What does it mean to be “competent with computers”?

It's too late now、What does it mean to be “competent with computers”?、I don't really understand。That means、I think it means I can't use a computer.。それは実感とも一致する。

People might say, “You’re blogging or doing YouTube.”、I feel like doing that and being able to use a computer are completely different things.。Nowadays, no company can work without a computer.、I wonder if everyone who uses it at work is someone who can do it.。Or if you become a gamer、“出来る”レベルというんだろうか。そんなことも全然分からない。

This is just my personal feeling、①自分でパソコンのスペック(performance range)decide、order parts、Able to assemble by yourself (understands hardware) ② Accounts and various apps、Settings such as security、Being able to manage (information literacy) ③ Being able to make a computer do what you want to do (understanding the software) - Are you able to do all three without any problems? What you can do、What is my definition of “able”? But、From the perspective of someone who can “do it”、Perhaps this “definition” itself? ? ? Must be。By the way、I'm just making it a condition for someone who can do it.、Of course, for me, all of ① to ③ are "✕✕✕"。

To be honest、Computers have always been far away from me.。Even though I sit in front of a computer for long hours every day.、We can never get along。That means、I guess that just means that computers are more important than me.。“I can do it”、It's close to the meaning of mastering it.、That's it、The only thing that I can't do even if I die、This is the best thing I've learned in the last few years.。

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。Triumph of modern ideas。The principle is simple, but requires very sophisticated technology.、This is pure precision equipment - I think it's amazing that you can buy it for less than 100 yen.。Compared to commercially available ballpoint pens from a while ago,、The writing is much better。

so、pen and pencil、Which is better?、I understand that you want to lean toward the alternative theory, but、In the end it's up to each person to decide、I have no choice but to say。If you want delicate gradations of light and dark, there's nothing better than a pencil.。deeply、stable、If you need a uniform thickness, ballpoint pens are the best – because that’s what they’re made for.。Feeling of friction with paper、If you want to experience a certain kind of drawing feeling, felt-tip pens are good.。A little more artistic than a ballpoint pen? -But、No matter which one you use, it's still a tool.、For example, in the case of Art, experience and training matter.。When it comes to writing, either way it's stronger than a sword.、It seems more efficient to do it digitally now.。

Become a YouTuber?

I changed the way I draw a little

YouTube “Blue Seagull Painting Class”(YouTube.com@aoikamome)The total number of views since the channel opened exceeded 21,000 times.。100%It's your power。thank you。

1The 10,000th time was December 13th of last year (about 6 months from 1,000 times to 10,000 times)。The 20,000th time was just the other day on January 20th (5 weeks from 10,000 to 20,000 times)。The pace is getting faster and faster、I'm actually surprised myself。It seems that the number of views itself is not directly related to becoming a so-called YouTuber.、Because it is expressed in numbers、This is the easiest indicator for those aiming for this.。Applying my case to that、If you do some rough calculations,、It seems that it will need at least 60,000 views within the next year.。what? 30 weeks at the current pace、Will you become a YouTuber around August this year?

Where is it?、It's not that easy。All YouTubers probably put in a lot of hard work.。Even if you smile in front of the camera、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。Raising the level little by little with each book、People who can expand their world little by little、In the end, only those who have the policy to enjoy it will remain.。Maybe all worlds have something in common。

YouTube is said to be a long-running platform.。All you have to do is keep going without getting tired、It seems to suit my personality。Even if I don't get bored with it, if the viewers get bored with it, that's it.、For now, I'm thinking of ways to keep it from getting boring.、It's pretty fun。For the time being、It will continue for one more year、A goal is a goal。
