Music to play while painting
What music to listen to when working, everyone likes to talk about. I don't, but I love to know what others are listening to. I always wear earphones and use noise cancellation. I even play a couple of songs at the beginning of the work day to isolate myself from the outside world. But if I keep listening to music, I focus on the music by thinking of the live performance or trying to hear the different parts of the instruments. So I try not to listen to music when I work on a painting.
New Illustrations
A week and a half since our last newsletter, I have submitted two color illustrations. We also submitted two sketches.
Looking Back
I look back at the review notes I keep for each illustration. This is about a picture I submitted in the first half of April this year.
I am sure I could have painted what I wanted to paint, but the picture is somehow lacking. That will do neither harm nor good.
I forgot to draw the parts. I didn't draw the Crab-eating Raccoon’s gloves. I added them after I realized, but I can't replace them on Twitter.
I feel like I'm missing something other than gloves. First of all, it is sad that there are not enough drawings. And the this scenes are meaningless. A few pictures before this one, I decided on the order in which I would draw them in order to paint them quickly. And I followed that method. It may be a weak point of this method that the taste of picture becomes thin.
The tastelessness of the illustrations is a problem that I felt then and still feel now. I would like to cut out the subject matter from a sharper perspective. I thought that my postings had lost some of their excitement because the social networking sites were shutting down stimulating posts these days. Then I looked back at my past posts and found that none of them were stimulating. It seems that lack of stimulation is my nature to begin with. I want to be able to create just the right amount of stimulation, not enough to make hurt people.
