How to Draw and Color like Tanaka Strike

Note both translations and scans are mine. You are not permitted to repost outside of tumblr WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE. Ask permission for reposting before you do repost it.

Thank you

Step 1

Rough Drawing.

I start with a rough drawing. I decide how to express the gestural expressions of each character. This time, I wanted to illustrate like a character selection screen of a fighting game. That kind of Image.

Kuro: This is special you know

Step 2

Underlining

Next is underlining. Paper size is B4, ordinary copy paper. I’d adjust the position of the characters later, so I draw each character separately. I am using a 0.7 mm thick pen.

Step 3

Inking

Paste plain paper on the bottom of the copy paper with tape and trace the base with pen

During inking I mainly use brushes, since I can draw from a thin to a thick line with a single line, I like to use it with various pressure attached. For a Manga Manuscript, I use soft type round pen and G pen for small pictures.

For drawing 4 people, I draw continuously during the midday. Since I adjust the positions and shape later. From here, I will scan and continue my work on a PC.

Step 4

Undercoating

In Photoshop, after getting rid of the small pieces of garbage on the line art. We apply an undercoat. Change the layer of each part and then apply it. At this point I don’t mind the color. I paint it with easy to see colors.

Step 5

Shading

I’m deciding roughly the position of the shadow of the characters by letting sit side by side. I make a base layer that fills the whole silhouette with beige and add shadow with one color above it. While painting roughly I balance the whole picture. 

We prepare the shape of the shadow of each part. Because the pencil tool is easy to use, we use SAI software for this part.

Everyone is now shaded, I also drew the spear for Mahiru.

Step 6

Deciding the colors

Go back to Photoshop and decide the colors. Take the selected layer and use the color range made during the prime color coat. Create an adjustment layer to mask and substrate and shadow the hues. I change the saturation and add colors here.

The colors have been decided. Try to align all the characters. Usually when I need to draw various outfits I get very troubled. (laughing)

Step 7

Coloring

Go back to SAI. We will color using this program. I am using the watercolor brush tool. The setting is the base setting the program has already made for you. Use the selection tool to range each part and add a gradation with a watercolor brush. First is the, foundation.

Step 8

Eye whitening

I paint the eyes and shadows. Finally I add highlights and adjust the details.

Step 9

Finishing

I add a little color to the line drawing, I made the line of the skin part a bit brownish. I made the line for the hair and clothing violet or blue. Completing with the light blue color, blurring over the claws, tails and the fur.

Finally is to use one color to unite the four character. However we’re using different colors for each character this time. Orange for Mahiru, Mikuni gets candy pink, for Tsurugi I use purple and a pink

Step 10

Background

Placing the characters in Photoshop while thinking of a design you want, prepare the elements you want to put in. Like the Character name or the Character selection.

Since I arrange the characters and this I will make the background myself as well. I’ll do my best. (Usually I leave the background to the designers.)

I applied a gradation of white -> light blue -> black on the back and put a white stripe over there with an opacity of about 60%. We will decorate each element using the layer effect in Photoshop.

I multiplied the diamond shape part for the character selection. In the background i overlay the images with each character on top. Finally I fit the the images of each character into the back square.

Allow me to say this once more. DON’T REPOST THE SCANS OR TRANSLATIONS. Ask permission first if you wish to upload this to other sites than tumblr.

Sample 1

Sample 2

Sample 3:

Sakuma: It all began with one suggestion from Jitsui…

ｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘ

Sakuma: For today’s homeroom, we would discuss what we would be doing for the School Festival. Is there anyone who has a suggestion?

Jitsui: Me!

Sakuma: Jitsui!

Jitsui: A horror house.

ｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘ

Miyoshi: Amari! That coat of paint there is off by 3 millimeters!

Amari: 3 millimeters, aren’t you mistaken? Stop being nitpicky!

Miyoshi: I’m just very meticulous about things like that.

ｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘ

Sakuma: Losing to Jitsui’s threats–…, I mean, enthusiasm, D Class’ act would be a horror house. And since the School Festival would be in a week, all of the students classes has been devoted to preparing for it, but…

ｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘ

Sakuma: Jitsui! Is everything going smoothly? If there’s anything I can help you with, just tell me.

Jitsui: Thank you very much!

