No he probably doesn’t sketch first since drawing freehand with a pen actually isn’t hard for professional artists or even someone who just draws enough
And every other artist do too.... Obata art is incredibly but draw a character's face with a Sharpie, is the basic of the basic for a artist, all the others can do it in whatever hour
+Leon Rodrigues And they've drawn it hundreds... thousands of times. They probably know the characters inside and out, and don't even have to try really hard to put those on paper. It's second nature to them.
No, if you see more closely, he already drew the outlines. He is just going or tracing his outlines with a black marker. Hes not doing it without reference. Theres clearly a small outline of the character underneath the paper
Death Note ended years ago and it’s still almost as popular if not as popular as how it was when it was getting serialised. 2 legends making one of the best manga in history!
Darius Ratliff For some reason, I like Yusuke Murata more than Takeshi Obata, even though Yusuke is originally Obata's apprentice/assistant, he kinda evolved to a bit different.
I was there for the first two and watching them live legit changed my life. One day I'll be a mangaka too, I know it =) Thanks so much for bringing him VIZ and company.
I am literally half the globe away from both Japan and the US. It sorta pains me to watch this. He truly is the master! The best in the Shonen business!
I still have the theory that L aint death, you never see his body, maybe he planned it with the shinigami, its a shame we didnt see him come out at the end showing again with Light.
+Hayashi Nirvana Wait, these people go to New york? YESSSS!! (sorry i just wasnt sure which part of the U.S they always visit. But do you know how often they stop by? If so could you tell me when their gonna come again?
+Jinzo Jector I';m sorry for such a question, but did you ever speak to him? if so, did he understand? Considering he's Japanese and all and you're probably English. So i wanted to know if he understood?
Obhata was shy.They stressed that at the time of the signing.I did have time to say something quick like Hello n that was it. To be honest, I had more of a conversation with Masashi Kishimoto who was at NYCC this year.His translator was by him and he devoted a few minutes to each fan
Jinzo Jector So you could assume that all the creators had translators next to them? None of them knew english that well? And another thing, how often do they have these Jump fests?. I'd like to visit one
