ProfessionalWhy did you make this work:
Stereotypical Japanese culture, such as Sumo and Kimono, is popular among tourists, but it was not a part of my daily life as I grew up in Japan. However, since I have not been able to go abroad for the past two years, I have had more opportunities to travel within Japan and review its culture. I express the fun of Japanese culture that I want to introduce to the world as a Japanese illustrator.
How was the illustration used: This is a personal project and I plan to use it for my portfolio.
How did you make this work: I first drew a rough draft on paper, then transferred it onto Adobe Fresco and Photoshop to finish the details.
