Redrew Hirano Ayumi with photo reference this time.

Drawing from image in my head

Drawing the silver medalist of halfpipe, Ayumu Hirano from imagination. Turns out I was quite wrong, all well. :P

The Four Seasons

"Spring"
Was thinking of another title, such as "the song of spring" since she is listening to birds.

"Summer"
With this, I really wanted to convey a ideal summer, not like in Tokyo where it is sweaty, hot and humid... x_x 

"Fall"
In Japan, there is a saying called "Aki ha yonaga" which means the night it long in the fall. I wanted to show the early end of days.

"Winter"
The other title I was thinking for this, was "warmth in winter."

It is weird, but it the coldness is worse in Tokyo then when I was in Milwaukee during winter or Finland in Feb. Of course it is way colder in temp there in Tokyo, but maybe it is because indoors it is warmer, or just because you wear a lot you are warmer... But it gets to me more when I'm sitting in a kind of cold office room for the whole day.

Second Proof

Second proof of the winter scene. More details added to hair and etc. I think I like this better! Series coming soon~.

First proof

Got my first proof the other day. Not bad, but I think I need to do some tweaking!
