Another drawing was done this afternoon~
Inspired by Hanako Oku's song "Yuudachi (which means 'evening shower')".

I loved this song long time ago. Yet I suddenly got inspired by it a few days ago.
And until now, I don't know why... xD

Based on that song, the main element of what I was going to draw should contain the sea and sunset. Although the song title is "evening shower", I still prefer sunset. Because in the lyrics, most things are related to sunset not the rain. In my opinion, this song is depicting the scene after the evening shower~
At the same time, I was going to choose some songs for my characters from my (pending) story. I've done a few, but it's not easy to choose, especially when you want to do it on purpose. In most of times, I just follow my sense. This time, my sense told me, this song is good for one of them.
Yuka. A half-heroine. No any reason, I wanted to use this song as her image song... ^^; maybe I will talk about more in future, but right now, I have nothing to say...

Then I began to draw. Really, I'm not good at drawing in this aspect (downward). The right arm looks weird, but I don't know how to change it – I wish I had some large mirrors around my room so I could see myself as the model. xD
Anyway, I will improve myself, but this time, the drawing doesn't look that good. ^^; The rest of the working was not hard – coloring, shadowing, and merging. While looking for a good background, I've tried at least 6 candidate pictures. Each one looked good but none of them was superb until I tried the last one. Then, I tilted it, ohhh, the tilted version looks so nice! Better than normal horizontal version, I think~

For the part of lyrics – it's my habit to insert the lyrics of the song that at first inspired me. I typed it first, but there was no good Japanese font on my computer. Eventually, I decided to write it by hand – I did want a handwriting-like font but I didn't have one. Then that's the one you see now. The text was written by me. :P
Moreover, this was my first time to try shadowing my work by using a way larger character (make sense? xD). Though it looks fine for me, does it look strange for you? :3

My next drawing should be targeting on "Hontou no Oto / The Real Sound" the song by KOKIA. I've got my vague idea two weeks ago since the album's release, but I haven't decided how to draw it. Hope I can figure it out soon~
