[Comments on the award-winning work ]
I am better at drawing stag and rhinoceros beetles than I used to be. They land on our trees at home and eat lots of jelly for insects. |

About when did you start using computers?
When I was four years old. |
What was the reason you first started to use computers?
Because I wanted to color something. |
Why did you decide to enter the DCA contest?
Because I wanted to enter the contest just like my older brothers did. |
Could you tell us about some things you paid particular attention to, or worked hard on, your award-winning work "The world of rainbow; The world of beetle and stag"?
What I like is that the stag beetle is black and looks cool. Also, I like its red eyes. The hardest thing was to fix things up when a bucket got overturned in an area I did not want to color. |
Hiromitsu, your work was very popular among the Screening Committee members for its "pure power of observation and very good expressive power." What kinds of feelings did you want to express with this work?
In our house, my oldest brother has a bunch of stag beetles, and I see them every day. I thought that I wanted them to eat a lot of jelly and get really strong. |
How did you come up with ideas for your pictures?
From TV, picture books, and by looking at the insects we kept. |
What are your dreams for the future?
I want to be a person who does sports. |

| 1.His work was done on paper with pencils and then scanned onto a PC. |
 |
| 2.The software was whatever he felt like using at the time. But whatever software it was, he mainly used the "paint bucket" tool. For the parts where the lines were broken he used the "pencil" tool to fill in the gaps. |
|
 |
| 3.He used Adobe Photoshop Elements to put the finishing touches, and he clicked on various places and then chose whatever effects he liked. |
