Description
The third of my `Saisons de Japonais` series. Pen and ink on a pencil sketch. Figure using stock from [link] and various design work taken from yukata patterns/original. The calligraphy reads `Spring Flower Viewing` (hanami) and the smaller script to the left is my signature.Related content

No, I scanned it and then cleaned it up in Photoshop. (Cropped and adjusted the contrast to make the blacks stronger and sharper, and the white a little more clean.) Thanks!

My sketchbook is a ring-binder, and when I scanned it, the binding meant that corner wasn't pressed against the scanner like the rest of it, so it made a shadow. And I wasn't sure how to clean it up. You can see the same shadow in roughly the same place in all the drawings. Eventually I'll cut them away from the binding, I guess, and then I might rescan them.

That's very beautiful. Nice clean style and a strong visual elegance in the composition. Fine details and contrast. Excellent form.

Its very original. Alot of people do anime art, but not alot actualy do art that reflects Japan like this piece.

Thanks! I like anime, but I prefer a more realistic style in my own drawings.
Living in Japan, I`ve been really inspired to do this series of drawings to reflect different activities during the four seasons - bright festivals during summer, taking hot springs in winter snow, going out to view the spring blossom. For the last one, autumn, I`m planning a tea ceremony theme...
