Tribute to the Legends of Anime: A Digital illustration on Adobe Illustrator

In this heartfelt tribute video, join me as I pay homage to three legendary figures who have profoundly influenced my artistic journey: Akira Toriyama, Kentaro Miura, and Kazuki Takahashi. Through their iconic creations like "Dragon Ball," "Berserk," and "Yu-Gi-Oh!," these masterful artists have left an indelible mark on the world of manga and anime.
Throughout the video, I share personal anecdotes about how their work has shaped my artistic vision and inspired me to pursue my passion for illustration. As I delve into the captivating stories behind these creators, I showcase a step-by-step process of bringing my tribute artwork to life using my trusty Huion Kamvas 22 and Adobe Illustrator.
Join me on this creative journey as we celebrate the enduring legacies of these anime icons and explore the artistry behind their timeless characters and stories. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe to stay tuned for more art-inspired content!

Loved reading all of your stories about how these anime and creators impacted your lives while growing up. Thank you for sharing!

[@cool_beam_jr]

Finally someone who uses his talents and not a god damn AI to pay tribute 🙏

[@hexravenz8970]

Fact

[@trenched9747]

for real man, I get it they want to pay respect but it's annoying to use AI to pay tribute to recently passed people for likes especially to a mangaka

[@guigamii]

It's very sad to think that they use AI to pay tribute to an ARTIST

[@muriok2474]

Couldn't agree more, AI imagery is fraud. Tribute

[@OnionCurry]

theyre just scammers trying to get quick clout they don't care about toriyama at all

[@rocketmanart7964]

I grew up watching Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, and Yugioh. I was a big fan of both, and I had a lot of Yugioh cards when I was a kid. Dragon Ball was one of my inspirations for making manga.

[@ZyadDono]

Same as you 😞 ...except the manga

[@elizabeth4689]

you got each mangaka's art style down pat!

[@Jussmakeart]

R.I.P To the Legend. DBZ was the Anime show I watched and inspired me to Draw. His legacy will forever pass on. Great Artwork man

[@blazednova5268]

I bought the first 3 volumes of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Manga as a tribute to Kazuki Takahashi. As I was going to buy the manga, I looked behind to the other shelf which contained both the Berserk and Dragon Ball Mangas weeks before knowing the recent passing of Akira Toriyama.

[@BocahArt]

You're the best... Amazing art drawing anime style...

[@loicboyoguenothecanadianze8374]

I'm glad I was able to find the artist behind this, this is amazing, I wish I saw this upon release. I legit broke down in tears before at the news and seeing this tribute. It really hits home ❤

Absolute masterpiece

[@user-ui1zn1mu7z]

10/10 💯 Beautiful and Amazing Video Keep up the good work Im Left Handed

[@itsantonioparker]

The 3 legends art is sick 🔥 great video

[@obiarne]

This video hits on all fronts: 1) Best tribute you can imagine. 2) I never thought about drawing full illustrations in a vector program. I use InkScape and I felt kinda restricted, so I thought my raster drawings in Clip Studio Paint were the way to go. But I love the way you put these characters together like it's a puzzle. 3) Using your own 'logo' as an artist instead of a signature. It's also something I should work on. Although I'm just an amateur drawing for fun and to relax, nowhere near the level you're on right now. But I want to say, big thank you ! For the relaxing video.

[@KensukeCreations]

Hey there! Thanks a lot for your comment. I totally agree that drawing for fun is essential to becoming a better artist. Drawing should never feel like a boring task that you have to do, don't you think?

[@Sheckson1]

Best Tribute ever, great work of art,but I got these on my mind,So what happened to Dragonball z now? I'm definitely curious how it going to be,

[@deandreconners4415]

Thank you for sharing. I see you go between pencil, pen, blob brush, width tool but what are you brush setting? Just calligraphy brush variable? Can you do a new video on you inking? Also why you don't do the flats the easy way of one big rectangle, select both line work and rectangle and just pathfinder substraction?
