to fully savor the cool weather and get myself mentally prepared for the hot summer ahead. #Illustration #CommentPls #RTpls

Water droplets glistened in the breeze on the surface of a lotus leaf. What a beautiful sight.

The week begins with rain. It’s a quiet start to Monday in Japan. #Illustration #LineArt #CommentPls

I study reference materials to understand the form of the motif, then sketch rough designs while reinterpreting it in my mind. This process is enjoyable and a truly rewarding part of the artistic creation. #Illustration #CommentPls #RTpls

The next new art piece is KOZAKURAINKO. It’s a pet bird known for its watermelon-colored plumage, but the layout is complex, so I’m having a hard time with it. #Illustration #LineArt #CommentPls

People are said to maintain their health with all sorts of medicines, yet even though they know that sleep is actually the best medicine, they pretend not to. We really are fascinating creatures. #Illustration #CommentPls #RTpls

I’m currently signing the A-size reproduction art prints that will be available at my solo exhibition in October. The back features a full-color “making-of” print. Be sure to pick one up at the show!

I can’t tell you how much I’d been looking forward to today. I ended up arriving several hours before our meeting time, but since I didn’t want to be late, I waited here for a while. Even the time spent waiting is enjoyable. #Illustration #LineArt #CommentPls

This week's work is done. A lot happened this week, but now that I'm back home relaxing, I feel a real sense of accomplishment. I'm exhausted, though. But it's a pleasant kind of tiredness. #Illustration #CommentPls #RTpls

Today I heard a story about DANGOMUSHI. He’s a real know-it-all—like a professor who knows everything there is to know about the forest. #Illustration #LineArt #CommentPls

The forest after the rain. The colors of the hydrangeas reflected off the rain, making the forest glow blue. #Illustration #CommentPls #RTpls

It’s almost time for the hydrangea season in Japan. These flowers are closely associated with rain. I’m looking forward to taking my time to admire the hydrangeas in full bloom again this year. #Illustration #LineArt #CommentPls
