I started drawing illustrations for the first time in February 2019. My roots were that I wanted to draw a world like this when I saw the background of the game I was playing at that time.

It's the same as when I started making illustrations, but one thing was that mocha was in charge of the background of the game I was playing. Also, it may be one that my aunt was a painter and the work was often displayed in the room.

I will create a rough by adding my favorite motifs from the scenery that I saw. From there, I will squeeze the colors and details into the landscape that I imagined.

It's astronomical observation and reading.

This time, the theme was an image of a golden country, so I thought of Kinkakuji from golden, and from there I decided to set the stage to a Japanese country. It's not fun just because the building is shining, so it's something that symbolizes Japanese ... I made it with the motif of golden cherry blossoms that only bloom in some areas at a certain time, reminiscent of cherry blossoms.

For next year (future), I would like to convey the story (world view) by adding not only the background but also the person (character).
