Rizian Art

Hi guys! It's Monday! For some people the worst day of the week, but for me it's one of the most cool days, so let's get to the business! Today I'm going to write something about a pretty important influence to me and my art, his name is Asada Hiroyuki, a Japanese Manga artist, he's currently working in the manga series Tegami Bachi for Shueshia, Inc.

The feeling from the art he does is really amazing when you see his art you can feel a mix of sadness and a deep sense of good energy, his art is incredibly detailed and has a incredible composition on it.

His remarkable art makes him (for me) one of the best Mangakas in Japan, he has been even linked to Takeshi Obata and Death note's artwork. But overall, all his manga series were serialized in the Monthly magazines from Shueshia, inc.

I met his art when I read Tegami Bachi for the first time, I said: "Wow, this guy has a pretty clean art, it is really impressive!" Well, his inking skills were the things that got me in first, but now I look at his coloured artwork and I went really crazy, he has a powerful concept around colour. He usually uses a mix of warm and cold colours, when you see a yellow character or a red painted character from him you could somehow see some cold aura around that character. That's pretty enigmatic and one of the things that captured me from his art.

The respect I got towards him is massive, in some way he made me think "God, I want start my own Manga series", and obviously he has influenced my art. I invite you to see more from his amazing artwork on his Official Website or just read some of his Manga series like Tegami Bachi or I'll. He inspired me to become a better artist each day, when I see his artwork I think a lot about what I'm going to do next to reach somehow his level, that's one of the Manga artists I want to know someday, for sure!

Thank you a lot for reading this article! I hope this have been useful and interesting for you! Remember I'm writing a new each Monday and uploading some cool draws and resources on my Facebook Fan Page. Have a nice day!

Many of us have drawn pages and pages of our comics and still ask "Where I'm going with this?" And there's usually no response, so and many people have stopped and we are still inking our dreams.

For many if us the situation of comics/manga is quite complicated, because in the places we live is quite difficult to find someone to finance our comics or just someone to buy it because our culture is quite hangout in the 9th art. Many see the comics as childish, which is for children and should be in most cases a humorous theme and nothing else.

There's a moment in life when you want to organize your life, find a job or study a career, for someone like us it would be something like: ​​"I want to draw comics for the rest of my life". We tend to stray from reality, but that we tend to neglect the cruel reality when we have a great result when you draw something cool, and blame everyone and everything when something goes disastrous. The reality is this: you can create your own destiny regardless of the external situation to which you're linked.

I saw through the little time I've spent on this, people doing incredible things or they manage somehow to get known or just sell one or two copies of their work. Many have relied on his comic put advertising to finance their project, others have tried to achieve foreign publishers and publishing a short story to begin, others have saved money to publish a small number of issues and today is the day that reached to sell over 2500 copies at the local fair.

Are you good at what you do? If the answer is yes, now ask yourself this: It makes you happy? If the answer is also yes, I will say this to you my friend, never let your dreams die because if you keep chasing your goals you will be rewarded in some way. When I started this I was not expecting too much, I had the world against me, had few skills and did not know people who wanted to do comics or manga, however over time I have been rewarded with simple things, but each one of those means a lot to me.

Now look at the other side of the coin, you're good at what you do but it is nevertheless something that makes you happy, I recommend you to try harder, I am of those who do not believe in this "natural talent" I rather to believe that there are people who have grown up and been influenced differently to achieve their own style in less time than other people. The effort and the joy of striving for what you do always brings rewards, your duty is to know and value them echo on them for your next victory.

People will always be lucky, and those who were not born with the gift of luck we have almost an obligation to make our way through life to find that opportunity or just struggle to create it and get to where we are going tomorrow. World is difficult but not impossible, we like to draw or write, love it as a challenge, this is one more challenge that you have to beat!
