An illustration that is drawn in very familiar things, such as book illustrations, CD jackets, flyers and posters, and enriches our lives.In particular, especially when you spend more time at home, you may have many opportunities to notice its fun.In order to approach the source of the ideas of such illustrations, the series “Illustrator Work Scenery” introduces the production site and daily work style of three illustrators.
The first one is a CD jacket of Reisaburo Adachi and ENJOY MUSIC CLUB, as well as a wide range of book cover, binding, animation, and Hiroyuki Hiroyuki, an illustrator.
In the requested job, he never forgets his attitude to enjoy and enjoy "play", and his stance that is honestly saying "I don't want to do much work" may give courage to the person who wants to create.not.I experienced the new pen tablet "HUAWEI MATEPAD 11" and had a special illustration.

―Please tell us the reason why Ima was aiming for an illustrator.
Ii: In fact, I was studying video at university, and after graduation I worked for a video production company.However, when I looked back at my way, I wanted to try to draw the picture I originally liked.So I started going to school.
―You went to school once after working for the company.How old is it?
Ichi: I think it was about 29 years old.It's quite slow.The school called "Palette Club School" was once taught by Dr. Anzai Mizumaru, Makoto Wada, and Osamu Harada.I couldn't only take the lecture from Dr. Anzai Mizumaru -sensei, but the existence of these three was really big.
-Did it also affect the illustrations of Idai -san?
Ii: That's right.The flat and emotional illustrations drawn from Showa to Heisei like these three people have something that resonates with their hearts, and they are still my favorite illustrators.

Makoto Wada's illustration
-I feel that emotional expression is a part that leads to the illustrations of Ikan.Is it an illustration culture unique to Japan?
Ii: I think that Mr. Anzai Mizumaru and Makoto Wada are strongly influenced by overseas.I feel that it sublimated it in Japan.It has a lovely, a little laughing when you look at it, and it makes your heart rich.I like that kind of place.
-Certainly, there is a unique touch.
Ii: It's a clear and refreshing flat line, but there's a loneliness and coolness.But do you feel the casualness of an adult who never looks cool?You really have emotions.
-What kind of ideas can I proceed with the idea when producing?
Ii: I just like fantasy.I want to pursue something that is not in reality.When expressing it as an illustration, the dialogue is established by incorporating a real motif and creating a point of contact between the recipient and the world.
Ichi: However, there is a little discomfort when claiming to be an illustrator.I think that drawing "pictures" and drawing "illustrations" are different in myself.
-What does that mean?
Iii: Is "illustration" a more clear purpose?For example, you think about the motif according to the request of the person who requested it.I think that the character must have a smile or the color is better, so I think it is different from "drawing".I wonder if the picture is an act of creating more free and inconvenient constraints.Both are really fun.
-Is it an illustration that draws voluntarily, is it requested and drawn?
Hello: It's difficult, but it's a little different.It's a sensory way, but the glue is different.In extreme cases, it is a picture that you can freely draw colors and interesting motifs that you do not have to understand, and that you can freely draw an interesting motif that you are beautiful.
I have the pleasure of drawing in the restrictions, but the illustration is a feeling of snuggling with existing things.I seek what I haven't seen yet.So the kind of excitement is different.
―I've done what you like, but have you ever disliked drawing illustrations?
Ii: Well, I guess there are almost no.There was a time when I felt a dilemma like "this kind of expression is useless" or "I have to do this for requests", but now my senses and the sense of society are getting closer, so the distance there.Is almost gone.So you may rarely be disgusted.
"I want to draw a playful illustration that makes me laugh."
-What do you feel most joyful when you do this job?
Ikai: I think that it is an illustration that it is easy to create a little laugh when thinking about "what is the meaning of drawing an illustration".
For example, during this time, I drew a cover illustration of a soccer magazine, but I drew a small "ants" at the end.It wasn't in the request, but I thought it was interesting.I laughed myself while drawing (laughs).
-The ants of anti -sugar are formating for sugar (laughs).
