🎨 第1段落: イラスト上達の超具体的な方法
Naoki Saitoは、以前に「イラスト最速上達法」という動画を公開し、300,000回以上の視聴がある人気コンテンツの続編として、3か月で上達するための具体的な方法を紹介します。この動画は無料でありながら超有料クラスの内容を提供し、内容が濃厚で一度では理解しきれないかもしれないが、何度も視聴することで頭に入りやすくなると説明しています。彼はポケモンカードの公式イラストレーターやアプリゲーム「Dragalia Lost」のキャラクターデザインなど、19年間プロのイラストレーターとして活動してきた経験を持ち、自身が実際に行った練習方法を紹介する予定です。
🖌 第2段落: 練習方法のステップ1~2
理想のイラストを見つけることが練習方法の最も重要な部分であり、自分が魅力を感じる「ロールモデル」を選ぶことが重要です。Saitoは自身のモデルとして、Ushi氏のイラストを選び、彼の作品に深く魅了された経験を共有しています。このステップでは、選んだモデルのパターンを参考にしながら、真剣にオリジナルのイラストを描くことが求められます。このプロセスを通じて、実際の作品としての真剣さで取り組むことの重要性が強調されています。
✍️ 第3段落: 練習方法のステップ3~4
自身のイラストとモデルのイラストを比較し、劣っている点や気に入らない点を細かくメモすることがこの段階で求められます。Saitoは自分の顔のパーツの配置に問題があると判断し、この点に焦点を当てて練習しました。彼は具体的な問題点を一つ選び出し、その問題に集中して練習することで、効果的に上達する方法を提案しています。
🔄 第4段落: 練習の繰り返しとPDCAサイクル
この段落では、練習したことを反映させて再び真剣にイラストを描き、問題を発見して解決するプロセスを繰り返すことの重要性を強調しています。Saitoは、この練習方法がビジネスの世界で使われるPDCAサイクルを超高速で回す方法であると説明し、問題を発見し解決していくことで目標に向かって確実に進歩できると述べています。
🚀 第5段落: 方法の効果と個性の重要性
Saitoは、この練習方法を通じて目標が遠く感じられるかもしれないが、一つ一つの壁を乗り越えていくことで、短期間で目標に近づけることができると述べています。また、モデルを真似ることで自分の個性が失われるのではないかという心配に対して、どんなに個性を消そうとしても自然と表れるものであり、個性は強力なものであると強調しています。この方法は基礎から固める方法ではなく、実践を通じて直面する困難さとその効果について語っています。
🌟 第6段落: 結論と動画への誘導
実際にこの方法を試し、苦労し、成長する過程で得られる経験の価値についてSaitoは語ります。3か月後に自分の手にしている成果を通じて、この方法の真の価値を実感することができると述べ、元の「イラスト最速上達法」の動画へのリンクも提供しています。この方法を通じて得られる改善と成長は、単に知識を得ること以上のものであり、実際に挑戦し経験することの重要性を強調して結論づけています。

Then How to improve drawing is,,,
before explain that
in those 3 months
How much I have grown
Let me show you before and after
How much you can grow
I have to show it properly
otherwise there is no convincing
here it is
The left is before doing this practice
And the right is my illustration 3 months after this method
You can grow like this in 3 months
You can see that it has grown a lot
like this
Today I ’m going to introduce
the practice method that I actually did.
Sorry, I forgot to tell you about myself
I have been working
as a professional illustrator for 19 years
My name is Naoki Saito
What kind of work I am doing right now is
Pokemon Card Official Illustrator
App game ” Dragalia Lost “ character design
sometimes draw illustrations of Hatsune Miku.
By the way,
you could see my background sometimes
this figure was designed by me.
As you can see,
I'm currently focusing on character work.
I was a monster painter
seven years ago until I was thirty.
I was drawing an illustration like this
But when I was 30
"I want to draw a character illustration!"
I suddenly want to
so that I started working on character painting.
But when I try to draw a character
It was like that I showed you before
Of course, it was not a level that I could work properly
"So what should I do ...I'm stuck,,,"
"How can I get better in a short period of time?"
I considered so much and figured out the Practice method
was the method that I will introduce from now on.
I am so shy to tell you this ,,but ,,
During the 3 month,
Let me show you What kind of practice I did,
Actually, what I just showed you
is a part of the practice notes at that time
This note
with introducing the contents of this note
I will tell you how to do this method
So please watch all this video
And by actually practicing this method
As I just showed you
3 months later
"Eh! This is my illustration !?"
like you would say
you would be so much better drawing than before
And if you take it seriously
Even those who have never done painting work before
"Wow! An illustration request came in!"
