Daily Video: 801-chan, Petit Eva Creators Draw on Wacom

The above videos were posted by Wacom, a company that manufactures computer drawing tablets and screens. The videos feature Tonari no 801-chan manga creator Ajiko Kojima and Petit Eva - Evangelion@School character designer Ryusuke Hamamoto using the company's Cintiq 21UX pen tablet, and is part of an ongoing series of such videos. Previous featured artists include Hidamari Sketch creator Ume Aoki, So-Ra-No-Wo-To designer Mel Kishida, Hatsune Miku designer Kei, and others.

Wacom also posted interviews with Kojima and Hamamoto. The fourth volume of Kojima's Tonari no 801-chan manga shipped in September with a "Tonari no 801-chan R" anime short on DVD. Hamamoto contributed to an original dōjinshi (self-published) comics anthology inspired by American comics, and he and other artists appeared at New York Comic Con (NYCC) and New York Anime Festival in October to sell the book.
