Complices Two characters huddled together, wrapped in the same blue scarf, holding a taiyaki piled with ice cream and fruit between their four hands. Green hair in washes on the left, chestnut waves and a bunny hair clip on the right; a green-to-yellow gradient background with bamboo leaves and cherry blossoms. The finished piece is in the gallery as “Complices”. Watercolour on cotton paper. -
My Hero Academia — season 8 A diptych double portrait: Izuku on the left in blues and turquoise, Katsuki on the right in yellows and browns. The two faces, in tears with their mouths open, answer each other either side of the sketchbook’s spine. Alcohol markers and watercolour pencils on card. Watch on YouTube -
Vocaloid 02 A full-length figure caught mid-song, mic raised and one leg bent. Blond hair in washes, a yellow and grey outfit, a soft pink halo behind, all framed by a hand-painted diamond border. Watercolour on cotton paper. Watch on YouTube -
Suzune Horikita — Classroom of the Elite A three-quarter portrait, eyes turned away. Long black hair worked in graded washes down to the braid falling over the shoulder, a red uniform with a burgundy bow, a blended blue and purple background. A border of coloured beads painted all around. Watercolour on cotton paper. Watch on YouTube -
Original character A full-length character design, relaxed stance and chin up. Long white hair in motion left as line work, a short blue top, denim shorts and laced platform boots; an oversized serrated blade rests to her right. Alcohol markers and pencils on card. Watch on YouTube -
Emma — The Promised Neverland A three-quarter bust, hand raised. Bright orange hair in messy strands, big green eyes and an open smile; the clothing is left as line work to keep the colour on the face. Alcohol markers and pencils. -
Picnic in the garden A full scene in digital colour: a girl in a green jumper and yellow boots, stretched out on a turquoise blanket among embroidered cushions, a basket and carafe set down beside her. Behind her, a little red-roofed house and bright woodland. Digital illustration. Watch on YouTube -
Akio — character sheet A character design sheet for an original character: a large line study of the face looking to one side, and the full-length figure on the right — messy red hair, a loose white t-shirt, grey shorts and trainers. The name, age and given name annotated in kanji. Digital drawing. -
Dress in the wind A greyscale sketch worked purely in values: a girl seen three-quarters on, long hair and skirt swept up by a gust, the movement suggested with broad sweeping strokes. Digital drawing.
