Yukihira
That concludes our class for today. I want you all to review my feedback and practice in your own time.
*Chattering*
*Footsteps*
Yukihira
What is it?
Ena
Um, I've been working on a piece in my spare time for practice, but I'm encountering some difficulty...
Yukihira
Yes, let's see it.
*Rustling*
Yukihira
It's a sketch...?
Yukihira
...
Yukihira
... May I ask you a few questions?
Yukihira
What is the temperature of the water in this picture?
Yukihira
Very well. And in what direction is it flowing?
Yukihira
Do you mean to say that this is a body of water with no obvious current, such as a lake or spring?
Yukihira
I see. You said that you took on this piece as a way of working on your depiction of water, no?
Yukihira
Well then, let me begin from that perspective. This piece does not provide enough information for the imagination.
Yukihira
Yes. Texture is, of course, an important aspect of a piece. However...
Yukihira
A crucial part of refining your technique is how you visually convey to the viewer that which, usually, can only be understood by direct contact.
Yukihira
With that said, even if you had succeeded in that regard, I would not think this a good piece.
Yukihira
In the end, this is merely "a sketch of a person swimming". In itself, it has no meaning or value.
Yukihira
The question of "how" one creates art begins with "what" one wishes to express with it.
Yukihira
When the artist knows what they want to express, and then accomplishes this with rich use of composition and techniques that are appropriate or perhaps even innovative...
Yukihira
That is what I believe to be good art.
Yukihira
If you reattempt this exercise, I look forward to seeing your own original work. Not a reproduction.
Ena
(It's true I was just thinking about practicing drawing water, so I didn't really think much about the theme.)
*Footsteps*
Ena
Interesting... It says they're displaying cherry blossoms and goldfish with a flower viewing theme. And the venue... Oh, it's the mall I always go to.

Ena
If I want to convey the friendship of those goldfish, and how heartwarming it felt to watch them...
Ena
If I draw everything exactly as it was, the contrast between the light and dark spots will be too harsh.
Ena
(It sucks not walking home with a piece I'm satisfied with, but I'm edging forward, little by little. I just gotta do what I can.)

Ena
No matter how good I get at depicting water, it doesn't mean anything if there's nothing I want to express with my piece.
An
Yeah, I know what you mean! It's like you can feel so much kindness from these two, as if they're happy to be together.
Ena
(I'll start by reattempting the composition and perspective. Then I can move on to rethinking the shading...)
