I uploaded a sketch video ↓

The fishing port sketch was taken while driving from Nojimazaki, the southernmost tip of Chiba Prefecture, to Kujukuri.。divided into several times、I've been sketching for days。Referring to that、I tried drawing it again。I think the location was around Wada.。

I think it was in the evening。I guess it was time for the sun to set soon.。I don't want to express that sense of time in the video (because the picture becomes dark)、screen based、I made a color-oriented sketch。

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.。

figure painting

Repin "Ivan the Terrible" (from the public domain)

When I think of ``figure painting,'' I immediately think of ``portrait.''、Landscapes and paintings with multiple people in a room can also be included in "portraits".。For example, Picasso's portrait paintings from his Blue and Blue period.、Those of the rosy era, etc.、At least it's not a portrait、The theme is also "human"。

resemble、Although it doesn't look like it, it may not be essential.。This is also the national treasure ``Statue of Gen Gen Yoritomo'', which is said to have been painted by Takanobu Fujiwara.、It is impossible to determine whether or not they resemble the person in question.、The same goes for "Portrait of Christ."。But、On the other hand, there are also things like Tamako Kataoka's ``Ihara Saikaku Statue'' that use imagination.。Not just pictures、The same goes for sculpture.。Although that is true、Well, generally speaking, a portrait "resembles the person"、Would it be possible to say that a portrait painting is ``the subject of a human being in the painting''?。

by the way、There is also a genre called "history painting" (not so common in Japan, but rather the main one in Western Europe).。Because humans create history、Most of what is called history painting is ``figure painting.''。many people know、An example of this is a painting of Napoleon astride a horse, raising his right hand and pointing, ``Cross the Alps!''。By the way、I like Russian painter Repin's ``Ivan the Terrible'' as historical paintings (photo above)。
I was careless, but、There is also a category called “self-portraits”。Let's remember Rembrandt's name here.。Even if I forget the picture。

It doesn't matter whether you like portraiture or not.、There should be no one who is not interested.。According to the research of many scholars、Humans have apparently evolved their brains to look closely at people's faces.。A “human face” that conveys emotions and even various thoughts with a single subtle expression。Even in the classroom, everyone is struggling with production.、That's how difficult it is to deceive (even for the author himself)、This probably means that a high level of expressive technique is required.。"Landscape" and "human beings" are two major themes of art.。No matter how you think about it, in the end you have no choice but to be involved in these two things.。It's too late though、I think I'll try to approach this topic a little more honestly.。
