Kiss

Kiss (CG synthesis)

finished lunch、When I stood at the door to go out for a while,、A lily was reflected in the mirror.。This is the one I used as a motif for the painting.、The first flowers have already withered and been cut off.、What was then a bud blooms、That too withered away、was leaning against the mirror。

"It's like I'm kissing myself."。A screen appears intuitively in my mind.、I took a few photos with my smartphone。Added some processing to the background etc.。This is a composition that I would like to make into a work someday.。

The theme of "Narcissus" also came to mind.、If it were Narcissus, it would be daffodils.、I stopped doing that。Considering the situation, it means giving up = despair.、I thought about giving it a more romantic title like "good-bye."、I followed the first image again。Suddenly、For some reason I saw it at the Natural History Museum.、It reminded me of the whole skeleton of a whale.。

Hydrangea in Black 2—Reflexes

Flower part (CG) - Doesn't it look pretty realistic?

Further enlargement (CG) - It's actually quite sketchy.

About 30% of the way to completion。What I was concerned about along the way was、"You don't have to go through all this trouble.、Could there be a simpler and more effective method?。I don't want to waste time, but、Roundabout methods are not only a waste of time;、dirty the screen、This may lead to not being able to produce the desired effect.。“Brief” is definitely better.。

It's a reflex、That's when you need it.、It's like a ``gut feeling'' that allows you to choose the perfect method at the right time.。

When you get older、Intuitive inspiration fades、I am able to cover this by carefully formulating a plan (I am starting to do so)。Doesn't this mean that my reflexes have become dull...as I draw?、Suddenly、That's what I thought。

Of course, there is nothing wrong with taking a slow approach.。Rather than jumping into an image based on a shallow idea、The results are very stable。In terms of a baseball player's batting average,、If the batting average of a “random idea” is 10%、“Kneading” is less than 30%.。If your batting average is in the 10% range, it will be difficult to become a regular.、3It's a pretty impressive cleanup.。If it's a normal job, it's definitely better to "knead"。But what about art?。Even if the batting average is 10%、That one book is an attractive one that stays in your heart.、I guess that's the essence of art.。Training is essential to sharpen your reflexes.。It's dangerous。

Hydrangea in black

Hydrangea leaves (CG)

It's hard to see the image...。I'm sorry but、This is the best so far。If you could just be patient for a little while、Gradually, something that looks like a leaf (I hope it will start to emerge)。Originally, the concept was to draw dark-colored hydrangeas on a black background.、The screen display is darker than I expected.。Of course it's much brighter when I'm drawing it.。

So far, we have not reached even 10% of the planned finish.、Only the leaf part is shown here.、Now for the flower part。thinly、It may seem like I'm drawing lightly, but、This time it took much more time to draw than before.。It's already the second day、I still need a lot of time。Hand-drawing is much faster、I'm thinking of drawing it using CG (computer graphics).。

It looks like it will take a while to finish、Sometimes I want to show a part of it。For me too、It's a challenge。
