Swim-Ring Sakaki-san & Chiyo-chan
Miyanose You: 2001
It's summer, so they are in their usual swimsuits. I felt that the two girls were the best of friends, so I drew them together. I had a hard time balancing their bodies because I couldn't quite tell how their sizes compared to each other. I like to paint the skin light, but compared to the background, it didn't look like summer skin, so I used photo correction to make it darker. I like it because it gives the impression of a tan and it looks better. The sky is lush and fresh.
