With Desti providing the art direction, we worked on a series of anime inspired artworks for Anthem Publishing's line of adult coloring magazine, Colouring Heaven.
First, we came up with various themes that can be drawn. These themes range from Japanese fashion, anime tropes, festivals and youkais. Once the themes are locked down, the artist started working on coming up with designs that is suitable for coloring books.
You might notice that that might be some characters that look familiar. That's because we have deliberately used our own OCs such as Haru or Eroko as some of the recurring characters within the book.
These are some of the selected designs that we have come up with for the book.
Japanese Fashion
Anime Tropes
Japanese Culture
Japanese Youkai
On top of the designs, we also provided some basic write-ups on the themes that we designed for. We hope that these short write-ups will be educational for coloring book fans who are not familiar with anime!
