Description Just a little model sheet I threw together for an Azumanga Daioh comic I’m playing around with. I don’t want to give anything away, but we’ll just say they’re on another of their summer vacations. You may notice Kagura’s omission. I feel bad about leaving her out, but it just worked out that way for the storyline.

The model sheet isn’t much more than a cleaned up sketch, and as such it’s hardly very refined. It was conceptual rather than artistic. I did rather like Tube-Top-Tomo, however.

Love the style and they're easily recognizable

I keep spotting this in my Google Image searches. For such a simple drawing ('simple' as in B&W character sheet), it's a standout. 

It helps, of course to know the characters well. 

I like the way you've put your own stylistic 'stamp' onto them, while retaining their immediate recognisability. well done.

Thank you!

I actually need to redo this model sheed something terrible. I put it together really fast as a rough reference and really never cared for how it turned out. But it served it's purpose as a guide for other Azumanga Daioh images (some not posted because they're part of an unfinished story).

Thanks. Actually, I've been meaning to redo the model sheet since I didn't do a very good job of rendering them. It was mostly just a quick sketch as reference for other drawings. What possesed me to post the model sheet is still a mystery.

If it's a summer vacation picture, and Chiyo is happy and smiling, then Miss Kurosawa should be in the picture, because Miss Yukari obviously didn't drive Chiyo there...

That's pretty darn cool! Did you ever finish the comic?

Thanks! Unfortunately I haven't finished the comic yet, but it is on my "stack of stuff to work on when I get some time" pile on my desk. Actually, in the months since I started it (the first page is done, anyway) I've actually loosened my style a bit, so I'd have to start over anyway.

Omg, that's really good! Tomo's cute! XD I love her. And Chiyo-chan. And Ms. Sasaki, and...oh, what the hey, I love everyone! ^^ Great work! *faves*

Thanks!

I've been playing with a new drawing of the gals, but so far I've been pretty distracted with day-to-day stuff. It's in the stack of "must work on soon" sketches on the drawing table.

I just wish you could've added Kagura. She's one of my favorite AD charas...hehe.

I want to draw the girls in a less static pose. I imagine I'll include Kagura in the next one. After all, I have a cat named after her.

Sinamuna In reply to Captain-Galant [2006-09-13 22:48:17 +0000 UTC]

You should do all of the 'main' characters!
Sakaki, Chiyo-chan, Tomo, Kagura, Osaka, Miss Yukari, Miss Niyamo, Yomi, Kaori(n), and maybe even add Kimura (the creepy male teacher). HEY! You could maybe do a b/w comic scene with all of them being frieaked out by/mad at Kimura! XDDDD

Just a suggestion!

Anywho...look forward to more!

They're really cute! Being fond of the bookworm type myself I was particularly drawn to the girl on the far right. There are a lot of little details that are fun to look over. Thanks for sharing!

The Azumanga Dioh sheet is a little rough, mostly because I only intended it as a personal guide for a story I was/am working on with them. I oposted it as an after-thought.
