以「花」X「女孩」為主題所描繪的華麗世界！由142張美麗畫作組成，12位新銳插畫家共同創作的插畫精選集！【訪談節錄】淵?——請談談您以「花朵」和「女性」為主題，描繪插畫的理由和開始的契機。當初之所以會想創作這樣的主題，是因為我開始會在花店買花裝飾居家。見到花從花苞到開花、枯萎的過程，我不禁猜想也許花是因為從一開始就知道自己將面臨何種結局，才會綻放得如此美麗……我總覺得那段過程和人的一生有相似之處，於是便有了現在的創作。——關於「花朵」和「女性」這個主題，您有特別喜歡的地方或鍾愛的植物、題材嗎？我特別喜歡雖然平易近人又簡單，卻能讓人聯想起各種含意這一點。花語、添上花朵的意義、色彩……這類訊息讓人的視覺和心靈都感到歡欣滿足。我最鍾愛的花朵是鬱金香。因為復古題材中經常都會用到鬱金香，所以總給人一種懷舊的氣息。我從小時候就很喜歡，長大後依舊不減對它的喜愛。——您在描繪「花朵」時，主要是以什麼作為參考？另外，描繪時會特別注意什麼地方？我是以真花作為參考。每當我想畫某種花，第一件事就是去花店購買。就我個人而言，和花一起共度是最能瞭解那種花的「樣子」的方式。假使不易購得的話，我會參考書本，或是調查布料、雜貨的花朵圖案。畫的時候，我會特別留意將每一朵花的個性和相異之處確實描繪出來。——您在描繪「女性」時，有什麼特別講究或注意的地方嗎？外表的表情固然重要，不過我特別講究的一點是將「女性」內心暗藏的糾結和心情融入配色之中。氣氛開朗的作品會增加顏色數量，氣氛沉靜且陰暗的作品則會減少色彩數量。另外，我畫的時候還會注意不要讓線稿顯得太僵硬。【訪談節錄】優子鈴——請談談您製作作品的流程。我主要是用鉛筆畫底稿，用細字筆畫線稿，用透明水彩顏料上色。我會以能夠同時進行底稿、線稿、上色的方式製作（01）～（03）。——您有沒有什麼在思考畫面構圖時的重點或建議？為了呈現出遠近感和立體感，我會特別留意姿勢和題材的配置。尤其關於該如何表現女性的手和手腕這一點，我總是會花很長的時間思考。——請談談上色時格外注意的地方和重點。由於手繪製作沒有退路，因此一開始我會謹慎地上色，不過到了最後修飾的階段，我通常會忽現湧現「這裡塗這個顏色應該會很漂亮！」的靈感，所以我會非常專注地一口氣完成上色。——請簡單解說這次的新作品「大花曼陀羅」（P117）和創作理念。大花曼陀羅這種花是以一般比較陌生的喇叭形狀往下垂吊，於是我試著以
