Day in the Life of Itafushi
Full Art Illustration
Illustrator
This illustration was an experiment of using a messy art style made up of lots of scribbles, deviating from my usual clean, lineless art. I let myself loose and combined two of my favourite anime characters from Jujutsu Kaisen, Itadori Yuuji (left) and Megumi Fushiguro (right) and placed them in a casual and modern environment. The original anime has constant action and I wanted to see them in a more peaceful setting, imagining how they’d look in their everyday lives, away from any danger. I allowed my imagination to take over and conceptualized their clothes and facial expressions that resonated with the character’s personalities, using references for the pose and environment to get the proportions correct and ensure the room was accurate to the original series!
Process + Development
As an experiment piece, I let myself go and started with rough sketches of these characters the moment I saw the reference picture. It was a relief to do this scribbly ballpen-esque line art since there was no usual pressure of needing everything to look clean and neat by drawing in this art style. Drawing the t-shirt and hat designs as well as the facial expressions and poses was a very fun process, trying to stay true to these character's personalities while adding my own creative imagination and picking a harmonious colour palette!

Inspiration
These artworks look very polished and detailed but at a closer glance, the rendering and line art are made up of scribbles.
