When I was in elementary school, I drew for our school newspaper. Whenever anyone told me that my drawings were good, I got excited and drew more. That’s the way it went 🙂

When I see a drawing, before thinking “Wow! What an awesome drawing!”, the first thing that comes to my mind is, “Hmmm, what would it look like if I drew it from a different angle?”

I had to practice more…. I didn’t want to lose.

But to see people’s reaction when they see my drawing is much more important. It’ll make me think that I want to do it better.

There, I realized how much of an ordinary simpleton I was. I was so surprised to see how well the other people around me could draw.

That’s when I understood: the basics are very important.

Exhibitions are an amazing way to introduce yourself to the world. You need to bring your work to the outside world, not just depend on word-of-mouth from acquaintance.

The world won’t recognize you unless you’re super active. I thought that if I can make the most of the potential of the internet, I can get famous little by little. At the time, the internet, websites, social networks, they were all becoming more and more common.

In my case, I’ll run, I’ll cook, whatever… I’ll just wait until something comes into my head.

This is the most important thing: to “refresh.” If you’re not used to it, you might feel depressed thinking “What am I doing? “ “Is this really the right time to put the pen down and play a video game??”

You’re right to feel this way! In effect you’re reducing the time to be spent drawing!

I have tried to draw like others, have copied them since I was young.

One day, it will turn into yours: your own drawing, your own style.

I would like to spend my time imagining how things will turn out rather than stressing over how to control my style myself.
