Description
This is my recent — finished about ten or a dozen days ago — work of Doraemon fan art, which had been my considerable effort. (Haha...) This was so hard that I had to draw this for a full month! I used to separate two areas using black things (e.g. pencil), but now it's not — I colored the edge of characters and some objects thicker than the other part. Also, I used watercolor pencil and made somewhat effects (I cannot explain what it is...) with Q-tips. And... the piano was the hardest, but after finishing, I thought, I've never drawn like that before: this is the best piano picture I've ever drawn.

In this picture, Doraemon, in tuxedo, is playing "Hungarian Rhapsody (S. 244) No. 2," composed by Franz Liszt, which is known for formidable technique infused with excellent musicality, and for characteristic "cadenzas" that differ from every composer/pianist. He is playing with Steinway D-274 in his solo recital. While he is playing seriously — like Tom in the episode "The Cat Concerto" — Minidora suddenly appears and then conducts Doraemon! However, Minidora doesn't behave like Jerry (from the same episode of "Tom and Jerry") — he doesn't disrupt Doraemon for some reason; therefore, Doraemon is NOT frowning for Minidora's conducting, but for the EXTREMELY DEMANDING PART: CLIMAX FROM HAMELIN'S CADENZA!¹ He is dropping his sweat even from his nose!

Actually this is my thumbnail for NWC (NoteWorthy Composer) playback video of Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2.² Before starting, I had to decide which picture (that must be Doraemon-ized later) is better to me. I had the two candidates: the first one is one of the moments from "The Cat Concerto,"³, and the second one is the picture depicting Liszt's monstrous technique and high fame.⁴ Then I chose the former and drew like that.

¹ For who don't know who Marc-André Hamelin is, or what Hamelin's Cadenza means: Marc-André Hamelin (b. 1961) is famous for his extreme virtuosity, so sometimes he is called SUPER-VIRTUOSO. He've played so many difficult pieces with his EXCEPTIONAL technique; therefore, his works are as difficult as works that he has recorded! Hamelin's Cadenza for Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 was composed in 1995, because he wanted to continue the tradition of composing and showing their own cadenzas, and there were FEW who really made their own works. Hamelin's one is known as one of the most formidable cadenzas, along with Rachmaninoff's.
