weight of paper

"Face" study: The whiteness of the bridge of the nose and the whiteness of the background are the same...don't you think so?

often use a sketchbook。Sometimes I stack it on the side or stand it up as a sketchbook.、After drawing, I often cut each piece out and put them in a plastic bag.。Whatever you do、I can't leave it floating in the air、It will accumulate in some way.。Sometimes when I move them、feel the weight of paper。

The weight of each sheet of paper is not that important.。For example, if one sheet of high-quality watercolor paper weighs 300g/m2.、Approximately 0.08㎡ for F4 size、24、Only 5g。I don't write long letters these days.、It's about the weight of an envelope.。39~40g for F6。It's no big deal though、Even so, 100 sheets will be quite heavy (equivalent to 5 to 8 books)。Sketchbooks are often purchased in bulk.。5-6 books at a time、20book、30Sometimes it's a book.。100I have ordered books in bulk.、It was too much weight for one person to lift all at once.。

How many sketchbooks have I used so far?、If you add up the size, it's probably a considerable number.。Considering the number of pages、The number of sketches will be more than ten times that number.。And、Multiplying the time spent there、I feel like I'm starting to see the path I've taken in my life.。There are some things that I carelessly skipped over.、There are some that I drew carefully over a long period of time.。Apparently, the questioner thinks that "the concrete result of sketching" brings fun.、In any case, a lot of time is packed into a single piece of paper.。Only 24g、39It's so heavy that I can't laugh it off.。

By the way, the price of paper has also increased considerably.。Even if you aim for a bargain, it will cost you a lot of money.。When I looked up the 10th size watercolor paper sketchbook on the internet, I found that、The lowest price seems to be around 6,930 yen for one standard domestic Watson paper (300g/m2).。Number of pages is 15。462 yen per piece。The world-renowned Arche paper sketchbook (also known as。(The size is different from the Japanese style) is 20 pieces for 16,000 yen。800 yen per piece。Moreover, most papers、Starting from the beginning of the year, prices will continue to increase from last year.。If you change the time you drink alcohol to the time you draw pictures、Although it's good for your health and your pocket,、There is no doubt that it is a considerable burden.。The weight of a piece of paper、not to be underestimated。

I want to pace the video

1 frame while editing the video "Drawing a woman's face"

In the classroom, we are planning to feature people for a while.。last time、When I tried to give a “quiz” to the watercolor people、All of them were able to draw well、As the questioner myself, I was surprised.。When it comes to being able to draw anything in your own way,、It's not that much though、Still, I don't think I'll have any technical problems drawing normally.。It's a big deal。

right now、I'm editing this video。Finish it quickly、I would like to upload it、Trivial errands continue without interruption。Work is slow to progress、Repeating the vicious cycle of further stress。

Speaking of stress、I washed the dishes after breakfast today.、Immediately after sitting in front of the computer, my chest started to feel tight (I felt like I had just walked out of breath)。It's not really a task since there are only a few dishes.、For some reason, my body felt heavier.。When I measured my blood pressure, it was 147-82.、Pulse 72 (it was high in the morning too, but 128-74)、Pulse 61)。My heart、It is in a state similar to when you are jogging.。1It took a while, but I finally recovered。

From before 3pm、garden tree branch cutting。1I was sweating a little after working for about an hour and a half.、This is also not something that can be called excessive.。Nevertheless、Immediately after it ended, my chest felt tight again.。When you measure it、My blood pressure is 155-96 again.、pulse 82。in my case、When you exercise, your pulse rate increases、It is normal for blood pressure to drop significantly、I'm having trouble deciding what this means.。10If you measure it every minute, it seems to be gradually calming down.、Recovery is extremely slow (for exercise)、Get back on track in just a few minutes。2145-91 even after hours、69)。When I remember、3The same thing happened during my walk the day before.。At that time, I thought I was walking at a fast pace.、maybe it wasn't。Is there something wrong with the pacemaker? for a while、I guess we'll have to wait and see.。 

Prototype

Prototype 1
Prototype 2
Around the eyes

2 prototypes from yesterday。same model。The above is a very rough drawing.、Later I added a simple background using oil pastels etc.。I consciously used gradation etc. below.、Somewhat carefully drawn。

Because the direction of the face and the atmosphere are different、Although it is not possible to compare、Prototype 1, which was drawn quickly with a large touch (brush stroke), is better.、Doesn't it look like it's growing somehow?。

Actually、As you can imagine by looking at the bottom photo、Prototype 2 uses a slightly thinner brush for fine details.。Prototype 1 only uses one thick brush.、Prototype 2 has two brushes.。I just have to use different brushes.、Naturally, you will have to pay attention to the overlap of colors.。I can see multiple thin layers overlapping around the eyes.。

It is said that the whiteness of the paper is the most important color for watercolors.。Prototype 1 takes advantage of this.、I wonder if that means that。2It is unavoidable because it is a backlit expression.、That's how difficult it is、And it is difficult to create a lively feeling.、Generally speaking, it can be said that it is not a very attractive viewpoint.。You can learn many things by trying a prototype.。