You can get such a future your dreaming
Please watch this video til the end
Well then,
Here is the content of the method
that I will tell you this video
1... Find your ideal illustration
2... Draw an original work with that person's pattern
3... Compare your illustration with the model
4... Practice focusing on that one point
5... Return to 2 reflecting what you practiced
With this alone
you don't know what I’m talking about
Specific details with examples
I will explain in order.
1... Find your ideal illustration
This is the most important part of this method
The picture you want draw
In other words
let's find a “role model"
the most important to judge criteria of your “role model” is
"to be fascinated!"
It seems to be popular illustrator
but you don't like it much, or
I don't really get attracted to it,
but the basics are solid and academic.
like that
"unattractive patterns"
is not suitable for this method
Because ,, for 3 months in this method
you will face that pattern
It must be a pattern that you really like
otherwise there is a high possibility
that you will be frustrated on the way
So Don't lie to yourself what you like
By the way,
what I had chosen as a "model" at that time
It is an illustration Mr Ushi
He is the main illustrator of ,
"the sword, magic and school "
"Sangokushi puzzle game" ,,etc
Here is a illustration of Ushi
By the way, at that time
When I saw his illustrations
How fascinating I was
I talked to him and made him laugh a little bit.
When I saw his illustration
I passed through I love it ...
I thought, "This is my drawing !!"
No, of course, as I introduced earlier
My paintings at that time
were totally different from now.
It doesn't look like his illustration at all
I definitely thought that at that time
It ’s pretty rude, isn’t it?
But I was so fascinated that much
But I think some people think this way here.
"Eh? But what should I do
if I have a lot of favorite patterns?"
I understand
It's really hard to decide
only one on your favorite pattern
Until then,
I had never decided only one on a favorite pattern
I was even afraid to stabilize the pattern.
I wonder ....
I feel like limited applicability
Well, even though I'm an illustrator such a limited job
I'm afraid that I would be limited applicability
it's strange anyway
but I was scared
So as a result,
the design was not stable
And I had a lot of favorite writers and illustrators
who were affected me
At that time, I was referring to all of them
Of course that's fine
However, regarding this method this time,
At least during this series of processes
Let's narrow down to only one "model"
Otherwise,
this practice is meaningless.
I'll tell you why later
Anyway,
the important point here is
"narrow down to ONE model "
This is important!
2... Draw an original illustration with that model person's pattern
From here we will start the actual practice
The first thing to do ...
it's NOT practice ...
you have to draw an illustration as your best,
Serious and serious
draw an illustration in super serious mode
While referring to the model you chose
like you were the one that illustrator
NOT tracing
NOT copying
draw a new original work
while imitating the person's pattern
By the way, this is
At that time, I draw it seriously.
I'm sorry .... I'm a little too shy
The point is
you have to do as real work as possible.
Without thinking it was practice
For example, this is a product!
It will actually be sold in stores!
imagine like that
If you're a student and it's hard
to imagine that it's a product, you can think
"This is a work to put in the portfolio"
"The quality of this work will make my future course "
Please draw it that much seriously
This illustration looks like messy but
it took 4-5 hours,
I redrawing again and again,
Then finally I completed
This was my best illustration at that time
the reason why it is important
otherwise
you can’t find the real issue.
Because if you couldn’t get serious here
The next challenge is naturally will be like
"I wasn't serious this time
so let's draw seriously next time."
It's not a concrete task to improve illustrations
Challenges about the attitude of facing illustrations
As long as the issue remains
Specific challenges for improving the illustration
will be invisible forever
"Let's draw seriously next time"
In order to eliminate this problem
let's draw with all our strength first
“oh no, its super hard !!
Or even to complete the illustration is difficult !! "
I can hear the sort of voice
I know
I think this process is the most painful
Because you can't suddenly start
Maybe someone who has never painted before
Some may be new to digital illustrations
Then that's fine
Anyway, use all the Technique you can think of
and force yourself closer to the "model".
This is the method I will introduce this time
It's not too much to say this is the largest issue
If you don't know what to draw
you can create a derivative work.
If you wants to draw a girl
without thinking,
You might draw Hatsune Miku
like I showed you in the start with
I had drawn Hatune Miku again and again as a practice
However, if you are dissatisfied with that
It is also recommended to try making
your own simple original character.
If you have never made an original character ...
I think it's a good idea to refer to this video
"Let's make a character"
Introducing an easy way
to create an original character
The body of the character is also distributed for free
you can try to make a character relatively easily.
I will post the URL in description
so please try it.
Once you have created your own original character
When drawing any illustration
You will be free from the worries of
"what to draw" forever.
3... Compare your illustration with the model
Well, the time of hell has come
between your own illustration and the picture of "Model"
ComparisonTIME !!
This is the moment
when the most mental energy is worn out.
