Artistic Inspiration: Matsuri Hino (祭り日の)


Matsuri Hino is a Japanese author and illustrator best known for her world-wide popular manga series, Vampire Knight. It is a graphic novel series that she started in 2007 and just finished it this year.Unlike most mangakas (manga authors) who have assisstants to draw their architecture and scenery, Matsuri does it all herself.

She has been a big inspiration to me ever since I started reading manga in grade 6 and the reason why I started drawing it. I loved the way how Vampire Knight wasn't like the other feminine ones where the girl falls in love with the guy and they live happily ever after but instead it has action, mystery and leaves you in suspense for the next chapter. I admire everything about her from her stories to her drawings and wish to be able to draw like her.
