TANPAKUSHITSU (たんぱく質)
JapanTanpakushitsu is an artist known for their drawings of girls with large, overlapping eyes on notebooks and drawing paper. Drawing lines became a crucial part of his teens and twenties because it helped maintain peace of mind. The shape of Tanpakushitsu’s line has changed a lot over time and varies depending upon what ballpen was used, where it was made and who they were speaking to.
