愛車はアルファロメオ156 V6です。すっかり古い車になってしまいましたが、長く大切に乗っています。綺麗に並んだ6本のインテークパイプが美しくてお気に入りです😊
I excel at illustrations of cars and motorcycles. I'm also practicing daily to improve my skills in drawing people. I've been using acrylic paints since my school days, but I started using watercolors when I began drawing portraits.
I initially thought watercolors would be simple, but they are incredibly profound and challenging! I've become completely hooked, trying out various paints and papers, and experimenting with different techniques. The beauty of watercolors lies in the interesting ways they allow for diverse expressions depending on the drawing method.
Airbrushing is also one of my favorite art mediums. I practiced airbrushing intensely when I was working on custom motorcycle paint jobs. It's very difficult to handle and doesn't always go as I intend.
Adjusting paint consistency and air pressure, and the distance between the paper and the airbrush... I still aspire to master it perfectly someday. Even now, I've acquired an Olympus airbrush, which I longed for back then, and I'm still struggling with it.
