Hydrangea in Black 2—Reflexes

Flower part (CG) - Doesn't it look pretty realistic?

Further enlargement (CG) - It's actually quite sketchy.

About 30% of the way to completion。What I was concerned about along the way was、"You don't have to go through all this trouble.、Could there be a simpler and more effective method?。I don't want to waste time, but、Roundabout methods are not only a waste of time;、dirty the screen、This may lead to not being able to produce the desired effect.。“Brief” is definitely better.。

It's a reflex、That's when you need it.、It's like a ``gut feeling'' that allows you to choose the perfect method at the right time.。

When you get older、Intuitive inspiration fades、I am able to cover this by carefully formulating a plan (I am starting to do so)。Doesn't this mean that my reflexes have become dull...as I draw?、Suddenly、That's what I thought。

Of course, there is nothing wrong with taking a slow approach.。Rather than jumping into an image based on a shallow idea、The results are very stable。In terms of a baseball player's batting average,、If the batting average of a “random idea” is 10%、“Kneading” is less than 30%.。If your batting average is in the 10% range, it will be difficult to become a regular.、3It's a pretty impressive cleanup.。If it's a normal job, it's definitely better to "knead"。But what about art?。Even if the batting average is 10%、That one book is an attractive one that stays in your heart.、I guess that's the essence of art.。Training is essential to sharpen your reflexes.。It's dangerous。

Haiku

It has been over ten years since I started learning haiku.。Raise the temperature a little for a while、With a collection of poems by haiku poets in hand、There was a time when I was self-centered and devised various ideas.。Maybe it's because I'm busy、It feels like the fever has cooled down recently.、is。

Many haiku lovers post their poems in the haiku sections of media outlets such as NHK and major newspapers.、Buy a magazine that summarizes them every month、I joined a so-called haiku society.、Improve your skills at haiku gatherings, etc.。As for joining the society, I have a bit of a desire to join.、The origin and lineage of some societies、I have researched haiku style etc.。In the end, I don't do any of those things.、It is "a small convention in the world of haiku"、It doesn't seem to fit my personality or aspirations.、That's all there is to it。(*For example, I think there is some disagreement as to whether Kaneko Kabuta's haiku world is "small" or not.)

What are the conventions in the world of haiku?、I have always felt that it is important not to cause trouble (not to break the harmony).。When we think of flowers, we mean cherry blossoms.、If it's cherry blossoms, it's neat.、It's gorgeously decided、The ephemerality of dying、beauty、Converging words into a fixed image of cleanliness。Haiku is the skill of combining words in the process of convergence.、In other words, it's a very technical game.、The dimensions of the goal frame have been determined exactly.、It's a word game。17Almost 5 of the characters are consumed by "season words"、Only 12 characters left。In order to draw an image (within the promised range) using these 12 characters, we have no choice but to ``paste'' the ``as-is''.。Seasonal words act as strong adhesives for “pasting”、Haiku is created by leaning against this adhesive.。

In one word、I'm getting tired of this "cooperative game"。The world of painting is not a game。Always be aware of the difference between yourself and others、You have to muster up the courage and pull yourself out in front of others (the world).、It's a world that doesn't allow you to escape.。There are no promises whatsoever。techniques etc.、It's just one element there、sometimes even a hindrance。

Empathy is the lifeblood of haiku.、It can be said that。All art other than haiku、In fact, it cannot exist without empathy.、That is not to say that we are not preconditionally seeking empathy.。But、What about haiku that doesn't seek sympathy?。Although it may not be called haiku anymore.、Is it possible that it exists as a short poem-type tweet?。for me、Haiku is becoming something like that.。

The person who became my model is currently a 4th year university student.。4Become a member of society in the true sense from the moon。After finding a job、While preparing before joining the company and studying for the qualifications required after joining the company.、I spend each day with a little bit of anxiety and a lot of hope (though I didn't say so).、He told me。

I think, "It's beautiful."。Of course the face、The very fact that we are living in this very moment with youth and hope、I think it's beautiful。drawing a picture is、There is joy in always encountering this beauty.、It also means。Let me tell you this early so there is no misunderstanding.、This joy also comes from facing "youth" directly.、To put it more frankly, “Now、Living in this moment.”、And it lies in touching that “sense of fulfillment.”。
It's not limited to young people.、Not limited to humans。whether it's an animal or a plant、The contentment of being alive in this moment is the essence of being alive (in my own sense)、Even if it is a stone, the ``meaning of being right now'' is not much different.)。And、(the amount of energy) that it naturally radiates outward、when you touch it、I feel that time and space are “beautiful.”。That (drawing) gives me the power to change myself too.、I think that's the content of "what I want to draw"。by drawing、I feel like I too am being reborn.。

Can you feel that in this sketch?。While drawing、Shape and light and dark without care、I think I'm just chasing the colors、My five senses (unconscious) are probably trying to show other things on the screen as well.、to expect without permission。next year、Or in a few years、She doesn't even know what she's actually doing right now.。Getting a job is just the first step、have already taken the step。She decides the "second step" herself.。Please、Everyone takes a step for themselves、I just hope that you take the second step firmly.。

Lately, I've been practicing drawing on my computer.、I was neglecting to draw with actual materials.。It’s been a while since I drew with real wood.、After all, I feel a different person than when I'm at the computer.。from paper、from pencil、from water、From the brush、I can feel the response that I don't have on a computer.。"That touch、It is said that it can already be achieved with a computer.、Fortunately or unfortunately、Currently, I need two dimensions: a computer and real materials.、I can't enjoy the goodness of each.。It's up to me whether I think this is an inconvenience or an option.。
