For today’s painting I decided to color a drawing I did for last year’s Inktober. I decided to go for a flat style which fits the era well. I made a few edits to the line art itself. Who knows if I’ll do it, but it would be fun to make the background snow move and make a gif out of this painting.
For Today’s drawing we have the prompt as “drive”. I decided to make some fan art of the racing girls from “私をスキーに連れてって” or “Take Me Out to the Snowland”.
It’s finally up. I made some last minute additions to it today. I’m so glad I bought the blu-ray copy of the movie. The quality is amazing. There are so many details that I couldn’t see before on Tomoyo’s outfit. It’s actually a lot more intricate than I thought. I also didn’t notice the Boya print on the gloves. And with the better quality I could zoom into her sunglasses to better define the reflections.
If you haven’t seen “私をスキーに連れてって ” or “Take me out to the snowland” I recommend it. It’s a nice time capsule of the time. Seems like this movie influence many to take up skiing and even now they reference it in advertisement’s. I mainly wanted to see it due to Tomoyo Harada but there are other awesome things such as a nice showcase of Toyota cars racing through the snow and their drivers. I’m pretty sure they must have been an inspiration for the sil-eighty drivers from Initial D. Very fun movie overall even with my limited Japanese.
Oh yeah, this was also a Valentine’s day movie thus the upload date.
