See the trees, see the forest

3Uploaded at 22:30 on the 7th of the month

There is a saying, "You can't see the forest for the trees."。Don't just pay attention to trivial things、Never lose sight of the whole、That's what it means、Even though I understand the meaning, I don't know if it's actually a tree.、Is it a leaf or a branch?、You won't even know if it's just a single grain of pollen.、For example, when working on a computer。

Enlarge a single photo on your computer、retouch、change the color slightly、There is even more detailed work within that work.。What font (character design) should you use to enter text?、What should be done about the spacing between letters and line spaces?、Whether to put a border around the text or not、What to do with the color of the text, etc.、There's more detailed work here too.。trivial? The number of tasks is increasing rapidly.。

Leaves from such branches、In the flow that separates from the leaf to the veins、Turn around and face the whole tree in the opposite direction.、Further beyond that tree、Seeing the forest stretching beyond、quite difficult。Even in one direction, there are so many layers that I almost lose track of my position.、A structure in which various applications are arranged side by side。And it's still、This is limited to easy-to-understand examples of “work”。
It has been said that "look at things from the upstream"。From the forest to the trees, just like a tree diagram、Look from the tree to the branches and leaves、I have interpreted it to mean that、School education mostly sees the forest from the leaves.、I think it's the opposite direction。

when、At what point does education begin to reverse perspectives?。In today's Japan、at undergraduate thesis or graduate level、Maybe we can finally train ourselves to see it that way.。I feel like everything else has been left to "individual study".。It's not about studying for an exam either.、deep interest in one thing、If you have the freedom to study without being restricted by time and an environment with good friends,。What environment is necessary to “see the trees and see the forest”?、Every day I feel like I'm getting further and further away。

"Try drawing grilled sweetfish" has been uploaded.

The day before yesterday, I uploaded the video of "grilled sweetfish" that I wrote about in this column to YouTube.。Recently、Channel views are drastically decreasing。1From the end of the month to February, it accelerates rapidly.、1It has decreased to 1/10 within a month.。I don't really know why、It may be due to the frequency of posting。

until just before that、I don't know why, but the number of views was increasing every day.、A drastic change of rapid rise and fall。The likely cause is ``posting frequency.''。Many YouTubers agree that they should upload at least one video a week.。“If we don’t do that, it will decline drastically.”、Maybe I'm just experiencing it for myself.。

Trying to improve the content of the video even a little、getting longer、and time consuming。on the other hand、The longer the video, the easier it will be.。1If you want to summarize the time recording into 50 minutes、Almost no editing required、If you cut it to 5 minutes、You end up spending a tremendous amount of time choosing which parts to cut out.。It became necessary to compensate for the parts that were cut out in some way.、New photos and compositions may be required.。That's how you keep it short、If you try to deepen the content、(With my current ability) I definitely can't finish it in a week.。That's how it is、Organize content、I couldn't upload it for over 3 weeks because I tried to make it dense (not only that)。It took more than 2 weeks before that.。That's the only reason I can think of。The content may not meet the audience's needs.、I don't know that myself。

So、Try your best this time、1I made it within a week。Recording time is approximately 1 hour 25 minutes。I summarized it in 10 minutes and 46 seconds.。A few more、1Try to aim for one per week.。I don't know if the frequency is the only reason for the sharp decline, but、It may be possible to see the state of one factor for the time being.。

Try drawing “grilled sweetfish”

"Grilled sweetfish"Felt pen + pencil with jagged teeth

easily available to anyone、I wonder if there is a suitable subject for felt-tip pens?、I looked around at supermarkets, but I couldn't find anything suitable.。I had no choice but to buy ``dried Japanese sardines''.、3I placed about a dozen on a plate.。“Sardines?” I thought it was a really cool motif.、As soon as I picked up the pencil, I remembered - "There must be sweetfish in the freezer!"。

The big sweetfish I received from Mr. H at the end of the day.、まだ何匹か残っていたはず。there was、there was。A little bit of frost、I placed it on a paint plate.。-That's fine.。Although it may be a bit far from being “easy” for anyone.、Compared to handling and showing bluefin tuna,、It would fall into the category of “anyone”.。Raw sweetfish would have been fine too.、How to draw with a felt-tip pen、Smooth、Grindier than slimy、I thought the tick-tack one would stand out in contrast to the pencil.。

For the time being、Like the photo。The contrast between pencils and felt-tip pens is certainly vivid.。Ayu has a strong presence。But、Maybe it's because I'm not used to this kind of comparison.、I can't help but feel a little uncomfortable.。bimyo。As a picture、Pencil “draws too much”。Should I draw more smoothly?、(This is drawn with B and H) It is thin at about 2H、It would have been better to draw it more closely。disappointing。But I can't help what I drew.。Let's do our best next time。

Of course this is the side dish for dinner.。The taste of heartless painting failure is added.、It had a bland taste.。*The production process for “Yaki Ayu” will be released on YouTube later.、Currently being edited。
