This is for Yuuri Week Day 4: (Yuuri) On Ice Optional Theme B: Practice/Training
I had planned to just do a simple drawing of 1 Yuuri practicing his skating moves, but then I put the song Yuri on Ice on repeat and was motivated to draw 10 Yuuris. ^^; That song has magical inspirational powers. :P But it’s still the 26th in some time zones, so I managed to finish on time! :D And I had a ton of fun doing this, so it was worth the extra effort to make it a more complicated drawing! :D
My favorite thing about Eugene is that even though he’s constantly bombarded by terrible luck, he never gives up hope or gives into despair. He feels sadness, frustration, disappointment, etc, and he does reach points of wanting to give up. But he doesn’t let those feelings keep him down--he always finds a way to see the bright side. He fights back against life’s struggles with a genuine optimism and cheerfulness and then spreads that hope to those around him. ^_^ <3
Dandelions mean strength in adversity, so I feel like they’d be one of Eugene’s favorite flowers. ^_^
This is for Yuuri Week Day 6: (With my coach Victor, I’ll win with the power of) Love Optional Theme A: Home and Optional Theme B: Celebration
They didn’t show us the scene of Yuuri and Victor eating pork cutlet bowls together after Yuuri beat Yurio in their Hasetsu skating battle, so I decided to draw that for today! :D It matches all 3 themes since Yuuri’s love for Victor is what gave him that boost of motivation and confidence he needed to win that battle, getting to eat port cutlet bowls together was was what Victor promised as a celebration if Yuuri won, and the bowls come from Yuuri’s home! ^_^ Also they say home is where your loved ones are, so for Yuuri that’s Victor and his family! ^_^
This is for Yuuri Week Day 2: Friends and Family (I was finally able to realize that something like love exists all around me), Optional Theme A: Past and Optional Theme B: Animals/Pets
I only had time for a simple drawing today, but I had 11 ideas for this day and wanted to draw at least 1 of them. ^_^ So it’s 12 year-old Yuuri (for past) with Hiroko (for family), and Vicchan (for pets)! ^_^
I have a soft spot in my heart for Hiroko and Vicchan. ^_^ Hiroko both looks like and has a similar personality as my mom (I showed her a clip of Hiroko and she went “It’s me in anime form! :O “), and my family’s dog is a poodle mix that looks just like a darker-colored Makkachin (and thus similar to Vicchan too). ^_^
This is for Yuuri Week Day 2: Friends and Family (I was finally able to realize that something like love exists all around me) Optional Theme A: Past
Even though I already did day 2 (and all the other days), I couldn’t resist the extra chance to draw the friends part of this prompt for Amnesty Weekend! :D Yuuri and Phichit have the sweetest friendship, it’s seriously friendship goals! ^_^ <3 Since it doesn’t snow in Thailand and rarely snows in Hasetsu, I imagine that Yuuri and Phichit made sure to enjoy everything about snow days in Detroit, such as snowball fights! :D
This is for Yuuri Week 2017 Day 1: Terra Incognita (Unknown Land) Optional Theme A: Seasons! ^_^
I discovered this morning that this week is Yuuri Week! :D I probably won’t have time to do the rest of the prompts in time, but I had today off and wanted to at least do Day 1! :D So I drew seasons in terms of it being autumn, but also in terms of early vs later part of the anime season! ^_^ At the start of the anime season when it was spring, Yuuri and Victor sat on this bench super far apart from each other. They were just getting to know each other, and Yuuri was still closing himself off to others due to his anxiety.
But by autumn aka towards the later part of the anime season, Yuuri has learned to let Victor into his life and heart (which also matches up to the unknown land part of the prompt since his relationship with Victor is a new and unknown land)! ^_^ Their relationship has grown enough that now they’d be sitting super close and Yuuri would no longer flinch when Victor puts his hand on his! ^_^
This is for Yuuri Week Day 5: (No one in the whole world knows your true) Eros Optional Theme B: Rebirth
I think the first time the world found out about Yuuri’s eros side was during the dance-off at the banquet. :P I also think that dance-off was the catalyst for his rebirth as a skater and as a person because the combo of their dance and Yuuri’s “Be my coach Victooooooor” plea was the initial spark of Victor falling in love and deciding to coach Yuuri. Victor coaching Yuuri convinced him not to give up on skating and brought his skating career back to life, and their relationship helped Yuuri open up more as a person, see the love around him, overcome his anxieties, and become his best self. ^_^
This is for Yuuri Week Day 3: (Next time I’ll win) Gold (for sure) Optional Theme A: Dreams
A lot of kids start to dream about being athletes when they see the Olympics. So I like to imagine that when little Yuuri watched the Figure Skating part of the Winter Olympics it sparked his dream to be a professional figure skater! ^_^
