Decision to do art and the urge to improve. 好きなアニメ

Wanting to Improve 

_{うまくなりたい}

    I  

went to Paris last week. Visited two friends and met several new people. One of my oldest friends Paul took me to a Portuguese bar, where I met a Russian girl, who studied English back home and then decided to study art in Paris. The conversation flowed and she asked me why I decided to do art.

---

I never did that.

I never had to decide to do art.

It's the other way around. I made active decisions to quit. The longest I could hold was about a year. When I finally stopped resisting and took a pencil, I magically improved. As if I never quit.

Drawing and painting do need practice of hand. But it might have more to do with vision. So unless I go blind I'll keep on improving.

One day I woke up and stopped resisting. If I can't follow through, what's the point of quitting then?

I have many other explanations. But this is the most distilled one :)

Something else.

Whenever I'm asked about my favourite anime I usually reply Haikyuu, automatically. It's a story about a high school volleyball team and its two genius protagonists. I often listen to the series while drawing.

Last time I actually watched something lengthy was Hibike! Euphonium in 2016.
It's a story about a brass band kids who want to win the national brass band competition. Hibike! Euphonium is a lot closer to what I go through on the daily basis. You can try as hard as you want, but you can't win in this :D You can improve and become better and better, repeating it until you die. Your work may be selected and might not. Depending on what fits at the time. A lot of rejection and criticism. Some professors actually pick fights with students, drive them to the edge just to see what happens.

Everybody here just wants to become truly special and do something different from everyone else I suppose.

好きなアニメシリーズのどれでしょうかと考えて、少し悩みました。
ハイキュー！！をよく聞いています。特にドローイングするときに、音だけを流して、描いています。音楽とかより集中がしやすいですね。２０分ごと区切ってあるし、時間の流れがわかります。でも好きなアニメですかね？

アニメ映画は別としてシリーズものでしたら。。。

響け！ユーフォニアムが好きですかな＾＾。自分の生活になんとなく近いものです。
うまくなりたい気持ちややめたいけど、やめられない気持ち、うまくできなくて選ばれない悩みと動力、全部はとてもよく表現できて、共感してしまいます。
音楽をやっているわけではないのですが、目指すことがあれば、青春が終わらないでしょう。

吹奏楽部が好きな方にオススメですよ♡

私の子供たちの高校はmusicで有名な学校です。うちの子供たちも弦楽器(ギター、ベース) をやっています。ユーフォニアムの音色はいいですよね ^^

@fukako, I think it's profound that you never had to start and if anything only tried to quit. Yet, you couldn't quit what is inherent in your nature. You're oddly inspirational in a geeky, beautiful way.
