The cover image for His Spring. Similar to a previous picture of mine from Sweetness of Strawberries. One of these days i'm going to actually draw Hikaru's bruising.

To fell snow, is to feel God's words.

France is incredibly far away. (My first monochrome drawing!)

Yuki Fujitani Age 11 Oh my gosh, he's so adorable! It's easy to see how he would often times get confused as a girl and his curls were so unmanageable! I think he looks absolutely adorable and I just wanna pinch his cheeks!

Hikaru Sato Age 11. He's the kind of kid that your mother told you not to hang out with because of his outward appearance. But it's not his fault he's all banged up due to his abusive father. Hikaru would take down a bully in an instant and really just wants to hang out and play video games but never got too many friends, certainly no life long friends.

I wanted to play around with angles with out doing a full scale drawing so I decided to do a manga style picture. I've very pleased since this was my first go at it!

Since I liked doing the Manga style drawings, I did this one based on the last conversation Arisu has with her brother Hikaru before he passes away. (Damn Sakura blossoms are hard to draw! But i'm extremely happy!)

Yuki Fujitani age 14 first year of high school. He was always getting paint on his uniform and all during his high schooling he wore that pink sweater, he still has it now that he's 22.

Yuki Fujitani age 16 Hikaru Sato age 16. they are both third years in high school and are budding into young men. Hikaru was in a gang during this point, and soon dropped out, Yuki was class president from this time until graduation, determined to change the god awful plaid on the uniform (he was unsuccessful).

HIkaru Sato, Yuki Fujitani both age 31. Since I drew them as little kids i wonder what they would look like as full fledged working adults. Hikaru (had he lived long enough to see his thirties) finally got his hair out of his face but keeps it long and Yuki's curls have returned as subtle manly waves of golden tousles. I'm sure that they're the kind of adults the single women are all over!

A quick drawing. When Arisu got a phone her and Hikaru were trying to figure out the camera and took this accidental photo. She ended up loving it and has it as her wall paper.
