كتاب فنون Madoromi no Yume to Hikari no Hakoniwa من Mizutame Tori

The paper quality lets the ink colors pop exactly the way they do on screen, and I caught myself just staring at the character design pages for a good ten minutes. It's a hefty little collection that covers both her originals and commission work, so there's plenty to flip through on a lazy afternoon

The soft matte cover feels lovely in hand, and flipping through those past character design sketches is like a mini gallery tour. I've already spent an hour just staring at the shading details on page 40 alone.