Ikai: While responding to the request, I put in a strange motif at the last minute, and I imagined that it would appear in the world and laughed alone during the production (laughs).Don't forget the feeling that your playfulness is a job.If you lose this, I think it will be more and more spicy.
Introducing the day schedule of Ishi Ishi
―I'm visiting Ikai's home and workplace today. Are you particular about your workplace?
Ii: Is there a sofa that can take a nap (laughs)?Until before, there was a bed here, but I changed it to a sofa because it wasn't really good to sleep too much.
-Please tell us your work time schedule.
10:00 wake up.Start the game immediately after getting up 12:00 (If you're hungry) Breakfast and lunch 13:00 Nap 14:00 Start producing illustrations 17:00 Go to a nearby coffee shop and think about ideas 19:00 Dinner 20:00 Illustration productionOr play games, watch soccer, go to bed 27:00
Ii: It's a bad person who takes a nap and just games, and it's always appropriate (laughs).
-What kind of game do you play?
Ii: I'm playing a PC game called "Stardew Valley" and "Rimworld".Drawing a picture is usually like an escape from reality, but it's a job, so it's a mysterious loop that plays a game with that escape (laughs).
-The continued escape from reality is the key to creation (laughs).Did you have any change in your life in Corona's evil?
Ikai: Originally, it is a withdrawal constitution for games, so it is almost the same.As a routine, I have time to go to a coffee shop for a few hours every day and think about illustration ideas.
―I'm deciding only for work in your life where you are playing freely.
Ii: That's right.However, since I can use my time every day, I often do not remember what I did yesterday (laughs).
3 points of favorite goods that support Ishi -san's illustrations
-Please tell us your favorite items that are indispensable for such illustrations.
Iku: For a long time, my posture will worsen if I go to my computer, so I stretch my shoulders and back when I notice it.I bought it online a few years ago.
Ikai: I think it's an object, but when the buttocks and hips are tired without sitting, I sit on it and relax my muscles.We purchased at a general store in Kichijoji.
I like: I like all the subtle expressions are cute.It is placed on the window of the workplace and is healed when you are tired of work.All are
Challenge for the creation of a cat."I want to cherish more fun than money"
-In -san usually draws illustrations with a pen tablet, but this time I drew illustrations using "Huawei MatePad 11".Is this work a pig's family?
Ii: That's right.I like pigs.
I usually draw while looking at the screen of the computer using a tablet at hand, but Huawei MatePad 11 can be drawn directly on a liquid crystal pen tablet, so it was close to the feeling of drawing on paper.There was a sense of live than usual.Even if the line protrudes, it seems that the place to correct usually becomes a taste.
-It's like a hand -drawn and digital.
Ii: That's like that.This illustration was proceeded without draft.Anyway, I've always liked round things.I've been addicted to the babies, especially recently (laughs).
-Itake your family.How is it comfortable to draw?
Ikai: The feeling of a pen hitting the screen and the smooth feel when drawing a line was pleasant.
Also, I thought it might be an advantage that the LCD pen tablet could be drawn while turning the body.In a personal computer, for example, in the case of a character facing sideways, I rotate the illustration or tilt my head (laughs), but if it is a tablet, I can draw the terminal as it is, so I also draw it on paper.It can be close to your senses.
-Do you have anything you want to do in the future or what you want to challenge?
Ii: First of all, I hope that you can draw a picture book and develop your own character goods.
I don't think Illustrations can create something new, including the method and the way of expressing, so that the ancestors have already exceeded it.
So, I'm thinking about what if I create a character and put it out as a three -dimensional model, I can establish originality.I want to be a creator who can make things independently while doing the work I got.
-I see.I heard so far, and I felt that the attitude of facing the illustration naturally without stretching shoulders and elbows was impressive.What do you think is why Ishi is active as an illustrator?
Ii: I can't say anything that looks great, but I think it's good to enjoy it first.The paintings drawn while suffering are also attractive, but I enjoy it.
It's fun to draw things that you have never thought of, and it's fun to immerse yourself and draw an image in yourself.I guess it would be better to value such a "fun" sensation.I hope you can feel more fun than money.
