Dima Dmitriev's series of Illustration 'Japanese' was inspired by all things Japanese. Dima loves Japan so much that he was inspired to draw people that reminds him of Japan. Scroll down to see more of his illustrations.

The project "Japanese" is a personal project of mine. Recently, I drew the logo associated with Japan, where there were a few recognizable symbols of this country. And later I had the idea to draw such a mix of people and animals are associated with Japan. It happened quickly and spontaneously, many things I haven't drawn before. The best and most interesting design is when you're not stressed. The most important is the inspiration, if present, the process proceeds with ease.

The process of design is very intuitive, the main thing is to think less and strain. Ideas and forms will come out if you are imbued with the theme. The idea of the project arose unexpectedly. I had no clear objectives. Before this project, I drew a lot of sketches/painting associated with Japan. I just love Japan, its culture and art. love the Japanese. They themselves are very inspiring. Very beautiful and emotional people.

Style is also an intuitive thing. it occurs spontaneously. I paint in the classic cartoon style. sometimes in a realistic style. In this project I tried to combine cartoon with elements of realism.I was inspired by the Japanese culture. I love Japanese movies, and of course, the stunning cartoons Hayao Miyazaki. It's very simple. The most important thing is practice and hard work. You need to constantly learn to improve your skills. Draw what you like, what inspires you. Don't be lazy, learn and work hard.
