The Technique of Manga Artists
Street Corner Ghosts
Kazuaki Morita
Faces projected onto a window or freefloating parts, like a
common
like
hand or head, are
motifs for representing things
ghosts and fallen warriors. Despite
being under the moonlight, the clothing
patterns of the
mounted warrior can not
be distinguished. On the other hand, the
face of the flying neck
is
when
it
shouldn't be. (The source of light
is
behind the head so the facial expression
shouldn't be visible.) This sort of
inconceivable style of expression helps
direct a supernatural
atmosphere. The
handling of various details, such as the
face-shaped water pool and hand-like
patterns on the house's boards, increases
the
mood
of the occult.

Fairies
and Fantasy World Characters
Tomo Ohtake
The lengthy shadows on the ground lend
a sense of realism to these characters
and prove that they are definitely a part
of this mysterious world. The flame
burning at the fingertip of the dog-headed
character most likely means morning has
come so
it
has transferred the flame from
the candle. The flowing hair and skirts of
the
girls,
the drifting dragon, and the
grapes floating
in
mid-air provides
movement and mysticism
to the
otherwise static image. With such
dramatization,
it
is
possible to fully evoke
a fantasy quality without necessarily
using a dark image.
