Akira Toriyama : (3) " ‘Dragon Ball”s villains were easy to draw: Piccolo, Freeza, Majin Boo. " - Akira Toriyama " With manga, in my art style, I don’t do much in the way of techniques to create depth. But even though I don’t do depth techniques through my art, I am conscious of depth itself. " - Akira Toriyama " I wanted to change up the tempo and setting of my comics in the sense of giving them some variety, for one thing. So where, for ‘Slump,’ the art was very America-esque, in the case of ‘Dragon Ball,’ I made it as Chinese as could be. " - Akira Toriyama
