She used the word “tanbi”, which I think also means aesthetics. In order to differentiate between tanbi and Sebastian’s bigaku, I’ll use the alternative spelling “esthetics” for tanbi.

During the Original Art Exhibition, I heard people saying “the drawings are very big”, so I think I’ll post a section of the colour spread from this month’s issue in its original size.
The data file is actually this big.
It’s about 8 times the analogue size.
I’m obsessed with adding things to the draft and I can’t stop myself once I started. I keep telling myself “I’ll definitely not enlarge it beyond this!” but keep breaking my own rules. (lol)
I also attempted a slightly different technique again in painting the colour pages.
A hollow and entrancing image of Sebastian’s corpse. I have always wanted to do this ever since Sebastian died so I thought I’d take this opportunity…this is my last chance. (Smile)
No matter, there is always some subtle difference in style and the editor keeps saying “which is your basic style I don’t understand”. (lol)
In pursuit of esthetics I tried to do a more realistic portrait, but received half-delightful and half-embarrassing comments from the assistant and family members who came to my workshop to take a peep.
“Scary!!!”
“Too beautiful almost feel like a curse”
「森の忘れ物系」
“Mori no wasuremono kei”
[Literally it means the forest’s lost things, or maybe lost lineage of the forest??]
Ahh you guys are so cruel.★
I intended to show details even the faint veins on the skin, but then I realised that “most people wouldn’t find it moe” so I finished it rather half-heartedly.
But in the end the texture turned out looking like veins. (Smile)
It’s summer so it’s nice to cool down a bit. (Horror Special?)
Speaking of Sebastian there must be roses! I think many people hold this view. But in fact I don’t often do the combination of Sebas and red roses.
There are quite a few scenes with roses in the anime but in the manga he isn’t associated with roses all that much.
More often than not I tend to draw roses and lilies with Ciel as a set.
However manga readers also associate Sebas with red roses, so I think it might be due to the association between England and roses.
I like roses too. For viewing.
Whilst in actual drawing it’s very difficult to get the balance right with this type of flowers. Not as difficult as lilies though.
Nonetheless in this picture the red roses overflowing from Sebastian’s clothes do not represent the flowers, but (beep) Ooops, being censored…
To put it simple, blood in itself doesn’t give a good impression in a colour image so generally it’s better to use petals and maybe ribbons instead.
Look, sometimes I’m told by the editor and some friends, my mind is old, I lack understanding in shoujo manga, I have no emotion, things like that, but in fact I have a fairly good sense of esthetics don’t you think? Look at this! (Elated)
