Uesugi Sakura thought that since cooking wasn't his forte, at least he could make a nice drink for Hanabi.
"Hmm, looking for materials and references."
On Hanamaru Hanabi's computer screen, there were many pictures of foxes. Uesugi Sakura remembered she was designing a character of a fox lady for that light novel.
But seeing the screen, there was something he still didn't quite understand:
"Doesn't Hanabi have pretty amazing drawing skills? Why still look for references."
Uesugi Sakura noticed she would also observe other people's character designs.
"To deepen my impression. That way, I can learn from the predecessors while spotting inspiration and drawing unique elements. It's absolutely beneficial."
"I see. I thought at a high level, artists could casually create based on themes."
"Sakura-kun, actually no artwork is completely original. Everyone improves and supplements a certain image from reality, dreams, or previous works."
"No absolute originality?"
