This is my contest entry for the charity art book created by:

-----
When I discovered this group, I was really interested by their aim: Making an art book which profits raised to a cancer charity which supports children and young people with cancer and their family.
Recently I did a Blood Donation as volunteer. I was always scared to give my blood as I don’t really like the view of blood. But I finally did it, because maybe with my blood will be able to save someone. This is an action which I've always wanted to do since High School (but well, I was not legally an adult and even after my parents did not improved my choice haha.)
In brief, this act made me realize that I can help people with simple things. Making an artwork in order to make children smile and feel better motivates me. I love drawing. For me, drawing can express many things. And show it in a charity form is one of the best ways. I hope if my drawing is chosen, it will make smile and give hope, support to the cancer victims and their families.

About the drawing:
I wanted to draw something warm-hearted, family affection, summer, with warm colours. As Earth theme, I had some difficulties to imagine. I'm not used to draw something related to nature. So it was like a challenge for me. I was thinking to create a new OC, but two of my Ocs are appropriate to my requirements. Oranges represents earth, freshness, sweet and also summer.
Both of the characters here are my Ocs: .
- The 8-year-old boy is Shin Naka. I already drew him at a more advanced age a few years ago: Nephew and Uncle . Yes, he is the teenager from my old drawing! And I know that he looks like Etsuji as child.
- Ritsuko Naka, she is Etsuji’s mother and Shin’s big sister. As you can see her large dress at her belly, Ritsuko is pregnant with her son.
I never introduced Ritsuko before, because she is one of my most important and cherished character. So I wanted to keep in secret before showing her. Actually, she also has a story about her life before getting pregnant.
Ritsuko and Shin share a deep siblings bond. Ritsuko was eleven when her brother born, so she cares a lot for her brother. Their parents cultivate Orange trees in Okinawa.

Playlist: . The Remedy (I won’t worry) by Jason Mraz, Save you by Simple Plan, Sing for me by Yellowcard.

Tu trouves? Je ne vois pas trop vu que je dessine plus autant qu'avant (ou plutot mes dessins reste au niveau sketch haha). J'aimerai tellement dessiner plus, mais avec tous mes machins à régler et à faire (généralement les études) j'ai pas trop le temps geh...
En tout cas, merci ♥! J'imagine que si tu trouve que j'ai progressé, ça doit être vrai :3
