What kind of picture do you imagine when you hear the word pen drawing? It is a detailed picture woven by contour lines, It's a realistic picture with a fine touch, The world born from a single line is full of possibilities. I started drawing with pen when I was in the third grade of junior high school. It was when I decided to become a manga artist with a style like Chiba Tetsuya-sensei. After that, I was moved by the "Kabashima Katsuichi Pen Art Collection", which was said to be a genius of pen drawing. I decided to devote myself to pen drawing. Since then, he has not lost to the variety of expressions of watercolor and oil painting I am trying every day to complete the "new pen painting". Jump beyond the framework of ordinary pen drawings, draw with white ink, color with transparent watercolor, Color expression with colored ink. Among the exhibitions of various types of works, in Japan, the "Minister of Education Encouragement Award", In France, I received a "Bronze Award" and a special award. It is surprising that he won an award for pen drawing in an international exhibition centered on oil painting and watercolor painting. And it was a great honor.
