Q: How do you create your work?

Before I start drawing, I always gather materials.
I usually save illustrations that I find attractive from sites like X and Pinterest, which are full of illustrations. When I'm thinking about the composition of my work, I usually get ideas from there.

Also, the thing I keep in mind the most when drawing an illustration is deciding what I want to show. Rather than a general idea like "cuteness" or "vigorous pose," I set the parts I want to show with a specific image in mind, like "a big smile on my face" or "hair blowing wildly in the wind ." By doing so, the picture will communicate what the artist is trying to convey to the viewer.

Q : What is your source of inspiration?

　Before I got my current style, I was just copying the style of one illustrator. If you copy a lot of different styles, it's easy to end up half-hearted, so by focusing on one, I was able to clarify where I should aim.
I think the biggest way I've grown is by always thinking about how the other person would draw it, completing the illustration, and then comparing it with my own drawing to analyze what I'm lacking.
I think anime has had a big influence on me. I'm especially influenced by the facial expressions of the characters. Animators are really good at drawing different facial expressions, so I often use them as reference.

Q: What do you want to convey through your illustrations?
 　The part I want to convey changes depending on the character I draw. For fan fiction, I try to create a composition that makes the most prominent part of that character.
In the case of Isabella, I try to compose her so that her breasts are the most prominent feature. A technique I've been using recently is to draw the area around her breasts in detail to create a sense of density, and to draw the eye to her breasts.
