よみ.（水原 暦）
あずまきよひこさん著『あずまんが大王』の登場キャラ、よみ（水原 暦）....です。似てない。
まぁそれはいつものことですが、なんだかこの「よみ」は、いつかどこかの違う媒体のキャラのような....(T_T)。
３巻のP141「言葉の暴力」１コマ目と「たこちゅー!?」で衝動的に描きたくなったココロ....（汗）。
好きなキャラはこの「よみ」と「ゆかり先生」なので、先生の方も描きたい....ですけど、更に似ない予感が....。
１巻は２０刷越えているそうで（凄い）。ひょっとしてウチにある初版本って貴重なのかしら....。
３巻の表紙の榊さんの瞳....噛み猫が写りこんでますけど、そういえばこういうのって今まで描いた事ないなぁ、自分....。
原作にある眼鏡の度表現（像の歪み）は....自分で描いてみたら、どうにも変な感じになったので断念しました....。
もともと大きいサイズで描いたので（横2000ピクセル以上）、縮小して想像以上に潰れてしまったのが辛いです。ｈｐの絵は全部そうですけど....。
自分のマシンでは印刷時の事を考えて、今ほとんどモニタと印刷媒体と変わらない色味にしています。
....しかし普通にパソコン使っている方は、そういった色設定しないでしょうし、実際普通の素設定のWin機ですと自分のｈｐの絵はかなり色が濃く表示されるようです。....ので意識して色を薄めにしたのですけど....どうでしょうか。
Yomi. (Mizuhara Koyomi)
This is... Yomi (Mizuhara Koyomi), a character appearing in Azuma Kiyohiko's "Azumanga Daioh". Even if it doesn't look like her.
Well, that always ends up being the case, but somehow this version of "Yomi" seems to have come from a different media format somehow... (T_T).
The first panel of volume 3, page 141, "Language of Violence", and "Takochuu!?" gave me heart to draw her impulsively... (sweat).
My favorite characters are this "Yomi" and also "Yukari-sensei", so I'd like to draw her too... I get the feeling that my version of her would resemble the original even less though...
I heard that the first volume has had over 20 printings (which is great!). I wonder if the first volume I have at home is valuable...
As for the expression of Sakaki's eyes on the cover of volume 3... I don't think I've ever drawn anything like that before...
I originally drew this in high resolution (more than 2000 pixels wide), so it was bit difficult to scale it down, and I ended up losing more detail than I had anticipated...
On my computer, when I'm thinking about printing something, I almost always use the same colors for print as well as on-screen display now... However normal computer users won't have the same color settings that I do, so in fact the illustrations I post on my webpage end up getting displayed way darker than they should on Windows with the standard settings... As a result I made a concious effort to lighten the colors this time... How do you think it worked out?
