Yuji Kanamaru　Yuji Kanamaru

When I drew animals, I try to extract the unique forms of animals and express their human facial expressions and inner characteristics by passing my own filters once, rather than just observing and depicting them. I want to draw a picture that makes me feel nostalgic as if I had met someone I had met somewhere and had resumed with an old friend. I hope you enjoy the dialogue with them.
