I’m usually pretty prompt with these entries, generally doing them about a month out. I’ve been slacking off recently I guess, since next season’s only a week away and I’ve already been beaten to this by some far more thorough entries than my own. Anyway, here’s a list of the upcoming shows next season (beginning in July) which I intend to be watching or at least have enough interest in to check out seriously. As usual there’s a few others which I’m also going to keep an eye on and I’m sure there will be one or two that I won’t be expecting at all.

Part two of (hopefully) four. Got the two easiest ones out of the way first. Coincidentally my two favourite characters, though I like them all. Should have the last two done by the end of the week. Since Hiro’s hair is so complicated I imagine she’ll be the hardest so expect Sae next.

I noticed earlier that Spoon released a sub of the Hidamari Sketch specials and that jogged my memory. Back about six or so weeks ago when I finally finished this wonderful show, I had taken some screen grabs of the four Hidamari Sketch girls with the intention to trace them, since the art style of the four was quite appealing. Basically, this is the first. I’ve tried to replicate the halftone-esque pattern that they used to colour everything as best I could, and I think it turned out nicely. I may do a lines-only version at some stage too, because the linework on its own actually looks pretty good. 1920×1200 only, sorry. A 4:3 crop would end up losing most of the image.
I’ve promised to do Miyako next. And before someone asks, sorry, Yoshinoya-sensei wasn’t included in the same style. I’m happy to do a trace of her if someone has a good image, though.
First trace (and first blog post) of 2008, yay.
