Wedding tree illustration






I had a pleasure to work on my friend's wedding graphics this year.
The request included a wedding tree illustration featuring the couple and her favourite animal, and a welcome board. Both illustrations were displayed at the reception.
The wedding tree is becoming popular at weddings in Japan these days. ( I hadn't heard about it until this job!) A leaf-less tree is decorated by the guests with leaf stamps or fingerprint and their signature. The tree will then have complete look after the guests' contribution.

Congratulations and wishing both a happy future to come!


今年は、友人の披露宴にウエディング・ツリーとウェルカムボードを描くお仕事をさせてもらいました。今まで、ウエディング・ツリーという習慣があることを知らなかったけど、今回知って、素敵なアイディアだなと。調べてみると、モノトーンのものやシルエットのものが多かったので、淡い色のものにしようと進めてみました。それと、挙式が春ということで、春らしい色使いにもしてあります。

お二人の末永いお幸せを祈って!ご結婚おめでとう!!

D-E-F-G






Continued from previous alphabet series, I have done those 4 in the recent weeks. The style is slightly varied from children's book type illustration to more sophisticated style. ( I need to find the way to stick to one, I guess) My husband thinks the animals are more realistically illustrated here than caricatured or drawn in more graphical style. For this series I will be going for slightly realistic illustrations. I still need to think of animals for some letters to come...

前回につづき、動物のイラストを描いています。絵本的な絵と、もう少し大人向けの絵と少し統一性に欠けますが、(うーん、でも統一した方がいいよね。)描き終えるまで頑張りたいと思います。その頃には統一されてるかな?まだ動物を当てはめていないアルファベットもありますが、描きながら決めていこうかな。

A-B-C







It may be cliche but I am doing it! A-Z animals. My plan is to finish all 26 letters with animals this year. This is one of my personal project that I want to do in 2015. I don't know what it'll turn into yet. Maybe a booklet, maybe cards but I decided to set myself a project. This is just the first three. I am hoping to illustrate more in the weeks to come. 

今年のやりたいイラスト・リストのうちの一つはA-Zアニマル。アルファベットにちなんだ動物の絵を描きたい!と考えています。まだ最初の3匹だけだけど、これからもっと描いていく予定です。
