What was it that sparked all
these creations?
?
”I was a bit unsure about this box at first as Manga/Anime is not something that I’ve really done or explored before.
After having a play about with a photo editor app, I felt inspired to create a self-portrait in this style and see how it went. Needless to say, I loved it, and it inspired me to create more portraits of family and friends.
This then expanded into the world of anime as my son is a massive anime fan, and I even got his seal of approval on my attempts at female characters from popular anime series”

We love the nod to Japanese mythology in this one! Great colours in the background, blending on ppoint and the white outline just finishes this off perfectly
Is Manga your go to syle?
“Manga actually isn’t my usual style when it comes to my art, I tend to have a more “western” style with larger eyes. For this piece, I took inspiration from Japanese mythology and yokai, as there are a few of those creatures that take a feminine form. With this idea, I found the Furutsubaki-No-Rei fit the colour pallet I was given the best.”

Sailor Moon is a classic Manga reference and we are totally here for this version. All of the suppplies layered, blended and lined
to perfection
What did you think of this
months supplies?
“I was really happy when I opened the box, I had been wanting to draw something in the manga style lately, and what better than alcohol markers! I had never tried these markers or this paper before, and I found them very pleasant to work with. The selected palette is really pretty and very harmonious, I was immediately inspired.
It’s typically this kind of boxes that I loved”
