1：Drafting
Ever-mechanical
pencils are used for drafting.
I used to sharpen regular pencils by cutters, but changed to mechanical
pencils in order to save time.
As a lead, 0.5mmHB Pentel-FOR PRO is my favorite.
Regular pencils give good taste upon using, but .........
After laying out each
cuts on the board, the size of the TV frame is decided.
The frame will be drawn with rather a hard pencil, then the draft
will be drawn.
For example ......
it will be like this. ( Please excuse me for expressing my male-natural
desire!)
2：Drawing with pens
Maru-pen and holbein BLACK ink is used.
I try not to change the mood of the draft drawings,
but .......
with this result ......
3：Coloring
WINSOR & NEWTON transparent watercolors are used
Paintbrushes .... KASUMI (large & medium size) by SEISIN-DO (purchased
at UEMATSU, Shibuya) is my favorite.
KASUMI is quite firm and gives best results in drawing both fine lines
and large areas.
Drawing like Japanese paintings by wetting the surface and shading
off is also possible
Transparent watercolors are excellent for both pale colors and strong,
flashy colors, giving clear expression.
I also use Dr.Ph.Martin's ink ( ex.., blue, pink...) for its color
generabilty.
