Even if you just say “painting”、The meaning may differ depending on who says it。For people involved in television, the screen is just a picture.、For people at a printing company, a photo is a painting.。For designers, design = painting, right?、For people of painting (fine art people), painting is not design.、There were quite a few people who said。I was once one of them.。

Fine art is art whose purpose is artistry itself.、In Japanese, it refers to "art"。Also called pure art。On the other hand, designs and illustrations are applied arts.、Or sometimes called commercial art.、It is explained as。From the perspective of “art supremacists”、applied arts、In commercial art, the works are not artist-oriented (spontaneous).、Colors and shapes may be restricted due to client's circumstances (not pure)、There was a tendency to view it as a step below in terms of artistry.。I think there are still many people who think like this in art groups.。

Gerhard Richter, one of the top stars of contemporary painting, said, ``For me,、"Everything you see is a painting," he declares.、Not just designs, but even things that are simply reflected in glass are called "paintings."。Measuring value using the ambiguous yardstick of “artistic quality”、Ignoring the history that many classical "artists" painted according to the orders of their clients.、I started to think that it might be a kind of arrogance to talk only about pure art.、I started thinking that illustrations, designs, and paintings are all good if they're good.。The meaning of “if good” also changes from “skillful/skillful” to “intelligent”.、sensory、began to place more emphasis on the ``poetic'' direction.。

Not just paintings or designs、Thinking about “visual expression” and expanding the framework a little。"no、Let's leave aside the opinion that "art is not just visual expression."。The basic elements of visual expression are ``line,'' ``shape,'' and ``color.'' (``Dots'' are included in lines.、"Shape" includes "face")。Texture can also be considered as one element.、Here, the "surface" has a rough surface.、Has tactile elements such as smooth surfaces、I interpret it as。this、How to use “line,” “shape,” and “color” to create “intellectual, sensual, and poetic” visual expressions.。For me right now、More interesting, such as the difference between painting and design.、I find it interesting。

30With frame-by-second video、CG sketch of my camera set for video shooting。Actual time it took was less than 2 hours。It took a surprisingly long time。Compared to drawing in a sketchbook with pencil + pen, etc.、It's unclear which is faster。The advantages of each are clear apart from speed.。CG can be used for other media、If you have a sketchbook, you'll definitely have it on hand.。

Although I am drawing quite hard,、when you review it later、I think it's normal to want to draw a little more here.。At times like that、Redraw as many times as you like later、The great thing about CG is that you can add things to it.。But、For those who have never drawn with CG、Maybe I can't convey the "awesomeness" of it.。I have no choice but to actually experience CG sketching.、It's also quite expensive、For people who are not good at computers (like me)、I can understand that there is some resistance.。

This sketch is、Natural light from the right window。slow start、exactly 3pm。The light is on the left、I can't turn on the light until I finish the sketch (the direction of the light beam is exactly opposite)。Considering the attenuation of natural light in the evening、I have to draw it quite quickly (I could just do it tomorrow)。Set a timer in your head and say ``sunset will be a little before 6:30.''。

first 3 seconds。I would be happy if people could see it and think, ``At first, I put the whole thing together roughly.''。

Recently、I can no longer draw a picture just by thinking about it.。In the past, I would just apply paint and the pictures would come out on their own.。until something comes into view、Fill it up、When the paint gets thick, you may need to scrape it off.、Wash it off、waiting until something comes out。Sometimes it takes time、Images come to mind one after another、You may run out of canvases。

Sudden、Fragments of people, landscapes, still life, etc. appear clearly on the screen.。I'll grab that and start drawing.、It is impossible to imagine the goal in advance.。When things fully appear、For the first time, I thought, ``What should I do next?''、think about the goal。In some cases, the person who appears becomes smaller.、Must be moved to the right or left。anyway、I don't even know what to draw、That's a crazy way to draw it、If you ask around, there are surprisingly many people like that.。30I've been drawing like this for about 20 years.。

After the death of a famous painter、I still see explanations like, ``That's how much effort they put into it,'' pointing out the sketches and drawings that were left behind.。That's fine though、I object to it being a "lesson" that says, "It's no good not to make that kind of effort."。Unkei and Michelangelo just happened to say the same thing.。“The sculpture is already buried in the tree (stone).。I just dig it out.”。when you read it、I was surprised that I felt exactly the same way.。When applying paint、Rather than painting, dig the surface with paint.、It felt like I was cutting it down.。

I don't draw like that now.、Or rather, I can't do it anymore.。First, I think, ``Let's draw ○○.''。そしてその中の3つほどの要素に優先順位をつける。１はこれが無いとその絵に意味がなくなるというほど重要なもの、３はなくてもいいが、あるとふくらみがあるかな、という現実的な「欲」。２はその中間。that's why、下描きもするしエスキースもする。かつてはそういうものは全くしなかったから、ほぼ別人になった感じがする。But、エスキース通りにできた絵は「死んだ絵」になってしまう。ひらめきというか、思いつきというか、それが無いと、絵の心臓が動き出さない。それが降りてくる瞬間を待つのは今も変わらない。
