WILD FLOWER: Shunya Yamashita Illustrations #2

Information:

Description:

This book is the second artbook from Shunya Yamashita.  Again, most of it are female characters & some of them are repeated throughout the book.  All the works have references as to where there came from.  The illustrations are in full colour & black & white.  Most of the drawings are in soft watercolour like appearances. It's not very heavy & the colours are in a mixture of dull & bright depending on the drawings.  The lines aren't solid as you can see them breaking apart.  The book even covers some photoshop processing on a couple of the works as well as comments about his works.

There are a fair amount of sections in this book.  Aside from his original published works from physical sources such as magazines, books, figures, etc, there are some unpublished ones here as well.  In other words, they are shown to the public for the first time.  The artbook is geared towards an adult audience as it contains nudity & sexual poses.  There are no sexual acts involved, just poses.  There are no censorship in the book as there are no private parts shown.  Either way, this book is best kept in a safe place regardless on how nice the artwork is.  However, there isn't a lot of them in this book.

Speaking of the artwork, the human body is drawn beautifully as Shunya is well known to drawn the human body well in terms of the proportions.  However, most people may find the female characters better drawn than the male ones even though the males are drawn well.  I think it's really about how people are attracted to the opposite gender as the main readers/owners would be males.

If you are a fan of Shunya Yamashita's works & like sexy poses, this is a great book to own.  I personally strongly recommend owning this book if you can get it.  Shunya's work really drew me in to get this book in a heartbeat.  Although I like it, it's not too good as his first one a bit.
