Youtube: Twelfth Night Speed Drawing

This Youtube video shows a person's drawing an anime style cartoon of a girl, with her male counterpart. There is no description as to whether it is a bother, or just the girl dressed up.  It is interesting enough to see that the illustrator related his or her drawing to the Twelfth Night.  This makes the viewer think that the person in front is the girl in back dressed up like a boy, just like in the play.  I really like this because it has someone show off their drawing and artistic skills, and they share it with others to see.  The video only had just over 200 views, but that is 200 people that would never have seen the video if the poster did not put it online.  Choosing twelfth night is an odd idea to turn into anime.  Most people who are into anime, wouldn't really be into the Shakespeare idea.  Or that would be the stereotype.  I would understand if it were a true painting, but this is an anime style.  You never know when someone will want to see this person's portfolio of work, and this will be great to show a future employer, as it goes through all of the steps.   It is also possible that the person who made this used a different idea as the title, but then realized it was twelfth night.  I personally just have a hard time believing that something anime would have been specifically created with The Twelfth night in mind.

Here is a link to the video:  Speed Drawing- Twelfth Night
