Beyond Drawing ― A New Endeavor on YouTube and note

I launched a YouTube channel in June 2026 and released my first video on July 16.
Also, on note, I have started a series titled "Croquis Anatomy: 'The Momentum of Antinomy'" since May 2026.
Lately, I have spent a lot of time preparing for YouTube and note, but it is finally starting to take shape little by little.
From now on, while continuing to update Instagram as a "portfolio" and "gallery," I would like to transmit content on each medium.

On YouTube, I currently publish videos centered on the process of drawing croquis.
I hope you can feel the process of lines being born, as well as the time spent drawing itself.
Making videos has a different kind of difficulty from drawing pictures.
While there are many things to think about, such as composition and how to present it, on the other hand, there are also things that can only be conveyed through video.
I feel that being able to leave the flow of the moment of drawing and the changes in lines born on the spot as a record is a charm unique to video.
Although not everything, the attempt to leave the production process is a very interesting endeavor for me as well.
Looking back later, I feel a little embarrassed, but if you can enjoy watching that process, I would be very happy.

On note, along with organizing my past experiences within myself, for those who want to draw croquis from now on, I am summarizing things such as "how to draw" and "what to value," based on my own experience.
The series "Croquis Anatomy: 'The Momentum of Antinomy'" is being written with the goal of completing it as a single system, not simply as an explanation of techniques, but as a "technique book" and as something that passes on a "way of thinking" for drawing.
Writing for note takes a huge amount of time, even more than producing videos.
After all, putting into words without contradiction what is understood intuitively is a difficult task.
In person, one can explain using gestures or facial expressions, or while observing the other person's reaction.
However, in writing, that cannot be done. Even things understood as intuition will become difficult to convey unless put into words one by one.
Because of that, there are parts that inevitably become logical. However, putting "why it becomes so" into words also leads to organizing my own intuition.
And I believe that content might also become a signpost for those who wish to draw croquis from now on.
■ Beyond Drawing
Under the theme of "Beyond Drawing," I currently continue to output in several forms, including this blog.
However, at the root of it all is "drawing."
Leaving the process through videos.
Organizing intuition and ways of thinking through writing.
I believe that all of them are one form of continuing to face drawing and expressing.
Therefore, right now, while struggling, I am creating while enjoying that time itself.
Also, without being limited to these media, I hope to continue challenging things that seem interesting from now on.
If you are interested, I would be happy if you could enjoy them in your own way.
