Hello! I'm Toshi(ki) Nakamura, a professional illustrator/character designer in Japan who works on animated films/TVs and children's books.
Another daily sort of routine art vlog is here! You can watch me sketching a character later in this video, so don't stop till the end:) I hope you'll enjoy it! Don't forget to like and consider subscribing to the channel if you're interested in future videos:)
現在は日本を拠点に海外のアニメーション映画、テレビ、CMのキャラクターデザインをしたり、絵本のイラストを描いています。英語力維持も兼ねて、英語vlogを投稿し始めましたが、今後は、海外の出版業界やアニメーション業界についてやtipsやチュートリアルなど、日本語での発信も考えています!ご興味ある方はチャンネル登録頂けると嬉しいです!

    its good to see an artist who exercise as part of their routine, sitting all day drawing will destroy your back.

    I am a comic artist and I used to just sit from waking up to bed working. My body got injured all over from sitting too much doing the same movements and not getting enough exercise. I wasn't overweight so I thought I was okay but it caused so much damage. All of us who stay in the game end up fixing our lifestyle in the end haha. My doctor also said I absolutely needed a sit/stand desk as I was getting vein problems and it's a great thing to do if you can.

    I began my art career later than others around 27. I know people who started even later, so don't be discouraged if you need time. Take your time and figure out what you'd really like to do. I wish you all the best and hope I can make some content that might help you somehow:)

    Hello! Good video man, if I can give you a tip/idea that I don't know if you can do in a next video, and it's if you could talk about what it's like to live in Japan being Character Designer and Illustrator, I'd like you to give your point of view since I would like in the future to live in Japan as a character designer, concept artist, you know... Again, good video is relaxing and quiet, I like it.

    Almost 100% of my work come from overseas, so I might not be the suitable person to answer that question, but if you have the right portfolio or reel, you should be eligible to get any creative jobs out here in Japan. For foreigners, you might need some sort of degree for visa, probably?? Hope this helps!