Illustration which I don't want to see it again
that I couldn't draw well
and a model illustration that I wanted to be
These two are next to each other
You have to stare at both of them.
What should I express this without calling it hell?
Well, it was decided by myself to do this
Let's do it
line up
ah〜・・・yeah, right・・・・
It's still make me depressed
Well of course it's is
At first time, even If you draw it seriously
It can't be like your “model” illustration, of course
I'm sure there is something you don't like
This stage is
when comparing the model with your own
The Points that are inferior
What you don't like
write down the issue on your notebook
By the way, this is my memo at that time.
like this, write down the points you lacked
at that time and the issues on paper in a list.
The tips here is not to "Throw everything away !! "
Not to be abandoned behavior
I understand this feeling
No good at all
When you're overwhelmed by despair
It's hard to work with a constructive head
you tend to say “NO GOOD AT ALL!”
“Start over from the beginning!!”
It feels like the ground has disappeared.
But please be patient
As fine as possible
find WHY you don't feel your drawing face is cute
WHY is not attractive to the eyes.
WHY your hair isn't working well
WHY The color is dirty
Why is not enough movement in the pose
Please write down the problem in detail
Then, select only one problem
that you think is the most problematic right now!
That will be the next challenge you will tackle
By the way, the task I chose at this time
was not knowing where to put the facial parts
That was the problem
Again, some people may have this question.
"There are so many problems
that I have no idea where to start!"
That's true
You can see it by looking at my memo.
I was like that too
But
especially in the case of character illustrations
the answer is clear
The first priority is
the face issue
Contour, eyes, nose, mouth, hair
Sorting and facial expressions by angle etc
Anyway, the top priority is
to solve problems related to the face.
You can leave the other problems aside for now
After face, Next is the body,
especially the hands
Because the hand is the most prominent part of the body
If done well, it becomes a strongpoint
So with the priority is face > body
Choose one of your challenges
4... Practice focusing on that one point
Well, the issues have been chosen only one
In my case
"I don't know where to put the facial parts."
was the issue
So, I will practice while being conscious of only that.
This is ... my practice note at that time
In my case like this
Divide into polygon parts
where and how to place the parts in three dimensions
to make it look attractive
that I was exploring
As a result
it may be better NOT to think
about the girl's face three-dimensionally
It come up with the conclusion like that
"What the hell is this hardship ..."
I thought at this time
I learned
"This kind of approach doesn't work."
I don't think it was waste of time
Also about drawing and copying
Let's do it at this stage if necessary
At this stage, the materials may not be enough
with the "model" decided in the first stage.
Looking for materials that you feel you need
Let's practice while referring to
However,
the point is to keep the practice only
to solve the problems you are having now.
Don't chase deeply
Studying for problem solving will help
This is because other purposeless practice
can be just an escape.
So if you decide to practice about eyes
just practice only eyes
Don 't make it to next stage for now,
You are practicing just for that you decided one!!
Only for that you practice
Don't forget it !!!
I can only say that this is different for each person.
Or rather, it's not something that can be cut off in time.
However, instead of time, one guideline is
"Discovery"
like "Oh! Okay! This might work!"
When there is a discovery
that can be used in such a next work
I think it's good to stop the practice for it
you would say
"No, no, no, but there is a guideline for time!
Please tell me timeline without any hassle! "
it may some people ask that
I ' ll tell you my practice time
I've decided to really face it for the last 3 months
In my case, I refused almost all the work
From about 5 am to sleep
Almost everything except sleeping time was devoted to this practice
my time line for this practice was
I spent about 13 hours a day for 2 days
total 26 hours
Well, even if I think about it now, it's really crazy
I don't think people with a normal life
can make that much time in the first place.
Divide the time
Instead, at least 2-3 hours a day
practice till something is discovered
I think it's good way to do
The point is not to do vaguely
You should sure to discover something
that works better than it is now!
It's important to set a goal
You can write down what you have found
or the hypothesis you have made in a notebook
as it can be an interrogative sentence like this
In my case, I wrote notes like this
"I thought it was good, but I didn't have enough cheeks."
"When you put out your cheeks, it looks like this"
You can see that even the process
of thinking like this is written down.
This will make it easier
for you to reach a specific awareness.
Don 't forget about write down
(Second water break)
5... Return to 2 reflecting what you practiced
Well, you did your best so far!
"Ha ~~! I made a serious work,
made clear the tasks, and practiced !!"
It got better ~~ !! "
Did you think that, din 't you?
THAT IS TOTALLY WRONG!!
Because this is the first round
The first round is the purpose of this practice method
It ’s a “stage for finding problems”.
That's right!
Rather, that you get better
it's from the second round
In the first round,
this is very difficult to say
you are NOT getting better!
