\u30fb Move the light-colored fur so that it starts a bit farther down. Think of it as growing from the back of the hind leg.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\nStep 4: Completion!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u2015Tell us about the sense of accomplishment that completing an illustration makes you feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Furusawa: I think other illustrators will relate when I say that once I’m done drawing, what I feel is mostly anxiety (laughs). “Is this good enough?\u201d \u201cWill the players like this?\u201d And so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I never finish illustrations right before the deadline. I complete them a few days before the deadline, let them sit for a while, and review them over and over. After fine-tuning them enough that I feel I can\u2019t improve on them anymore, I hand them over to Creatures Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What really makes me feel accomplished is getting feedback from the players. Or rather, more than accomplishment, I should say that I feel relief. But despite this relief, I go through my past works and take notes on things that could have been done differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2015Do you look for reactions on social media on the day the cards you\u2019ve worked on are released?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Furusawa: Oh, I do! I definitely do! (Laughs). After all, my greatest joy is seeing the players enjoying my illustrations. That positive feedback is what makes me feel rewarded for drawing. Each individual Pok\u00e9mon has lots of fans, and nothing makes me as happy as seeing those fans pleased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
