Yoroshiku onegaishimasu. O genki desu ka? Gomen, watashiwa nihongowo amari umaku
hanasemasen. (^ ^);; Watashino iukotoga wakarimasuka? Anata wa eigo o hanashimasu ka?
Watashino namaewa Natalie desu. I am a girl student from the U.S.! When I first saw your artwork, I thought it was very kawaii and sexy. Kirei desu!! But then I saw a video of your story, and I was so amazed and shocked! o.o I never would have known that you could draw such beautiful pictures with your mouth! Shinjirarenai!!! You must be a very talented person to draw like that. Your story is inspirational to me and many others. It shows that as long as you have hope and keep trying, you can accomplish anything! Never give up! ^____^
I love to do artwork myself, but only drawing on paper, not on the computer. I wanted to learn though, so I bought Photoshop CS recently. I was worried at first because it seemed very confusing, but when I hear of your story, it gives me hope and I know that I can do it! I will keep trying to learn to draw with Photoshop and improve my skills.
I really love Japanese artwork and culture, and my dream is to one day travel to Japan! I hope that I can do that someday, so I am practicing my Nihongo... not that good yet though! But I will keep at it.
Chotto okiki shitai no desuga? About how long does it take for you to finish a drawing? Also, do you have any helpful tips for beginners at Photoshop? Osewani narimashita!
I hope to hear back from you soon, but I know that you are very busy, so please, take your time! :) I wish you are happy and healthy and keep making beautiful drawings! Kiwotsukete ~

Hello.Natalie-san.I'm Shiro Kotobuki.
Nice to meet you. and welcome to my website.
Your Japanese is more beautiful! and perfect and very kindly, too soft.
As you want to lean Japanese, I want to learn English, too.
But, my English is a kindergarten level...(^-^;)
Next, please come to travel to JPN!
Adobe photoshop CS is very excellent application software.
But at first, You don't need to memorize all functions.
So, I am using only 50% of the functions of this software, too(^-^;).
First, let's use some kinds of brushes, a few layers and a filter.
Then, let's study other functions gradually.
Next, to be necessary is to make a favorite genre of drawing.
Landscape? Fashion design? Mechanic design? Heroic design? Young men?
Sexy girls? Cute children? Animals? Animate cartoon?
What is the genre which you like?
Let's try that first, and increase favorite genres gradually.

Hello.Natalie-san.I'm Shiro Kotobuki.
"Cute anime style" is pleasant and interesting genre.
and It very fit for PC/CG drawing style with Photoshop CS.
Another good Tips....
so,you know the video of my story,
this video is TV Proguram""Dejie-no-bunpo/the grammar of Digital painting "
and is series with about 20 artists.
This TV program makes one DVD of official CG Tips( I didn't add on this DVD).
It is only Japanese version, but I think it isn't so difficult...

Directors Hayao Miyazaki and Makoto Shinkai,
Wonderful!
I think your choice is very graceful, Intelligence, and so emotional.
"The Master " Hayao Miyazaki , I like him too very much.
My favorite films is "My Neighbor Totoro" "Castle in the Sky"
Incidentally, I'm a fan of Colonel Muska the villain of "Castle in the Sky" .
and, by the way at "Totoro" I notice Totoro didn't give back umbrella to Satsuki yet...(^-^;)
Makoto Shinkai, I have seem his film "Voices of a Distant Star" before,
so I have been amazed at this scene's high quality!
Several Landscapes , It's very Beautiful and that scenes let me Sentimental.
