Pen and pencil (1)

Felt pen sketch example

What is the difference between a pen and a pencil? The pen is ink、Pencils are...graphite, right? I would say it's almost a passing grade.、Pencils that draw with pure graphite (it looks like graphite held between chopsticks) were only available in the very early days.、Nowadays, we mix clay with it.、made by firing。If the proportion of clay increases, H,2H,3H... and getting hard。15It seems to be surprisingly normal up to about H.。

Pens use ink、The pen is “between” the paper and the ink.、It's more indirect than a pencil、When I use a pen, it briefly touches my head。There is something called a “pickled pen”。Stick the pen tip into the inkwell and head towards the manuscript paper.、That's what old novelists do in movies with a cigarette in their mouth.。collect bird feathers、A quill pen with a notch in the shaft、G pen used by manga artists、detailed round pen、Glass pens are also similar (glass pens are more like writing instruments than writing instruments).、Already a craft)。Pencils are also colored pencils、water colored pencils、wax pencil、It has a variety of crayon and facial features.。

I'll change the direction of the story a bit.、Pens commonly used in modern times are、Broadly divided into ballpoint pens and felt-tip pens。Dipping pens are already a classic.、somewhat of a hobby、Isn't it safe to say that it is only used in artistic situations?。Of these two, felt-tip pens are more “primitive”。The principle is to soak one end of cloth or leather in a liquid.、A method in which the ink that crawls up through capillary action is rubbed onto the paper.。In other words, a modern version of “fude”。For ballpoint pens, the inkwell is temporarily covered with a stainless steel ball.、Ink stuck to the side of the pot、Start pulling by rotating the ball while keeping it in close contact with the jar.、something to press on paper。近代的アイデアの勝利原理は単純だが非常に精緻な技術が必要でこちらは純然たる精密機器―それが100円もせずに買えること自体が凄いという気さえする市販のボールペンはひと昔前のものに比べると格段に書きよくなっている

so、ペンと鉛筆どちらが優れているかと択一論に傾きたくなるのは解るがそれは結局各自が決めることだというしかないデリケートな明暗のグラデーションを望むなら鉛筆に勝るものはない濃く、stable、一定の太さの均一性が必要ならボールペンがベスト―そのために作られたものだから紙との摩擦感ある種の描画感を味わうならフェルトペンが良いボールペンよりほんの少しArtistic ?―だがどちらを使おうと道具である以上たとえばArtなら経験・修練がモノを言う世界文章を書くならどちらにしても剣よりは強い―がそれはデジタルにした方が今は効率良さそうである

YouTuber に?

描き方を少し変えてみた

YouTube「青いカモメの絵画教室」(YouTube.com@aoikamome)のチャンネル開設以来の総視聴数が2.1万回を越えた。100%皆さんの力です。thank you。

1万回目が昨年の12月13日(1千回~1万回まで約6ヶ月)2万回目がつい先日の1月20日(1万回~2万回まで5週間)どんどんペースが早くなってくるのに実際自分でも驚くいわゆるYouTuber になるには視聴回数そのものは直接関係ないらしいが数字で表れるのでそれを目指す人には最もわかりやすい指標になるわたしの場合をそれにあてはめていろいろ概算してみると今後一年間に最低6万回の視聴数が必要ということになるようだなに?今のペースなら30週ことしの8月頃にはYouTuber になる?

どっこいそう簡単にはいきませんYouTuber はおそらく誰もが相当な労苦をつぎ込んでいるカメラの前では笑っていてもカメラの後ろでは大きな負担を背負い込んでいるはずだ実際にやってみてその大変さが少しは解るようになってきた(気がする)「YouTubeを始めてもほとんどはすぐやめます」とあるYouTuber が言っていたがたぶんそうだろう好きだからというだけでは続かない一本ごとに少しずつレベルを上げながらちょっとずつ自分の世界を広げていける人それを楽しむポリシーを持つ人だけが結局は残るのだろうどんな世界もそこは共通なのかもしれない

YouTubeは長丁場だと言われている飽きずに続けるのだけはわたしの性に合っているらしい自分が飽きなくても視聴者に飽きられればそれでおしまいだが飽きられない工夫を考えるのも今のところまあまあ楽しい。For the time being、あと1年続けるのが目標といえば目標かな

Don't slack off - Freelance

For wild animals, slacking off means、I'm sure he's getting very close to death.。slack off vigilance、Skip searching for food、Skip taking care of your body。All lead directly to death。Even if you don't slack off, predators will come from the other side.。I don't have time to catch my breath。

Humans can slack off as they see fit (Good thing I'm a human ^_^)。humans by civilization、We have created a society where you can slack off a little without dying.。

How to live a “freelance” life、In such a human society, it would be a wild way of life.。Although within the framework of society,、Have areas where you can't rely on others to some extent、What it means to live in such a space。That's why I can't slack off。``My own free sense of time and space'' etc.”beautiful expression”I feel like I'm going to get caught、Actually, there is no time to take a breather.、We must not overlook the reality that we are constantly forced to feel nervous like wild animals.。

Becoming a freelancer is certainly an option, but、in many cases、I strongly feel that these are people who have no choice but to do so.。Not so long ago in Japan, people were considered "outcasts," "misfits," or "rebels."、People who could sometimes be subject to “exclusion”。The reason why freelancing seems kind of cool these days is due to the power of "culture."。I want the era where misfits can live together forever to continue.、I want the strength to sustain it。On the other hand, an intolerant society is spreading around us.、It's creepy that more and more people don't seem to notice this.。
