Description

fanart of あの日見た花の名前を僕たちはまだ知らない
ano hi mita haha no namae wo bokutachi wa mada shiranai
(LOL that title is such a mouthful, short form is Ano Hana)

I love this series even though I'm not usually into this kind of stuff. Tsuruko is probably my favorite character. ; 3 ;
I don't know why this took so long to draw, but I'm kind of happy with the result.

Thanks for viewing! <3
Will likely be available at Otakuthon as a print ~

The composition of this piece is truly lovely and is one of the first things a viewer would pick up on. The circular motion of their positions and the ease of placement is easy on the eye and makes the drawing very attractive.
The lighting is also very lovely. The glowy feel makes the whole piece feel warm and sunny and happy. The only thing I would suggest for lighting and shading is maybe using some more complex shades for skin, as a lot of the skin is the same 2 tones. Using more depth in the shading would create a lot more impact upon the viewer.
The lineart is perfect, and there are next to no proportion/anatomy mistakes. Jintan's shoulder facing the shadow looks a little strange, and I think Menma's mouth & nose are slightly too high on her face, but other than that - perfect! I especially love the eyes. The contrast between the soft shading of the characters and their striking, shining eyes is lovely.
The only other things I would note are the small innaccuracies with the characters themselves - Poppo is quite a lot wider and taller, and Jintan's hair is longer. But Anaru is really very gorgeous.

While not the most original piece, it is a WONDERFUL representation of the characters and a beautiful work - be proud! Thank you for sharing, and I hope this helps somewhat. <3
