Follow your own “likes” without lying

In 101 Japan Creators' Showcase, we will explore the secrets of creativity from leading experts in various fields who practice “living with what you like.” This time it's illustrator Atsuko Kikuchi.

While raising children, Kikuchi Atsuko keeps a picture diary every day from 4 in the morning, and has grown as an illustrator. We will get closer to the secrets of creativity, always keeping an eye out and drawing fun and cute illustrations in our everyday lives spent with the family.

Kikuchi Atsuko says that she simply draws things she likes in order to shape the “cuteness” in her head. This may be the secret to empathizing illustrations.

In addition to the interview, Atsuko Kikuchi taught me how to layer to accentuate the texture of hair and clothing using denim fashion coloring kits selected by herself.
