Yoshiki：Thank you very much!
I think of myself as a photographer. I want my character to pose, and look cute and cool in their outfits.
I also try not to be sloppy with the hands, feet, and fingers.

Yoshiki：There is an artist that I consider a mentor (in my mind...) and I think "How would that artist draw this?". It's another artist that inspires me greatly that I didn't mention before. I also look at my own hands.

Yoshiki：I get inspiration from different color schemes, especially 70's fashion, but I mostly just place colors that feel good to me.
I also add extra accent colors.

Yoshiki：I'm just lazy and easily bored, so I went with a style that doesn't take too much effort...lol

Yoshiki：I think the lineart is very important to this style. I try to make the lineart very clean. If I can't come up with ways to add shadows, I just don't add them and create a simplistic look. LOL.
Also I try experimenting with different colors. The strength of this style is that it is easy to change the colors, so I do stuff like add a complete opposite type of color. Then I eventually come up with ways to make it look good.

Yoshiki：Using layers for each parts is very easy. You can try out different colors, because of how easy it is to adjust them.
After you add colors, it's easy to picture the completed image. It has a clean look even if you add lots of motif and props, as long as the lineart is clean. After the lineart, the process is very quick.

Yoshiki：I get inspiration from outfits for children or dolls.

Yoshiki：I like the "young lady" kind of look, or the variety of motif, and the playful designs.

Yoshiki：I draw the big things first. I zoom out to check the composition to see if the props are not scattered.

Yoshiki：I like inking and adding colors to the eye. I love it when I see the eye with the highlights.
