Kaori Nasu is a Japanese illustrator who creates hand-drawn illustrations inspired by nostalgic scenery and the beautiful colors of her homeland. The artist graduated from the University of Arts and Fine Arts and now says that for her, art means “life itself”.

“I use acrylic gouache, white gesso, and oily colored pencils. It is a painting material that I have been used to since I was a student,” Kaorinasu shared in an interview for Ballpit. “It uses a lot of colors and beautiful coloring, a mixture of white gesso and paint. This is because oil-based colored pencils can be used to paint small parts on top of the paint.”

She has currently posted more than 300 artworks and hopes that one day her art is going to be used for ending your favorite TV programs and dramas.

Portland-based artist Jake Giddens creates art that combines traditional art styles with a fun, playful vibrance. Inspired by Japanese woodblock prints, medieval paintings, Persian drawings, comic books, fable storybooks, and contemporary children’s textiles, he explains that he likes creating artwork that allows him to have fun with the subject matter and color palette.

One of his recent projects is a series of cat illustrations inspired by traditional Japanese and medieval art.

“When I moved into my own apartment I realized I could come up with a theme and decorate it however I liked. Realizing I’m a fan of cats and Japanese woodblock prints I decided to combine those interests and make these art prints for my new home,” the artist shared on Bored Panda.

Alongside cute feline illustrations, Giddens whose professional artistic journey began back in 2014 also makes comics based on mental health and stories from his personal life.

Japanese illustrator Yoshinori Kobayashi always loved drawing and her artistic career was influenced by comics.

When creating her art, the self-taught artist doesn’t love using too many colors, instead, she likes to express herself with fewer colors. “I draw using a masking film and a sponge. The paint uses 12-color matte watercolor (Japanese elementary school students mostly use this paint) and tries to leave a texture on the picture. My vitality is that I use the same paint as the respected manga artist,” the artist said in an interview for Ballpit.

She usually starts her artistic process by drawing roughly with a pencil on paper. “The draft is drawn with a pencil, and the finish is painted with a sponge containing paint. A masking film is used when painting. Painting is very important to me. Art encourages me. I have a lot of fun when I have a pencil,” she revealed.

Being silent on a train or not seeing a trashcan anywhere are just some of the things you can only experience in Japan. After spending some time there, the Singaporean artist Evangeline Neo decided to demonstrate the differences between the Japanese culture and her homeland.

“I studied in Tokyo during 2010-2014 and noticed a lot of cultural differences between Japan and my country so I started to draw these comic strips about them to deal with my culture shock,” the artist shared on Bored Panda. “I hope my comics will help more foreigners to understand Japan and Japanese better, as well as to increase awareness and change how we behave.”

Better known as Eva Comics on social media, Neo has been drawing webcomics since 2007 and with her remarkable talent and cute Japanese style illustrations, she became one of the most recognized artists in Southeast Asia.