If you think that you get better,,,
Sorry!
It's a misunderstanding!!
Now it's getting interesting
It's been exciting!
So what to do next
Your illustration that actually reflected the hypothesis
that you practiced in the first round and
made a hypothesis that "this should work"
Go back to step 2 and try drawing in serious mode with it!
This is it !!
sorry for that,
This is just the beginning.
And when you go to step 2,3,4 again and make a hypothesis
practice your hypothesis
Go back to step 2 and try to draw a serious illustration.
And when you proceed to step 2,3 and step 4
Go back to step 2 and repeat !!
You'll do this again and again and again.... !!
"Hey ..... you joking .....". don 't you?
"No, no, I can't do such a painful thing ....."
You thought that, don’t you?
That's why!
That's why this method works
If you use this method in business word
Because it is a way to rotate the PDCA cycle at super high speed.
PDCA
Plan → do → check → action
you make around this cycle again and again.
Discover and solve the problems!
Discover and solve the problems!!!
Discover and solve the problems!!!!!!
Repeat again and again,,,,
By doing so
Goals that were insanely distant at first
The walls that stood up to that point
You can surely get rid of each one
You can get closer to your goal in a short period of time.
By the way, the effective method I recommend is
This is not every time
If you go through this procedure 3 times 4 times
It ’s definitely better than before.
it will be in a stage where technique is on.
Then, at that stage, the illustration you drew before
remake your illustration
you can try to redraw the illustration
of the exact same pose with the ability at that time
You can see how well you have improved by doing
Because it also leads to up your motivation.
If you get tired on the way, please give it a try ....
"That .... I am so good before I knew it .... !!"
I think you can be impressed like that!
Well, talking so far, some people may be worried about this.
"Eh .... If I imitate that much model ....
I will loose my individuality ....
Illustrations are important to the author's individuality, right?
If your personality is completely gone ...
After all, I can't do it as a professional ... ?”
I agree. I think it's a natural worry
However
I would like to conclude this.
You don't have to worry at all !!
the reason is
No matter how seriously you try to erase your personality
somehow it’s comes out
while I'm doing this practice
I have been strongly conscious
That was "to be a copy of Mr. Ushi,
which seems to be a illustration of Mr. Ushi."
I thought I would completely erase that individuality.
But look at the results
people say ”I can notice in a second that is Saito's illustration ”
But at this time
I was surely completely trying to erase my personality
People said that they can notice its my illustration in a second!
It doesn't disappear even if you try to erase it!
That's how strong the individuality is.
About losing your personality,
You don't need to worry AT ALL!!!
And before
I said that personality is like coriander!
Because individuality is that strong
If you are too conscious of "let's add individuality"
Like a dish with too much coriander
The smell is too strong, like "Wow! stinks!! !!"
People who are not good at it will end up they cannot eat.
Just a little
It is just right to have a hidden taste
That is the individuality
Don't try to put it in, just add little bit.
Just add little tiny bit!!!
That is good enough
points to be careful
the above is the practice method of
"Illustration fastest improvement method complete version".
However, once again
there are some caution with this method.
This method is not a way to solidify from the basics.
Therefore, I think you could understand it by now
This can be quite a pain.
How painful is it?
For example, when playing Dragon Quest normally
When fighting the boss
Raise the level enough
After getting the conviction that "I can win this!"
after that you can challenge the boss, can’t you?
people usually don't want to lose
But this method is the opposite.
Level up? Not now, later later!
Let's fight the boss first!
and you probably will lose,
then after you lost
What kind of weapon will be good
and what kind of magic will work
And in what order do you attack
Think about it after you lost!
That's the way it is.
So there is no need to raise the level
You can clear the game at the fastest speed
In each boss battle each time
you will definitely lose!
And your lack of ability
it will hit you directly
so it’s painful
You will be suffering !!
It hurts!
Because this method is not a game but a living body
it ’s a practice that you do with your own body.
That is the reason why it is a powerful drug in this way.
So during the practice of this improvement method
you will be painful
Time to challenge
You will feel longer than usual
However, it is insanely effective.
And when you finished this training
and came out to the outside world
Perhaps the people around you look at
your illustration and say
"Why are you so good at painting !?"
"Did you do something special ??"
"Tell me HOW!"
like that,
Well the method itself is
As I just told you
I think it's easy to teach
So in this methodology itself
It ’s not worth it much.
Because as this knowledge
You can get it in your head right away.
Then what is the most valuable?
What is the real value of this method ...
That's ... you're going to try this method for real
And suffering .... and growing up ....
And 3 months later
the stuff held in your hand at that time
you noticed yourself.
only you will know what is true value
(This is ..... power .....)
That's what I wanted to tell you today.
