Manga Pencil Art

Was going through some folders of stuff I had bookmarked as possible blog entries from awhile ago, and came across this one screencap I took from the Masahiro Matsuoka / Tabe Mikako drama Yasuko To Kenji that actually still looks totally cool and post-worthy!!

Tabe Mikako and Masahiro Matsuoka

 Yasuko To Kenji tells the story of an ex-yankee gangbanger who's now an established manga artist (though under a female pseudonym) who's also taking care of his rambunctious younger sister.

As the drama revolves heavily on the details of life as a Manga artist, a lot of real manga devices and tools are used, one episode showed  the pencil-work of  some pages that Kenji did as he was musing about the strip's direction and looking at it, I was blown away by how FREAKIN' BEAUTIFUL the artwork was! As an artist myself, I have to say it amped me up and made me want to drag out my drawing table and do some sketches of my own!!! I wonder who it was that did the actual artwork for the show. Somebody talented, that's for sure!