Miyoshi: Amari! The ones you tacked on the wall are slanted.

Amari: Eh~! No one would notice!

Miyoshi: I would notice!

Jitsui: Well, I don’t know if it’s going smoothly or not, but in any case, I want to make this horror house a success!

Sakuma: Ah, yeah!

Jitsui: I want the guests who will come out of it to say, “We realized that rather than ghosts, humans are even more scarier!”

Sakuma: Stop it! Just what kind of gimmick are your trying to pull?

Fukumoto: Jitsui, I want to ask you something.

Jitsui: Yes?

Fukumoto: It’s about the things that would hang from the ceiling. Should I prepare some konyaku?

Jitsui: Hm… that’s too cliche, I think that would be boring.

Amari: Then what about itokon? Tamakon? Or what about sa-shi-mi~?

Jitsui: We’re not talking about cooking ingredients.

Miyoshi: Sakuma-sensei, do you have anything in mind?

Sakuma: Well, when I was a student, when we did a horror house, we used wakame.

Miyoshi: That stinks like the sea, so that’s rejected!

Sakuma: You’re the one who asked me, so at least cooperate!

Amari: Is there anything else that would make one go “uwah~!” when touched in the dark?

Jitsui: I… during the field trip on our first year, a half-asleep Fukumoto grabbed my hand and saying “Maron-chan”, that made me go “uwah!”.

Fukumoto: Please forget about that!!

Amari: Huh? Then should we hang Fukumoto up?

Kaminaga: Ah! You’re the person who broke Miyoshi’s mirror earlier!

Sakuma: Urk! I–… I’m really sorry about that!

Tazaki: You know each other?

Jitsui: Earlier this morning, Sensei and Miyoshi-san bumped into each other at the corner. And because of that, Miyoshi-san’s precious hand mirror got broken.

Tazaki: Ah, so that’s why he’s in a very bad mood today. Miyoshi: I’m not in a bad mood!

Tazaki: You haven’t even fixed your bedhead yet.

Miyoshi: Tch—!! I would’ve fixed it if only I had my mirror!

Sakuma: I–… I’ll be taking the attedance, so please take your seats!

Kaminaga: But don’t you think it’s great, we were just talking about bumping into a transfer student on a corner and it really happened! That’s awesome! Though too bad it’s with a guy!

Odagiri (via LINE): Thanks for your hard work, triggering a flag! LOL

Jitsui: Though no one needs a flag like that with a guy. Also, Odagiri-san, can you like stop using LINE and speak out instead?

Odagiri (via LINE): It’s troublesome to open my mouth. Jitsui: Do you have lead inside your chin?

Fukumoto: Are both of you unhurt? If ever you guys hit your heads, it’ll be better to go to the hospital as soon as possible.

Kaminaga: This guy’s head is broken in the first place, even if he hit it, it’ll be probably be fine.

Miyoshi: Are you picking a fight with me, you Paripi guy?

Kaminaga: The guy who sets his hair for 2 hours every day is definitely the one who’s cray! You narcissist!

Jitsui: It’s the usual pattern.

ｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘ

Hatano: Are you freaking kidding me?! This is all your fault!!

Amari: But I thought that road would be a shortcut~!

Dazai: Don’t fuck with me, you’re with the Mafia, swimming is a common skill

Atsushi: *casually swimming*

Dazai: ATSUSHI-KUN ARE YOU ALRIGHT THERE COULD BE SHARKS IN THERE OH MY GOD I’M COMING TO HELP YOU MY SON HANG IN THERE!

[somepinkthing]

ok new soukoku. I get it. We need to defeat this fyodor guy because yeah he looks like he’s gonna be serious trouble. It’s reasonable to take precautions and set up a new vanguard. I know. But there’s already a perfectly functional soukoku in place? I’m finding it so funny that the thought of making up with chuuya was so incredibly impossible to dazai that he was willing to go through the monumental effort to find a friend for akutagawa, of all people, just to put together a soukoku when there already was one. In my mind, I know there’s probably a perfectly good reason they need a new pair but the other part of me thinks dazai totally was like “nope no not gonna make up with chuuya never gonna happen. what are my alternatives?” and that’s how we ended up here.

[senren]

this time, he didn’t leave
