Yoshimoto Nara is a contemporary artist that is known for his illustrative pieces that often depict children.
While some of his pieces are extremely detailed, such as ‘Missed Autumn Rendez-Vous’, my favourites are the ones that take advantage of his bold linework and simplistic character designs; as I feel that is what distinguishes his style from other artists.
I really like imitating Naras style, as I find it to feel rather fun and freeing to work in such a way. I think in the future I would like to attempt to incorporate some of this minimalistic style within my own work.
