In the classroom, we recommend Squiss.。This S-key is for the "geranium composition" from the other day.。There are several others。There are about 3 "geranium compositions" themselves.。

When you say “Skys” is an “idea/sketches”, it is close to reality.。in short、A method in which you specifically consider ``how to draw'' before starting the work.。Not only the motif itself、Consider the surrounding areas as well.。Emphasize ideas over “composition”。This stage can be considered the entrance to "creation".。

The most important thing when doing Squishy is "not to describe"。The “describing brain” and the “idea brain” probably have different brain cells working in them.。I don't have any ideas when drawing、When I'm thinking, my description doesn't progress.、I think everyone has already experienced it.。
Related to that、Time spent drawing Squis、Spend no more than 1 minute on each part.。Draw in a few seconds if possible。that's why、Not a big sketchbook、memo pad、The size of a notebook is suitable。In the example above、The position and size of the flower and pot are set in two circles for 5 seconds.。The position and size of the table (actually a wooden chair) can be determined in just 30 seconds.。That shadow for 30 seconds。The diagonal line in the background is 30 seconds。Total drawing time: 1 minute 35 seconds。however、A few minutes between each session to think and come up with ideas.、sometimes even tens of minutes。1I don't mean that you should draw one page in minutes.、Please avoid any misunderstandings.。

Esquisition is essential work to improve the level of your work.。But、As long as you just enjoy drawing itself、First of all, it's not necessary。Especially for those who are only looking forward to the light colored sketches.、Even seeing and hearing it can be frustrating.。Just for creation purposes、This work is necessary only for those who want to improve their work.。
This is a kind of "shedding" in painting production.、Once you cross it, you will never be able to go back to being the person who never knew Squis.。You can't go back from being a butterfly to a chrysalis.。The Esquis Consciousness will always come into play somewhere.。But ok、、It's not a bad thing at all、While I was drawing a lot、Sooner or later, that kind of nerve will develop.。
but、As such、Don't you think the Esquise itself is visually interesting? If so、It's really killing two birds with one stone.。

"Rehearsal"、In a word, “dry practice”。Almost the same content as the original、Execute on schedule。So、Things I was curious about、The problem that came up、(Final) preparations to resolve before the actual event。music related、If you're involved in theater, it's probably everyday language.、Probably the same goes for people involved in events.。But、paintings and sculptures、Among print experts, etc.、I've never heard of it。At most, it is a "study" for partial practice.。

I started making videos、I started to "rehearse" (not every time)。

“Art is basically a once-in-a-lifetime event.”、For artists (like me) who believe that "one-shot success is the essence"、Although it is similar to a comedy story such as "Dry Drill"、I've come to understand that rehearsals have great meaning from the perspective of making videos.。but、But when it comes to creating a video of a painting by yourself,、A certain kind of contradiction arises in my heart.。of course、Even if it means something for the video.、Not everyone who makes videos rehearses.。Rather, like painting, the basic idea is to take one shot.。

in the same way、In the past few years, I've started to take Esquis more seriously.。When I was younger, my work was already completed before I started playing esquis.。Ideas come to mind one after another、I had the stamina to do it, so I made a beeline for it and made a beeline for the goal.。take a detour、Literally "straight ahead" without even checking.。Of course there are failures、There were some things that needed improvement, though.、It's more fun to move on to the next step with momentum than to fix it.、it seemed natural。
now、I started drawing Squis、It's not just my age that led me to rehearse.、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。Curling seems to be called "chess on ice"、I think it's because the measure of "perfection" has come to me.。I don't even think I need something like that、If you say it's because of my age that I've become like this before I know it,、Maybe so.、Maybe it's the "stimulation" from a new field (for me) of video production.、I also think。

Can you hit a few hits with a bad gun?

1 cut during video production。Is this kind of practice a waste?

Even a bad hunter、If you hunt over and over again、It is said that eventually, even by chance, you will find some decent prey.、A “parable” that encourages “experience”。

That's right, isn't it?。While I'm drawing a lot of pictures, sometimes I can say "Oh!"。“But、That was a fluke.”。No no no、don't think so。I say it out loud、“A fluke is a real skill!!!”。

Otani is a great player in American baseball.。2022He hit 43 home runs in the season.、At one point, I was on the verge of becoming the home run king.。How about this year?。next year、What about next year?。If this season、40Even if I didn't go、I don't think his abilities have diminished at all.。Even if there are 20 books, which is less than half, the evaluation will not change.。It's amazing that I was able to hit it.。That's what happens every year、It's unreasonable to expect。I apologize for only using baseball as an example.、There is no batter who can hit .400 in professional baseball.。2A professional is a professional even if it's less than that.。
What do you want to say? -oh yeah、Shoot a few shots first、gain experience、That's what it means, isn't it?。yes、There is nothing that can improve you except experience.。Knowledge also needs to be “experientialized” once.、Just like the rice cake in the picture。most、If I say "Draw 200 pictures"、I drew 200 pictures in a row to fix myself.、There were some people who wouldn't listen to anything else.。Unimaginable for me too、I reflected on it a lot.。It is said that more than 90% of lion hunts fail.。Even if we fail, we are “human beings” who have “today’s meal”.。Let's shoot a few shots first.。

However、Also mentioned here、The development of the language processing function called chat GPT, which has recently become a hot topic, is rapidly accelerating.、``Isn't experience useless?''、It seems to be becoming common knowledge that complete beginners can achieve better results than veterans without making any mistakes.。I just said, ``Just shoot a few shots and you'll hit.''、This is a “one shot hit”。It only takes a few seconds。Words like “steadfast effort” make me feel like an idiot.。It feels like someone is saying, "More than half of my life was only worth a few seconds."、There is something really painful。In the title? This is why I have no choice but to add。
