So what I've chosen to do, because the layout of these preview images are sort of confusing maybe, is do this sort of thing:

That way I've got it broken down into segments, and it's clearer which parts I'm referring to. With that in mind, the first image:

1. (Segment in red) "His own testimony!"

This is talking about the DVD! apparently it's going to be 53 minutes long. I can't read a damn thing in the Jump image next to it, it's too small and the image quality isn't clear enough for me to make it out.

2. (Segment in green) More stuff about the DVD, introducing who the mangaka is, release date, and price.

3. (Segment in blue) The beginning of Togashi's art process! This is the sketch/under-layer. He uses a mili pen (it's an inking pen), coloring lightly. Next he uses a kabura pen (another inking pen). It's described as a unique method, and Togashi apparently explained it in a very hoarse voice. (Way to worry me with your phrasing, Shonen Jump!)

4. (Segment in purple) I can't accurately translate this, because part of it is cut off - it's only sentence fragments. Something about (presumably Togashi's) sensibility, and the beginning of Togashi's name. So, there's definitely... something, there, but I don't know what.

Second image:

1. (Segment in red) This is just saying it's the Jump Ryu with Togashi-sensei.

2. (Labeled as 2 on the image itself) Togashi-sensei uses a pure pen next.

3. (Same but with 3) Coloring - Togashi paints Kurapika using acrylics!

4. (Same but with 4) Pen (It literally just says he uses pen - I assume this means this is the lineart segment, based on what it says next).

5. (Circled in green) Finishing touches are done in pen.

6. (Circled in blue) Full image (It says "duplicate of the original", but I think this is a way of saying it's a picture taken of the image, rather than a scan of the image itself. Maybe it means Togashi re-draw the picture for the special? But I don't have the context there.)

7. The drawing process for this illustration will be shown in the video.

I'm gonna take a crack at the third and fourth images tomorrow!
