Water temperature (warm)

From the screen while editing "Geranium composition"

The water used to wash dishes now feels really warm.。The other day the temperature was 27 degrees、Temperatures around midsummer in some regions。30Some regions have already reached the peak of summer.。gas fee、Nowadays, electricity price hikes are a hot topic.、I'm glad that the weather is getting warmer and heating costs are going down.、beyond that、I'm starting to worry about summer cooling costs.。

“Corona” is by no means under control.、The mood in the world seems to be over。Is it in response to the government's wishes?、The media is also busy with reports encouraging holidaymakers during Golden Week (although it seems like they don't call it that anymore these days).。It is true that we have been self-restraint for about two years now.、I just went through a life of self-restraint.、government、Demands from the business world to stimulate consumer behavior、The mood of common people who want to experience a sense of freedom is the same、It is not incomprehensible that it will rise as the temperature rises.。

over the past ten years、I never went out because it was a long holiday.。Crowded everywhere anyway。If so、While resting at home、I decided to take care of the errands that have been piling up.。But、I rarely actually got any work done.。What I'm thinking now is、After all, when it comes to going out, it might be a good idea to go out.。Energy that defies crowds、I think you can develop an active spirit that allows you to enjoy the crowds itself.。I regretted that I had become so lazy.。Although、It's not like such opportunities only exist in crowded places, though.。

in short、I feel like I've lost the ability to act。I feel like I often feel like a bystander when it comes to everything.。“Super” belatedly、one by one、I want to restart my mind and body.。It's getting warmer now。here we go、Let's start early、Let's finish the unfinished editing。

About Squis

In the classroom, we recommend Squiss.。This S-key is for the "geranium composition" from the other day.。There are several others。There are about 3 "geranium compositions" themselves.。

When you say “Skys” is an “idea/sketches”, it is close to reality.。in short、A method in which you specifically consider ``how to draw'' before starting the work.。Not only the motif itself、Consider the surrounding areas as well.。Emphasize ideas over “composition”。This stage can be considered the entrance to "creation".。

The most important thing when doing Squishy is "not to describe"。The “describing brain” and the “idea brain” probably have different brain cells working in them.。I don't have any ideas when drawing、When I'm thinking, my description doesn't progress.、I think everyone has already experienced it.。
Related to that、Time spent drawing Squis、Spend no more than 1 minute on each part.。Draw in a few seconds if possible。that's why、Not a big sketchbook、memo pad、The size of a notebook is suitable。In the example above、The position and size of the flower and pot are set in two circles for 5 seconds.。The position and size of the table (actually a wooden chair) can be determined in just 30 seconds.。That shadow for 30 seconds。The diagonal line in the background is 30 seconds。Total drawing time: 1 minute 35 seconds。however、A few minutes between each session to think and come up with ideas.、sometimes even tens of minutes。1I don't mean that you should draw one page in minutes.、Please avoid any misunderstandings.。

Esquisition is essential work to improve the level of your work.。But、As long as you just enjoy drawing itself、First of all, it's not necessary。Especially for those who are only looking forward to the light colored sketches.、Even seeing and hearing it can be frustrating.。Just for creation purposes、This work is necessary only for those who want to improve their work.。
This is a kind of "shedding" in painting production.、Once you cross it, you will never be able to go back to being the person who never knew Squis.。You can't go back from being a butterfly to a chrysalis.。The Esquis Consciousness will always come into play somewhere.。But ok、、It's not a bad thing at all、While I was drawing a lot、Sooner or later, that kind of nerve will develop.。
but、As such、Don't you think the Esquise itself is visually interesting? If so、It's really killing two birds with one stone.。

rehearsal

"Rehearsal"、In a word, “dry practice”。Almost the same content as the original、Execute on schedule。So、Things I was curious about、The problem that came up、(Final) preparations to resolve before the actual event。music related、If you're involved in theater, it's probably everyday language.、Probably the same goes for people involved in events.。But、paintings and sculptures、Among print experts, etc.、I've never heard of it。At most, it is a "study" for partial practice.。

I started making videos、I started to "rehearse" (not every time)。

“Art is basically a once-in-a-lifetime event.”、For artists (like me) who believe that "one-shot success is the essence"、Although it is similar to a comedy story such as "Dry Drill"、I've come to understand that rehearsals have great meaning from the perspective of making videos.。but、But when it comes to creating a video of a painting by yourself,、A certain kind of contradiction arises in my heart.。of course、Even if it means something for the video.、Not everyone who makes videos rehearses.。Rather, like painting, the basic idea is to take one shot.。

in the same way、In the past few years, I've started to take Esquis more seriously.。When I was younger, my work was already completed before I started playing esquis.。Ideas come to mind one after another、I had the stamina to do it, so I made a beeline for it and made a beeline for the goal.。take a detour、Literally "straight ahead" without even checking.。Of course there are failures、There were some things that needed improvement, though.、It's more fun to move on to the next step with momentum than to fix it.、it seemed natural。
now、エスキースを描くようになり、リハーサルをするようになったのは歳のせいばかりでもない、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。Curling seems to be called "chess on ice"、「完成度」という尺度が自分の中に入ってきたからだと思う。そんなものが必要だとも思わないのに、いつのまにかそうなってきたのが歳のせいと言われれば、そうなのかもしれないし、動画製作という（わたしにとっての）新しい分野からの“刺激”なのかもしれない、I also think。
