The Japanese people’s “passion” for cherry blossoms is “super” special.。This kind of "abnormality" is perceived as normal by ordinary Japanese people (including myself).、The starting point of this abnormality may be the "elementary school cherry blossoms"、I think that's what many people have said.。as far as I know、I have never seen a school without cherry blossoms in the schoolyard.。Even if there is something like a "digital elementary school" that does not exist in real space,、There must be a cherry blossom somewhere on the screen.、I even think。
Furthermore, the timing of flowers。Many major events in childhood often involve school.。Among them, admission、Graduation gives children a special meaning as well.。There are always cherry blossoms in the background。The Great East Japan Earthquake occurred in March.。Cherry blossoms in full bloom immediately after the earthquake、Because of its freshness, it brought tears to many Japanese people rather than joy.。Cherry blossoms are not just flowers、It is also a symbol with deep feelings.。That's what、Making it even more difficult to draw cherry blossoms as objects。

In that sense、Almost 100% of people、I seem to remember drawing (or being forced to draw) cherry blossoms once.。And more than 90% of them、How should I draw it (other than just painting it pink)?、You must have had a troubled experience。The same complex I felt when I was in elementary school has remained with me forever.、I still can't resolve it。Besides,、As a landscape, it is too ordinary and it is difficult to find a new perspective.。Compared to my love for cherry blossoms、There are rather few pictures of cherry blossoms in public exhibitions.、I think that's probably the reason。

3/29I posted "Spring Riverside" with the same motif on my blog.。These two pictures were drawn separately.。The picture above is the first、The bottom is the last one。size and proportion、If you look closely, the composition is slightly different.。To begin with, there is no distant house in the original photo.。

Because the first one was a failure、2The second one、3Did you draw the second one?、That's different。to each、There are things I like and things I don't like.。That's why I draw。Fix what you don't like、It's a little different from。That's that、this is this。With the intention of making it a little better、What will happen if I do this?、Can you draw something like this?、It may be similar to "interest" in oneself.。

Don't you get tired of drawing the same thing over and over again? It seems to be said that、I don't feel like I'm drawing the same thing in the first place.。Rivers, trees, banks, etc.、They are drawing different pictures except they use the same elements.、That's why I don't get bored。On the other hand, when you don't feel right、Even if it's the first one、 Even if it's not "boring"、Sometimes I lose interest halfway through.。
When you can draw multiple pictures、Something must be touching my senses.。what is that、You won't know unless you try to draw it.。

This is a pen sketch that I have been drawing for a long time.、Lately, I've been having a bit of a "my boom" within myself again.。Once you start using a small sketchbook, you won't be able to stop.。The other day, I drew an entire sketchbook (about 17 pictures?) in one day.。still、I wonder how much I can do、I regained some confidence。

In the past, I have drawn about 100 outdoor sketches in a day (less than 500 in a week).。Sketching is faster than taking photos、A story about when I was full of confidence.。From early morning until dusk、Draw the front, back, left and right from one place、Draw while walking or running、Traveling by car and immersing yourself in sketches。The memory of this time is still vivid。I was young、It was fun。I don't even think about running now。

The quality of the pen、After all、The strength of the solid lines。Soft like a pencil、Although I can't expect delicacy,、It has the purity of being a one-off, like the chisel marks on a sculpture.。Once I put pen to paper、can't be erased。I feel that this is also connected to the “cleanliness” of the pen.。(For those who think that "cannot be erased" is a drawback,、(We also sell "erasable pens")。the softness of a pencil、strength of pen。It is interesting that they cannot coexist together in one picture.。
