Today is setsubun。例年なら2月3日なので、うっかりすると春を1日失ってしまう人がいるかもしれない。節分の翌日が「立春」で、暦の上では春になる。「二月」は一番寒い月とも云われるが、俳句の季語ではそういうわけで「春」に入るのだそうだ。
今日もパソコンでCGの練習。昨日覚えたことを、今日は完ぺきに忘れてしまう。自分の頭どうしちゃったんだろうと不安になるほど記憶力がなくなっている。練習で作った画像はパソコン上に残っているからやったことはわかるが、どうやってそれを描いたのか、描いた記憶自体がないこともある。ちょっと怖いです。
上の絵は「レイヤーマスク」という、基本中の基本のツールを使って描いた。10年も前から知っているのに、使えないまま今日まで来てしまった。まだぎこちないが、やっと半分理解できたような気がする。４９点？まだまだまだ。
コロナ感染拡大による緊急事態はどうやら延長されそうだ。こちらは一層厳しい「冬」が続く。まったく気が滅入る。絵でも描かずにはいられない。
I tried drawing with a different software than the other day.。Illustration software usually comes with a video guide called a ``tutorial.''、I'll do it after I see it、Not once has everything gone smoothly according to the instructions.。Stuck from the beginning、It can't be like that、I watched the video again and again、Still, for some reason it doesn't always work as per the guideline.。After thrashing around、Even when I think I finally understand、It can take several more hours to reach the beginning.。According to the manual, it only takes 1 second to pass.。Before, I would have gotten angry and destroyed my computer.。I'm still pretty irritated、I'm starting to think that's an idiom.。
Most software developers are not painters or illustrators (apparently)。Designers also “demonstrate how to do it” in tutorials、(Because explanation time is limited) Everyone explains quickly at their own level.、Beginners are understandably confused。Just knowing that、My computer gets scratched a lot less.、My blood pressure has also stabilized.。
Learning new things requires a huge amount of time and effort.。Considering the knowledge and understanding of computers、It seems I need three times more perseverance than the average person.。Currently in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic、I think I just happened to be given that time.。
like many people、My life has also been greatly affected by the coronavirus.。Despite the painful effects、I started walking like a different person than I did a few years ago.、I also learned a lot of information from the radio while walking.。I accidentally replaced my computer.、We have also introduced various software。
If you think about it、With or without the coronavirus pandemic、I should have changed myself sooner.、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。If there was no coronavirus、I may have lost my last chance to change myself (even if it's actually too late)。From the perspective of human history、It seems that viruses also contribute to the evolution of many forms of life.。-I find myself nodding my head slightly.。
Recently、Sometimes I watch AGT (America’s Got Talent) on YouTube.：American newcomer discovery program。It all started with the UK's ``UK got Talent''。I'm impressed that there are indeed "geniuses" out there.。Although many of the people appearing are singers.、Even for someone like me who admits that I don't understand music.、"This person is、It makes you feel that what you have is different.。Is that what it means to be a “genius”?。
Effort for ordinary people、environment、genetics etc.…Everything feels like it's necessary、It makes you think that “talent that was bestowed from heaven after all!” is something from another world.、That's "genius"。What they have in common is “absolute trust in themselves”。And one more thing、The ability to “go to a place where you are accepted”。moreover、“Humility” that can be called calm。Geniuses are not extravagant for some reason.。that's a new discovery。That's also attractive。
Genius is often compared to a high mountain.。from a high mountain、You can clearly see the peaks and features of the mountains below.。I think he was at the foot of the mountain、I'm not sure which peak is higher。Of course, the people at the foot are ordinary people.。-This analogy applies not only to the height of the peak.、It also implicitly conveys the importance of the foothills.。The importance of the “foothills” that support geniuses.。Maybe you could call it a fan、In any case, such people make geniuses "geniuses".。Creating a stage is not the work of a genius, but the power of the fans.、I think watching this program。
On the other hand, genius is like a wild orchid.、I also feel。Orchids are a kind of defeated species among plants.。lose the competition、It is a life that has chosen to live in a harsh environment with little nutrition.。Their place is in the inconspicuous darkness。There are many people who love it、difficult to grow、With plenty of nutrients and light, it won't grow into a large tree.。Suddenly、For some reason I think of Edith Piaf。
