Illustration experiment: Dawn over Mount Fuji
on February 7th, 2009
This is what happens when one reads too many books about Hokusai an Hiroshige. One gets in the mood for drawing Mount Fuji. So here you go, a couple hour’s work, my Dawn over Mount Fuji illustration. Click on the thumbnail to see the large version.

And now I should go back to work I suppose…
I have never seen Mount Fuji up close, but it looks really great, especially the details in the cherry blossoms. I don’t think I could have come up with that in one day!
Nice illustration! A friend of mine is working on a photoshop image with Fuji and a wave. I am not sure exactly how is seeing it but I cannot wait to get the results.

That’s great good work-it will be on my desktop in 5 Minutes!
I was in Tokyo and osaka in november last year and it reignited my passion for Japanese graphic design and all things fishy and raw;)
you did mount fuji and cherry blossom in a couple of hours? it’s beautiful, my favourtie images of Japan and you’ve captured them perfectly.
Looks like Hokusai has rubbed some of his magic on you. And that, simply by reading too much about him? Amazing.
I like Hokusai’s works, too. Short of paying a ransom for his originals, the good news is that you can find good quality reprints of Hokusai online
wow, thanks for sharing! this is going straight on my desktop ;)
@Mother Pucker Hockey Yep, I just uploaded a 1440x900px version.
Wow, pretty impressive. And all that in a couple of hours.
I also like these drawings of mount fiji. They make you dream of illumination.
I like it… any chance of a widescreen version?
