Q: What is the theme of this work and what thoughts did you put into it?

It's a theme I've drawn many times before, but it's "presents from crows who love shiny things." The crows, who love glitter, found a sparkly girl and thought, "If we decorated such a sparkly girl with glitter, she'd be even more sparkly and beautiful," so they gave her a gift of the accessories they had collected over the years.

The crows in my creative world are creatures who simply love sparkly things. I draw them hoping to return to a time when I could love things purely.

Q: What do you value most when creating your work?

Every time I draw, I delve deeper into what I like. This time, the theme is "A crow that loves sparkles," and I'm drawing with the idea that if I keep drawing and thinking about the theme, I might be able to find more value that is unique to me and come up with new ways of expression. In this way, I want to dig deeper into what I like and nurture it.

Q: What would you like to challenge in the future?

I hope to be able to release a second art book someday. Since I released the first art book, the way I use color and other things have already changed, so I would be happy if I could have the opportunity to compile my own style that wasn't seen in the previous art book into a book.
