Akogare - Rei Kisumi Illustration Making and Visual Book
あこがれ 木澄 玲生作品集 ILLUSTRATION MAKING ＆ VISUAL BOOK
Akogare gathers Rei Kisumi's character illustrations in the artist's first collection, tracing the work from early pieces to recent images and new drawings. The selection reflects Kisumi's aim to create female characters whose fashion and presence resonate with women.
The cover pairs a familiar character in blue-and-yellow clothing with a new pink-themed character created for this book. Additional new artwork explores the story behind that cover. Rough sketches and detailed making-of pages reveal both the creative decisions and practical stages behind the illustrations.
Costume explanations and character-design commentary draw attention to details that finished pictures alone may not reveal, while an interview explores the artist's practice. This 192-page Japanese-language Shoeisha edition uses a wide B5 format and the high-definition Brilliant Palette printing process.
