色鉛筆画家 Toshi

バックパッカーとして世界45ヵ国をヒッチハイクなどで旅するなか、アートの世界に興味が沸き、動物の色鉛筆画を独学で学ぶようになりました。

幼い頃から動物が大好きで、国内外の農場でボランティアするなど、様々な動物たちがいつも身近にいる環境がありました。動物たちとの出会いはかけがえのない思い出です。

僕の絵を通して、飼い主さんと動物たちとの絆を深める手助けができたらと考えてます。

My name is Toshi. I’m an animal portrait artist from Japan.

In my twenties, I traveled to 45 countries as a backpacker, often hitchhiking my way from place to place. During those journeys, I became deeply interested in art and eventually discovered my passion for drawing animals with colored pencils. I’m a self-taught artist.

I have loved animals since I was a child. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to spend time with many different animals, including through volunteer work on farms in Japan and abroad. The encounters and memories I shared with those animals remain very special to me.

Through my art, I hope to make people a little happier and help them cherish the special bond they share with their beloved animals.
