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。

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.。

Finally here

today、12Delivery at 55 minutes

Finally here、Delivery was successful。It took more than a month。It's not like I've made it that much into it.、Rather, I see only mistakes.、I feel sorry for myself too。

At first it will take a week、I thought that was enough time。I thought a video that simply said "I enjoyed sketching" would be fine.。When you start editing, you'll learn how to hold a pencil and how to find the horizon.、I feel that supplementary explanations such as "perspective" are necessary.、make another video、Search for reference works (photos)、I started to move toward the image of one complete version.。

As the title says、Honestly, that's all you need to do、Even the viewers find it annoying that such extra details are inserted.。Nevertheless、This useless “perfectionism?”、As for me、I think it might be self-poisoning.。That one was made into a video as it is as a "long version"。There may not be a chance to make it public.、I saved it to see my own stupidity (sigh)。
