kuktober 2020

Hello everyone! Though I always say, "How have you been?", What's up? Haha...yes.

By the way, from this October, I'm trying to draw the drawing series "kuktober" about the Austria-Hungary Empire (kuk means that kaiserliche und königliche Monarchie). This list is the lineup. The small training project for me has already started on my Instagram. I will keep to continue the series if I can during this Oct. (If I can)

Please check it ;-)!

WW1 Uniform Painting: AEF American officer

Illustration by Kumiko Sakaki

Hi everyone! I painted an American officer in WW1(AEF).
I was able to get some(a little) US air force information, so I tried it. Especially I would devote this artwork to my American friends who like the aviation history.

Sketches for my original BD(comic) project

original

Hi everyone!

During the recuperation, I submitted an illustration work to my client(it was so interesting, but was so mentally hard). I'd thank to all for your support.

As my close friends know,  I've drew rough sketches for making the BD(comic or the graphic novel) since some years ago.
After the surgery, I'm wanting to draw the sketch for my original BD again. Though I know that my friends know enough my thinking, It's NOT Nazi(I hate it) story. The story(like bildungsroman which is included some humor) of the German and the Austrian officers.

These are still very rough, but I'm glad if you like them(these are pieces of pages).

Drawing: Brodie Helmet in WWI

By Kumiko Sakaki

I heard that Brodie Helmet(Helmet, steel, Mark I) was adopted officially in the British army on March 27, 1916. Is it true? This original was Brodie's Steel Helmet which was made in 1915. Whether true or not, I have always wanted to sketch this helmet for my British friends. The shape is very unique.

Progress of my work – 途中経過

Hello, I'm Kumiko. How have you been?

Recently I've not able to draw my project illustrations and stories by the office work and other health events. According to the Oriental astrology, this year seems bad fortune for me. Surely I have experienced depression, and God of shopping is friendly to me...No no, lol.

I just showed the progress of my artwork. This is a part of it.(taken with iphone) I'll paint this later.
