I am still waiting for news on my visa, and it's a little bit like sitting on a hot-plate.. with ants running all over you! I can't sit still, and I'm having trouble concentrating. So, I thought, let's distract myself (and all you guys) with… some more tenipuri story!! YAYY!
Since I added Kaiwa-san to my facebook recently, I get pretty nostalgic reading his complaints about current life in the studio. (XD;;) My chapter in the Tenipuri studio is over, of my own choice, but the production life is still going on over there. Ganbatte, sensei-tachi!
So, we left off at..
Soon enough, though, the holidays came to an end, and Sensei emailed us to come into the studio again. One freezing cold January day, I met up with Kaiwa-san, Tamusho, Marie, and Su-chan inside of Sensei's first-floor studio.
It was business as usual. Straight in, and straight to work. The first piece that I had to draw was a golf cart… as a tennis cart!
At that point, Konomi-sensei starts giving lots of advice that makes you feel tiny and inexperienced (though it's very nice of him to do that!).
I learned a lot, though!! By the end of the week, I had drawn these pictures (and a few more that I don't remember).
This one, I did the entire middle panel's scenery and all of the screentones on that and the lower panel with the characters.
Actually, the entire training house was designed by me! Sensei was so happy with my uniform designs, that he asked me to design the training house.
I wish that I had my old original drawings still!!
Look familiar? I still have the charm that it was based on!
Stay tuned for next time!! Something bad goes down between this session in the studio and the next.. What do you think it is?
