My Arts Award

This term I have been working on my Arts Award and I have been studying anime and anime artists. Here are a few examples of my work.

This character is called Yui. I drew her with a mixture of inks and pencil, starting with a pencil and then outlining with a pen and finishing by colouring it in. I am quite proud of this piece.

It is a cat girl, this one is called Rui. My mum really liked this one because I drew it for her.

With this character I experimented with painting a simple background using watercolour paint. It was a good experiment but I wasn’t sure about the results.

Sybil the Backpack Fairy

I have researched the story of Sybil the Backpack Fairy, a graphic novel written by Michel Rodrigue and drawn by Antonello Danela, Manuela Razzi and Cecilia Giumento.

This was a good story with a pretty nice storyline. The book I read was episode two and I would have liked to read episode one first. The story is about a girl called Nina who has a servant fairy who is supposed to protect her. She messed up during the morning by saying thank you which fairies are not supposed to do and then Nina nearly drowned because of Laurie but was saved by the water fairy. Nina later gets turned into a mermaid and goes on some underwater adventures.

I liked the storyline and and the friendly, colourful drawing style. I didn’t like some of the facial expressions of some of the characters. I have been inspired by the fairy story and it would be nice to write my own story in this style.
