Try a new way of drawing

Figure studies (watercolor、(unfinished)

I decided to draw a person for the first time in a while.、I tried practicing using photos for the time being, but I haven't done it in a while.、The brush doesn't move as expected。After all, it is different from apples and potted trees.、Human expressions use a different brush stroke.、There seems to be an approach。It's difficult to be able to draw anything almighty.。

Even though it's a "new way of drawing"、in my own way、But。I'm a little tired today, so、That's it。

Call it a day.

I was finally able to upload it

2I was finally able to upload the "outdoor sketch video" yesterday (January 8th), which has been pending for nearly a month.。I didn't drink alcohol on New Year's Day (although I did)、I didn't even eat mochi (although I did eat zoni), so I just ate this just because I was in the mood.。The content is very ordinary、There's nothing worth mentioning though、I made a lot of editing mistakes along the way (I guess it's because I read too much, right?)、The retouching process、Actually, I learned the most from it.。But、Oh dear、I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders - it was truly Call it a day. 。

But、As soon as I uploaded it, I returned to reality.。10From now on, it's no longer YouTube.、Real “Blue Seagull Painting Class” begins。Is there an appropriate motif? Of course, the “appropriate motif” is different for each person.、physical、There are a lot of things that are unavailable at certain times.、Flowers and vegetables for now、I started looking for things that could be used as art supplies, such as fruits.。

People who draw apples (like me)、You don't necessarily have to draw an apple in front of you.。For example, in my case、Having a real apple in front of you is a ``disturbance''。Apples are an important motif for me.、I don't particularly want to trace its physical appearance.。For me, the only thing I need is the "internal" "tolerance (inclusiveness) power (form) of an apple."、After that, it would be better if the apple remained as a symbol.。

Many of the painters who present photographic realism、Actually, it's similar to me、I'm trying to portray the truth for that person, so to speak.、It seems that he is not trying to depict what is physically (optically) visible in front of his eyes.。In fact, when I hear that small and medium-sized painters, who seem to be completely removed from that, often say, ``My paintings are realistic.''、The general public may be surprised。The relationship between object and author is a surprisingly interesting theme.、Not only is it often taken up by novelists, etc.、Picasso and others relentlessly depict the relationship between ``painter and model.''。People who are convinced that “specific motif” = “object to be drawn”、In a sense, the motif may depict you "on the contrary".。
About the relationship between myself and the motif、It might be fun to think about it for a while。

Step by short step

今ごろ年賀状だって

step by step (一歩ずつ)という慣用句を自分の感覚に合わせて作りなおしてみた「一歩」というのは(わたしにとって)意外に大きく半足(足裏の長さの半分)ずつ見た目で言えば“すり足”のように進むことさえかなわないことがあるという意味を込めたつもり(ちなみに英文的には不適切な句だと思う)

毎回動画の話で恐縮だがあるYouTuber が言うには「YouTubeを始める人のほとんどは挫折する」最初の数カ月は一歩も進まないからだという頑張って動画を作っても反応がゼロかそれに近い日が続き少し視聴数が増えても嫌なコメントが来たりすると落ち込んで熱意を失う、Apparently。

幸い?わたしの場合わりと最近まで視聴数とか全然気にしていなかった(そんな余裕もなかった)とりあえず作る練習作ったものをアップするこの二つを繋ぐことができるだけで100% 満足できたそんなごく小さな技術的なことを一つ覚えるたびに小さな喜びを得た小さな成功体験の積み重ねというやつ?
 「ほとんどの人は視聴数〇万回とかチャンネル登録者△万人というところだけ見て自分にも簡単にできそうだと思う」とも言っていたが「そんなの無理」と真面目にとらえなかったのもまだ続けられている理由の一つかもしれないいろいろ数値や例を挙げて説明していたが、In a nutshell、結果を早く得ようとし過ぎるからということのようだった
 動画であれなんであれ最初は(対外的な)結果など望めないのが普通。But、(自分の中では)難しかったところがなんとなくできるようになったそれらしいかたちをとれるとるのが苦にならなくなってきたなど小さなステップアップは手応えとして誰にでもあるものだその小さな short step の積み重ねが step を作る。actual、皆そうやってきた

苦しいのはそれがどれだけあれば 「一歩」になるのかそれにどれだけの時間がかかるのかが分らないということではないだろうか今のアメリカ流の教育法の一つはstep をできるだけ小さく区切って具体的な目標を明示することなのだそうだそしてこの教育法が多くのノーベル賞受賞者を生んできたと何かで読んだ
 これが出来ればグッジョブそれもできればコングラチュレーション(おめでとう)グレート!(すごい!)(日本流に)遠いゴールだけを見て「これくらいじゃまだまだ」と思うから苦しい、It might be。自分で自分を教育しよう人が褒めてくれなくたって自分で勝手に褒めようご褒美も用意しようStep を さらに小さく区切ってまずは自己満足から Start from a step.
