Parasol

Anime art benefits from parasols' style, tradition, and mystery. Two parasol types are common in anime fanart. During summer festivals, shrine maidens, samurai, and characters in beautiful yukatas carry the bamboo and brightly colored paper wagasa. Elegant princesses, gothic lolita characters, and rich noblewomen walking hold the second, a Western-style parasol with lace and ruffles.

A parasol alters an illustration's aesthetic. A perfect frame, it draws attention to the character's face. These scenes allow artists to play with light. A paper parasol may let sunlight through, casting soft, warm shadows on a character's face, while a solid lace parasol provides cool, sharp shade on a hot summer day. Swirling cherry blossoms, bold geometric shapes, and delicate lacework on the umbrella allow artists to showcase their detailing skills.

Because of their elegance, parasol-carrying characters are popular. Its refined, distant vibe is appealing. This collection of parasol fan art is perfect for your desktop if you like detailed art, elegant fashion, or traditional Japanese or Victorian style.
