Debbie at the 2015 Anime Expo for Hulu

Last week, Debbie drew for 29 hours over 4 days at the 2015 Anime Expo in Los Angeles at the Hulu booth. Close to 100,000 people from all over the world attended this 24th annual event to see and experience the latest and greatest in manga, anime and Japanese culture. The people at Hulu requested that Debbie draw anime-style caricatures to help promote the wide selection of anime movies and TV shows that they offer.

Debbie is a lifelong anime fan and even lived in Japan for a while. She can even speak and read a bit in Japanese, so she really was the perfect artist to draw and entertain the guests at this annual fan expo. Using efficient coloring techniques to render the anime-style faces, she was able to average 4-5 minutes per face. Subarashii!! :)
