Once you land your eyes on a painting, big or small, that you believe must have been created with all of the painter’s heart and mind, don’t you find yourself wondering what went through the painter’s head when they were drawing it?

Today, we're featuring illustrations that depict people whose "painting is in progress". Their imagination is still expanding and it knows no bound. Enjoy!

Today, we’re featuring illustrations tagged with “one-hour drawing”, or “one-draw” (ワンドロ) for short. These people spend those 60 minutes facing their own world. Enjoy!

Today, we feature illustrations “recommended” and you’ll want to enlarge them all to view all of the accompanying details. The illustrations are drawn in a way that the viewer can get a sense of the joy the artist put behind their work, so by all means please enjoy them!
