The ordinary “Apple Kingdom”

Apple-Crossing the Sea S.K.I.S.

I'm about to start production for the Shinshunkai (June/Kasukabe) exhibition.。Even though the exhibition is held in June, the deadline for photos for the catalog is the beginning of April.、3The work must be completed within the month.。This is Skeith (idea sketch)。I think I'll go like this this year。Added CG to the work exhibited at Ginza last fall.。

Computers are really convenient。This kind of Squis also、With just a few more touches, you can create a complete image.。All that remains is to “realize” it using actual materials.。But、The idea of ​​``thinking with your hands'' is a little different from that of a computer.、No, not at all。In the first place, the path we are walking on is different.。

I see people walking from right to left across the grass from the side.。If there is a parallel path、as far as seen from the side、I can't tell which way I'm walking。As I draw, I get rid of tension from my body。Even if the direction of the face of the person walking is the same from right to left、The road is gradually slipping away。The destination is different。That's the difference between hand-drawn and CG、I always feel that、(For some reason) I'm trying to get used to CG.。I don't know if it's good or bad for me。It's probably a gamble called "intuition"。

here 2,3This is the style of this year's painting.。Unusually (for the first time?) for me, I have a fixed image.。decades ago、Various styles、Made with various materials。What I think now is、No matter what picture you draw, as long as you are there, it's fine.、This person is building his "own" snowboard "road"。Even if it is unique、Even if it's ordinary、This is just a “carefree” “evaluation” from the outside perspective.。Even if it is called “ordinary”、For me, I don't have time to worry about the label "mediocre."。

Redraw

I tried redrawing it

2/3I really don't like the original picture of the photo posted on、I was curious so I drew it again。The previous sketch was size 10.、This time it's number 8、I cut the bottom part by that amount.、The face parts are actually a little bigger, making it easier to draw.。

It is common knowledge (or rather,、If I don't do that, I can't draw it)、This isn't necessarily the case with watercolors (though it's a different story when it comes to large-scale watercolor works).。This time I set myself the task of ``drawing with only one brush.''、14It needed to be a size that could be drawn with a single Kolinsky issue.。

Because the details of a person's face are concentrated.、The criterion for selection is whether the brush can draw faces.。In reality, “details” are not just about the face.。If you look at each hair individually, it's fine.、Even the joints of each finger and their wrinkles、Even the way we weave fabric for clothes.、If you try to draw them, they're all equally detailed.。But、There are parts of the painting that don't really matter to the viewer other than the face.、I don't really care if I draw it sloppily.。However、Everyone looks closely at the face with great interest.、We also try to deeply read the moods that are not depicted.。Therefore, the face becomes the standard.。

But、I think it's okay to "make the most of it" when it comes to faces.。If you are particular about subtle expressions, you will want to draw them in detail with a small brush.。Then before you know it、original watercolor、Freedom like leaving it to water、ease is lost。Even creative attempts are pushed to the background.。Rather than that,、nose、I prefer to draw in a way that says, ``All I need is a mouth.''。That was the purpose of “with just one brush”、As expected, the brush strokes were careful (redrawing?)。

in put, out put-N's attempt

generally input、The word is used as output.、If you think about it a little, the word put seems a little meaningful.。put=put、That's why、I need something to put it on。Since it is a thing, if you move in⇄out、They will probably disappear in their original locations.。

in put is your own study (time)、Output means disseminating the results (although I think this is a rather arbitrary way of connecting).、If you think about it、Studying (gathering information) is the ``germ'' or ``seed'' of an idea.、It takes a certain number of years for it to become a “fruit”、experience required。Whether it's for a few months or decades is a matter of fact.、It depends on the person though、In any case, it means that it needs time to ripen.。

Even if you think about it in a very ordinary way、If you just keep taking things out of the bucket、The bucket will be empty soon。I'd be happy if I was "decluttering".、Even if it's a spiritual thing、If you keep putting it out, it will eventually become empty.。These days, there is a tendency to emphasize the ability to communicate in order to overcome competition.、People and companies with abundant content、Business entities are fine, but、someone with nothing in particular、By the way、There may be times when you have to create the content you want to send out in a ``mud rope'' manner.、Isn't it already a dead language? After catching the thief (making a rope to tie him)、Words warning against “lack of preparation”。Just in case)。

myself、I've been feeling for a long time that this is just a mess.。Not only is the interval between input and output “immediate”;、This is because the opposite has become more common.。- Looking at Mr. N's studies "Stone 1" to "Stone 3" in "Blue Seagull Painting Class"、I can clearly see Mr. N giving input.。Input is not just about purchasing information.、Rub it inside yourself、I can clearly see that it is fermented.。“Communication” is not the purpose、I want you to see the royal path of achieving results.。Mr. N's "stone" has been around for several years now.。
