north wind and sun

"Dried flowers, etc." Pen

Many people are familiar with Aesop's fable, ``The North Wind and the Sun.''、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。The north wind and the sun do not compromise on which is stronger.、Pointing to a traveler walking wearing a thick coat.、``Let's compete to see who can take off his coat.''、That's the story。

Looking at the international community、The sun has gone far away and is missing。Only the north wind rises several times、We only compete with each other's strength。The strength of the north wind、Coldness has evolved far since Aesop's time.、Through a carefully planned strategy that makes full use of AI、The traveler freezes in an instant。

Who will take off their coat first?、The weak north wind says that should have been the rule.、``I don't need such rules,'' says the strong north wind, changing the rules on the spot.。I wanted to change the tyranny that was common in Aesop's time.、The fable he created has instead returned to its previous state.、what words will he say。

Strong winds were blowing all day today。Bicycle walking has recently become a daily routine.、I tried to go out, but a strong headwind forced me to leave quickly.。However, hotokenoza swarm and fill the edges of the road.、Daffodils are swaying here and there.。It doesn't seem like it's going to freeze anymore。The day before yesterday was a total lunar eclipse。I completely forgot about it、The sun, which was thought to remain far away,、I suddenly showed my face in such a place.。

Where the “hand” ends up

"Hand" Watercolor

Hands may be the most physical symbol that separates humans from animals.。Some people say it's the "brain"、Of course many mammals、Arthropods such as centipedes also have proper brains.。molluscan、In particular, octopuses are well known for their high intelligence.。In jellyfish and anemones、There are nerves, but there doesn't seem to be a specific part of the brain.。

It's a ``hand'' that we usually use without even thinking about it.、Once it becomes difficult to use even one finger due to injury etc.、You will notice that your quality of life will deteriorate over time.。Conversely、How much has civilization developed through the use of hands?、You can expand your imagination to。

Dogs and cats' front paws are not "hands"。The definition of "hand" is not clear、"Grab something、Do you agree that it is a part of the body that has the ability to operate tools?。The front paws of dogs and cats、The function of the front legs (scratching)、to hold down)、You cannot operate tools etc.。In that sense、The hands of great apes and many monkeys are fine hands.。
With that hand、Humanity has many benefits、develop civilization、At the same time, I have acquired a lot of knowledge.。The “ability to operate tools” is、On the other hand, they always create weapons that kill people.、That knowledge has led to the extinction of many plants and animals.。

And、From now on, we will enter an era in which AI will take over humanity's "hands and knowledge."。already、The hardships humans have in creating things with their own hands and brains、There is no need to study to absorb new knowledge.。Such beautiful "hands"、I don't have to hurt myself anymore due to work.。Follow your instinctual (animal?) desires、You no longer need to use it other than to press a button.。
The era of science fiction manga has truly emerged。A small number of "rulers" let computers control computers.、machines create machines、Computers will accumulate new knowledge from each other (without using complicated human language)。
What does a human being kept in a computer do? There's nothing more to do than war games or hunting games。You won't even be able to commit suicide.。

What kind of pen is a “felt pen”?

1January 24 (Tuesday) 18;00I was careless about introducing the video I reserved and uploaded to。It's already been 2 weeks since it was uploaded。Things that are unthinkable for people who use YouTube as a business。

When I started YouTube, I posted a lot of sketches using felt-tip pens.。outdoors、A small sketchbook is perfect for one-handed sketching.。A pen is more convenient than a pencil for sketching while traveling (once you get used to it)。There are several types of pens、The most popular ballpoint pen。Ballpoint pens from a while back may have ink pools.、It seemed like it was only for text, so it couldn't handle tilts or speed, so it could only draw flat images.、Ballpoint pens have also evolved considerably.。

The felt pen、Compared to that, the number of people using it is probably less than a fraction of that.。Ordinary people almost never use it。Many people have never even heard the name.。When we think of pens, we all think of the type of pen that drips ink.、The felt pen、A type of pen that rubs ink soaked into cloth.、The image is similar to “magic ink” or “marker”。That image doesn't connect with the painting.。

There is almost no “rich feeling” of “plenty of ink”。``Feeling plenty'' paints a picture、Not limited to not drawing、many people like。The ink coming out of felt-tip pens looks poor in comparison.。In a sense, it may be natural that it is not popular.。
But、This "weakness" directly leads to "ease of use" when sketching.。suddenly dark、No surprises means fewer failures。And that "poor ink" is suitable for expressing perspective.。For example, a ballpoint pen、strongly、stable、in a monotonous line、It is difficult to express perspective using only lines, but、A felt-tip pen is handy.。This may be the greatest advantage of felt-tip pens.。please、get used to it、Become a sketching friend。
