I never thought that I would be much of a sketch collector. After all, Utena actually has cels! However, the more that I have collected, the more I am able to see the whole animation process & the work that went into making cels & the anime. It’s pretty fascinating!

These are various sketches from the TV show for which I do not have corresponding cels. I tried to place these in the order that they appear in the series.

Mikage Dueling Utena Portrait - Ep23

Beautiful portrait shot of Mikage dueling Utena! I love how detached he looks, even in the middle of a duel. Bonus: nice view of his rose as well
