When I read the free version of the manga "Blue Period," I thought to myself, 'I haven't read anything that good in a long time.
When I asked my daughter, who was the head of the art club in high school, "Do you know "Blue period?", she gave me a disappointed look.
She had a look on her face that said, "Who are you asking?"
We are not supposed to pre-record anime in our house, but I did pre-order "Blue Period".
After watching the first episode, my whole family (including my wife) unanimously decided to continue watching.

I am also manufacturing (x-creating) my own illustrations, using computers and "engineering methods".
So I believe I can relate to the difficulty of developing the image in my mind into a two-dimensional space -- well, at least 1/100 to 1/1000 of those who live by painting.

When I finish an illustration, I send it to my family on LINE, they said,
"Your skills have improved"
However, they have never said to me,
"You're getting better at drawing.
