This is such old news and I'm sure someone else already mentioned this, but this claim about the spots giving the animators trouble is such a lie.
Like... based on their other works Toei's animation staff is clearly capable of animating much more complicated clothing patterns?!?
Ladybug's spots is nothing compared to all those flowers in that kimono 🙄
i love your coloring so much, it's addicting!! may we see your drawing process?🥺
Thank you! Honestly, coloring isn’t my strong point, so I’m really happy you complimented it! 🥺💓
I haven’t studied art formally, and my coloring style is mostly intuitive, but I’ll try to explain my process clearly!
Recently, I started making a color sketch before starting the main coloring. It’s a simple but important step. Don’t choose colors randomly, and sometimes switch to grayscale to check overall brightness and balance. My coloring style doesn’t involve layering colors for depth, so planning colors beforehand is especially important for me.
I’ll explain using my most recent drawing—the Kuma family driving!
In that illustration, I first chose pink, blue, and yellow as my main colors. When picking these, it’s good to choose colors that form a triangle on the color wheel. You can learn more about this from books on color theory. Usually, I pick about three colors, but two or four colors also work. Having a color palette reference book is very helpful!
Next, I roughly applied the colors I’d chosen. At this stage, it’s really rough 🤣🤣 For example, blue for the sky, yellow for the car, and pink for the characters’ skin and hair. So, my main colors became pink and blue, with yellow as an accent.
After that, I made a rough color sketch. Here, I try to stick closely to the original three colors and avoid choosing colors from very different hues. This time, I wanted to express a summery sky and atmosphere, so the background is bright, and I made the characters darker for contrast. Additionally, I imagined backlighting, so I added highlights with colors close to white. Because the car was yellow, I used warm colors for the rim light. If the car had been blue, I’d have chosen cooler colors. Rim lights look nice when they’re slightly brighter and more saturated than your base colors.
Personally, I think you don’t need to strictly follow the light source. Sometimes I even add fake highlights if I think they look good! However, too many fake highlights can look unnatural, so it’s important to keep them moderate and still keep the main light source in mind.
I used the color sketch as a reference to paint the base colors. (Sorry, the background was already merged at this stage, so I can’t show that separately!)
After painting, the character colors looked a little too pale, so I adjusted them with tone curves. Higher contrast gives a stronger summer feel!
Next, I painted details according to the color sketch. My style is mostly anime-style coloring, so I use a hard brush primarily, but I occasionally soften some areas like skin.
First, I added highlights and rim lights.
When viewed in grayscale, Ginny and Bonney’s faces were blending into Kuma’s body. To help their faces stand out, I added brighter colors around their faces. In situations like this, I often use layer modes like “Soft Light” and “Color Dodge,” but feel free to choose your favorites!
Next, I added shadows and further emphasized bright areas for balance.
Now, onto finishing touches!
I mainly use
Screen (for adding gentle overall lighting)
Soft Light (for slight brightness or color adjustments)
Overlay (I didn’t use this time, but it’s great for increasing saturation)
For example, I used the Screen layer mode to add some yellow-green lighting on the right side, to represent sunlight.
With Soft Light, I adjusted areas where characters overlap. I added pink around the hair and a yellowish tone around the skin to clearly separate the characters when viewed in grayscale.
But honestly, I often overdo this step, making the picture feel vague or fuzzy. Looking at this again… yeah… there’s room for improvement. Anyway, don’t overdo it! 🥺🥺
Finally, I slightly adjusted the overall color (lowered saturation because it felt a bit noisy), added a gentle glow effect, applied some noise, and sharpened it a bit—and it’s done!
Explaining this was a good way for me to reorganize my own coloring process! Thanks for asking! I’m not sure how helpful this explanation was, but I hope you have fun drawing too! ✨ I’ll try to record a timelapse video of my drawing process next time. But my computer slows down a lot when I record, so it might be tricky 🤣
Hello. In Hideyoshi's latest story event, it seems like he and Hanbei go way back. Like they're lifelong friends. What's the story there ? I know Kiyomasa and Masanori were already friends before they met Hideyoshi. Thank you, and have a nice day.
This is a long reply, because there's the meta answer and the lore answer.
I don't know if you've seen me say it, but the events are kind of random. The timeline doesn't add up, and stuff gets retconned in and out of the plot. So just take whatever the events say at face value and don't think too hard about it. The next event writer will hardly even know this ever happened.
IIRC in Hideyoshi's main route, Hanbei is only just hired as part of the plot right there on-screen. Meanwhile, in the previous events Hanbei was implied to have been there before MC showed up and then already retired and left, so the MC didn't know about him at first. He's almost never mentioned at all in the events too, except maybe one?
It's literally because the writers are often just part-time writers hired for one or two stories, and nobody seems to keep track of what's going on. Sometimes I doubt they even read the main story at all.
Only the main routes and the sequels were actually meant to have continuity. Even then I also doubt the sequel writers read the main story because sometimes the sequel contradict the original routes.
But anyway. Here's the lore reply.
It's a long-standing trope in general Sengoku fiction that Hanbei was one of Hideyoshi's earliest "personal vassals". As in they actually serve Hideyoshi directly, not Nobunaga. This particular event's writer is probably going off that lore. This is not historically true, Hanbei actually was Nobunaga's vassal that was just often assigned to assist Hideyoshi, but fiction is fiction.
He's been there even before Mitsunari, because age/timeline in history, so yeah. When Hanbei was hired, Mitsunari was like literally 8 years old IRL.
If you want to square this mess with SLBP, assume the timeline to be something like this (in the events, ignore the main route):
Hanbei doesn't seem to exist in the Mitsunari routes, and his role as something of a planner/strategist is kind of taken over by Ootani.
Which manga websites have an ojisan tag for manga? (￣▽￣*)ゞ hehe
CMOA was the one I was talking about. It's a manga store, not a free to read place. The tags had already changed now, though. Not sure if it filters properly.
Also look for "Oyajism" LMAO. That's an anthology dedicated to just older men content. It' doesn't 's already cancelled/ended publication, but I mean you can still buy the old publications.
What's this？ You can date Kamen Rider now?
I mean, it's one of those card gacha battle games and stuff, but the preview cards look kinda otome-leaning.
I don't know, LOL.

Oh damn, it's like the Magia Record magical girl game, each Rider has a short anime henshin sequence 😂😂😂😂
More games by “+ONE by Ikemen series”, Cybird's otome game lineup that isn't considered part of the "Ikemen series" (I really don't know what the difference is).

Their previous game was this one set in the Meiji/Bakumatsu era "Bakumeiroku":
