Review

"This first collection of Demizu’s work, The Art of Posuka Demizu features many of his outstanding illustrations from his career so far....Demizu’s characters are undeniably cute but are often tasked with navigating nightmarish landscapes. His backgrounds are complex, filled with details, but his pencils retain a loose quality to them. He combines the details of a drawing using color; limiting his pallet to only cool or warm tones. He also uses contrast to direct the viewer’s attention, with the most vibrant color being the central focus." (illustrator's Lounge, Manga Mondays)

"I know details and layouts when it comes to illustration and rarely have I seen such an incredible use of both." (Collector's Corner)
