Reconsidering “reproducibility”

Draw Koikeya potato chips(oil painting)

All of a sudden I'm craving potato chips these days.、It comes with chocolate and sweets.。By drawing "other than traditional 'painting motifs'"、Also in terms of subject matter、I'm also trying to make new technological discoveries.、This is also part of that。This time、Each motif is different、Forcing the same concept on every class。When I thought about creating a demo for every class,、I ended up continuing to create demo-related items almost every day.。

What I learned the most from、I guess it's me forcing the motif.。The place to search for motifs is also 180° different from before.、I started visiting several supermarkets and convenience stores in my neighborhood.。Even CG is more than realistic.、Attempting to create works in pursuit of photographic "technicality"。

From the desire to change the low-level common sense that photographic depiction = good skill.、Until now, we have intentionally avoided detailed depiction.。But、This may have caused me to be bound to the ``traditional'' style of painting, including myself.。From such reflection、“Rediscovery” of paintings including “illustrations” and from a realistic “technical” perspective、Deliberately focusing on photographic depictions。

Humans have an incredibly strong desire for "reproducibility"。You don't need to listen to the opinions of scholars; you can easily imagine it by just thinking about videos and records in music.。There is an "improvisational/abstract image" in contrast to reproducibility.、When we look at “logic”、Regarding “reproducibility”、The history of humankind's relentless efforts emerges。It would be too superficial to simply call this "boring or uninteresting."。Beyond likes and dislikes、It is also an opportunity to face each other again.、I think that。

Training - drawing chocolate pie

Draw Chateraise chocolate pie

I drew yesterday's "Chocolate Pie" for 7 hours today as well.、Finally finished it。Almost 2 days。I put anti-inflammatory tape on my neck.。My eyes are also blurry。Because we're just looking at the same distance、As soon as I step away from my desk, I suddenly can't focus on anything.。

When I finished it, I realized that I had done a lot of useless things.。This is also thanks to the recording storage function called "layer" that is always used in CG.。When I look back at this, I can clearly see where the work was wasted.。I need to be able to draw more efficiently。When it comes to paintings, if you do unnecessary things, the colors become muddy.、It's often said, but it's probably true.。This is drawn with CG、I sometimes do watercolor calculations in my head.、Doing calculations for oil paintings、I felt confused throughout the production process.。Because CG is meant to be viewed on a monitor.、If anything, it would be better to do watercolor calculations.、For some reason, I mixed in the calculations for oil painting.。

The calculation of ``watercolor'' means ``to see through the whiteness of the paper.''。In other words、If you use dark paint first to reduce the brightness of the paper、This means that the next color development will be worse.。In the case of oil paintings, "bright colors are made possible by dark colors"。Therefore、The idea of ​​expressing bright colors is completely opposite between watercolor and oil painting.。Monitors see colors based on the brightness of the backlight.、If you use dark colors on the screen first、The beautiful color on top “sucks in” the darkness underneath.。--This is the case with oil painting.、Use the "transparent technique"。First, make the ``bottom'' of the color you want to look beautiful to ``white''.。Once the white is dry、Put the desired color on top of it by making it transparent...for some reason、I had the impression that this technique would be used even though it was CG.。I think it's a kind of "blur"。

But、I was able to finish it anyway !(^^)! 。After I drew it, I looked closely and saw that there were 6 pies in it.、Is it around 300 yen? I think I bought it at。If it's a Christmas present for my girlfriend, it's too cheap!。But、If you look back and think about it、If you work for two full days, you can get at least anywhere in the country. 15000 As it becomes a circle、The unit price for this picture is 0 circle"。Is this the “artist’s (eternal) training”?。

(Reverse) effect of “CG sketch”

Draw a Chateraise chocolate pie (in progress)

I spent all day today eating this 2-300 yen chocolate pie.。Are you about halfway there?。(CG) hand-drawn、I try to draw what I see with my own eyes as much as possible.、This recent “sweets series”? concept of。Reflections from the transparent film wrapper can hurt your eyes.、I know that ``sitting for a long time'' impairs blood flow to the legs and causes sleep disorders.、I think that is necessary to express the transparency of the film, so there is nothing I can do about it.。

Hand-drawn CG is a strange way to say it, but、paper and pencil、The paint is CG though、たとえば直線を描くツールや、グラデーションをきれいに処理してくれるツールを使わないとか、要するに「描画」に関しては、「実在の筆や絵の具で再制作可能」なことを前提にするということ。画像とその制作プロセスをデジタル情報として保存することだけを目的にしたCGによるスケッチを、わたしは勝手にそう呼んでいる。

CGだから、うまく描けるということはある。first、「覆水を盆に返せる」。一度こぼした水はもとに戻すことができないという、文化人類学上数千年の「常識」をひっくり返して、失敗した線や色を簡単に完ぺきに消すことができる。いったん消した線を、数日（年でも）後完ぺきに復活することなど「常識」だ。他にもいろいろ有利な点はある。But、根本的にデッサンができない人が CGならデッサンができるようになる、という「魔法」はない。デッサン力は単なる描写力ではなく、観察力などを広く含む「総合力」だからである。絵は写真を下敷きに描けばデッサンが正確だとか、そういう次元で済むものではないのである。

But、たぶんCGで描く意味はそういう次元にとどまらない。描いている自分自身でさえ気づかないところに、より大きな意味があるだろうと感じるが、それが何かは今のところ自分でも判らない。1年前はCGで描くのが面倒で億劫。スケッチブックに描く方が（慣れているぶん）何倍も効率が良かった。Nevertheless、今は完全にiPadがスケッチブック代わり。iPadに限らないが油絵や水彩同様、CGであろうと描き方、塗り方の順序を変えると難しくなったり、簡単になったりするから、時々実際に自分の「手」で描いているような錯覚に陥る。それが生きている感覚に与える影響は些細に見えて、たぶん「小さくない」。

「CGの方が良い」と受け取ってはいけない。実作の大きな利点は「失敗する」こと。CGでの失敗は、数秒でリカバリーできる。But、実作ではそうはいかない。失敗することで、脳だけでなく全身が活性化する。そこが「魅力」だと解るようになったのはＣＧスケッチの効果だ、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。人が「失敗から学ぶ動物」ならば、「失敗しないＣＧ」はわたしたちを退化させる“絶好の道具”になるかも知れないですね（CGそのものはまったく否定していませんよ。Just in case)。
