Description

"Hey, Hase-kun....  I like...

FIREWORKS!"


                ...I'm pretty sure Yuki emotionally died a little on the inside when Kaori said that to him.

                More One Week Friends fanart.  Told you I was on a binge.   I finished this one basically the very next day after the other drawing I finished.  That's the fastest I've ever pushed anything so detailed out so close together like that.  It was fun being on such a roll for once!

                This is based on episode 8, the one with the notorious quote from above that makes fans of the series want to scream from its teasing.   This is one of my favorite episodes of the series.  It's very sweet, and there's lots of beautiful scenery in this episode -- sparkling ocean water, beautiful sunsets, and starry skies.  This show goes all out with its scenery artwork; it's amazing and inspiring.   My absolute favorite part of this episode (one of my favorite moments of the whole series) is when the gang get fireworks and sparklers to play with.  It's a such a simplistic, cute scene accompanied by heartwarming, soft music.  The sparklers all look so pretty, and you can clearly see how much fun all the characters are having together playing with them and goofing off.  Shogo and Saki teasing Yuki by pointing the sparklers at him while he tries to run, and Yuki playing around with the sparklers to be silly, a little grin on his face as he plays around with them with Shogo.

                It's just a really cute scene.  I really wanted to draw something based on it.  Thus, we have Yuki and Kaori playing with sparklers together on the ocean-side.  Yuki's just being all silly and goofing off with the sparklers like we see him doing in the anime, and he shares his flame with Kaori to light hers, inspired by the scene where she asks him to lend her his flame.

                At first, after only drawing Yuki to begin with, I wasn't all too confident with going forward to finish this up.  I drew the characters on paper -- I made the drawing too big and had to cramp it, so Yuki's feet got cut off. xD;  I had to draw in the rest of it with my tablet after scanning it to color.  I honestly wasn't planning on making any fancy background, either.  I was just gonna add a simple circle or abstract blob in the back, but it just didn't seem right for a scene set at night-time.  Wasn't sure how painting a whole background was gonna work as it's not something I'm terribly used to, but I was able to pull it off, so I'm very satisfied with it. ;u;  The ocean and sky were very pretty in this scene in the anime, so I tried my best to reference some screenshots and emulate that pretty look.  Making all the prints in the sand was very new to me as well.  Painting in the scenery was all challenging, but it was fun experimenting with it!   I also had a heck of a time figuring out how to shade the characters.  Figuring out how to shade by the light sources from the sparklers, on top of keeping it dark enough for being a scene at night was difficult.  I think I pulled it off in the end fairly enough.  I'm happy with it. ;u;

                Everyone wears neat outfits in this episode as well.  Drawing Yuki in his was really fun; he looks good in that outfit.  The sparklers were fun as well. 8D

You should!   It's really heartwarming and sweet.  A lot of people said it made them cry, though it didn't get me quite that hard. xD  But it did get me in the feels.  My eyes did get stingy once, really close to tearing up, and a scene in the manga that I peaked and spoiled for myself after watching the anime actually did make me tear up, even though I still prefer the anime more.   It's grown on me, and I've come to really love it.  It's just a very pure, heart-touching story.


And yes!  More love for fireworks.   You'll get to see a lot of pretty scenes with them in one episode, haha.

This is absolutely stunning! The sparklers are so vibrant and really 'pop' out (no pun intended ). Both Yuki and Kaori look like they're having a great time. I also really like how you drew the ocean like it's reflecting the stars! The lighting details in the sand are great, too.

Man, I loved this episode. I should go back and rewatch it! Like you said, it's filled with beautiful scenes, and it's such a heartwarming episode.

Aaaaah, thank you, Melissa! ;u;  Hahaha, I'm glad you like how the sparklers turned out.  I tried to make them look as pretty as they did in the anime. cx   Pfffft, "pop" out.   I'm glad they do, though!

Hnnnng, I'm glad you think so!  I really wanted to make Yuki and Kaori look like they were really enjoying themselves, in order to reflect how much fun everyone appeared to be having in the episode. ;u;  This drawing was a bit unusual for me to do, painting in the background, especially with the ocean and sand.  So many details to work with.  I'm used to making starry skies now, but the ocean and especially the sand were different to work with and learn how to do.  It was a new challenge for me, but it was fun!  I'm glad to know it turned out well. >u<  I tried my best! ;u;  I appreciate it!

I loved this episode, too!  It was one of my favorites in the series.  It was indeed a really beautiful, heartwarming episode.  Everyone was just so sweet and having so much fun; it was really wholesome and pleasant to watch.   Re-watching it would be a lot of fun. xD  I want to as well sometime.
