Otacool 4

Short review of artbook Otacool 4 from Kotobukiya featuring worldwide illustrators.

Kotobukiya is proud to present the fourth installment of the OTACOOL series, OTACOOL 4 Worldwide Illustrators.  This time Kotobukiya has teamed up with Pixiv; Japan's premier illustration communication site.

From over 1200 submissions, they have selected the best up-and-coming and forefront of illustrators. With entries from more than 30 countries here are some of the illustrations you can find in the book.

Do you remember the OTACOOL 5 -Worldwide Dolls design project where I was involved?

The illustrator's workspace and tools. Many illustrators are very skilled in photoshop and design software. Is your current workspace anyway similar?

In this edition many illustrators were from Asia, Europe and the Americas and particularly this one got my attention because it was from Honduras!
