Tokyo life starting with painting

What does inspiration look like?

Higashinoji didn't know about others, he only knew about his own state of inspiration.

For example, Higashinoji's daily creations must go through the following steps - seeing something, generating a certain desire to create, forming the desire to create into a specific idea in the mind, and finally drawing it.

But if inspiration comes, Higashinoji can basically omit the two steps of 'generating the desire to create' and 'creating the desire to create ideas in the mind'.

In other words, there is no need to think at all, just take out what is in your mind and draw it.

And the quality of the finished product is very high, sometimes even surpassing a painting he carefully prepared and crafted.

Some people may think this is an exaggeration, but it is not an exaggeration.

A simple example is like when you play a game, when you are in bad shape, you may not be able to beat a silver player, but when you are in good shape, you may have to kill even diamond players.

This is the so-called state.

And Higashinoji is now in this state of inspiration explosion.

His senses seemed to be amplified. How the brush strokes under his hand would appear and what the picture would look like had been rehearsed in his mind, just waiting for him to take it out.

He painted very easily, with a relaxed and freehand feeling.

After staying in this state for almost an hour, Higashino took out a breath, stopped writing, and looked at the oil painting in front of him.

Warm-colored Tokyo streets, flamboyantly dressed pedestrians, rickety Japan, a dream-like era, and——

Higashinoji looked at the middle-aged man leaning on the telephone pole in the center of the picture.

It was so lively all around.

There was only a middle-aged man leaning on the telephone pole, crying and laughing.

The strong contrast between warm and cold tones highlights the middle-aged man.

The whole picture may seem out of place at first glance, but at the second glance, the middle-aged man will take away your attention, and the whole picture of the oil painting becomes particularly serious, with a strong sense of irony.

This middle-aged man not only uses Tamura as an image, but also the images of office workers and down-and-out homeless people that Higashinoji saw in Tokyo in the past two months are hidden in it.

The meaning of this painting is actually very simple.

Whether it’s the bright and impetuous side of the upper class or the dark and depressing side of the lower class, they all belong to Tokyo.

It's like this everywhere, full of two sides.

So the title of this painting is -

Tonoji reached out and wrote the title.

"Tokyo".

Then he wrote his name underneath and called it a day.

Of course, this is just a first draft, and some of the colors above still need to be refined. It will probably take four or five coats of paint before it is officially finished.

This painting is for the adult category of the Tokyo Youth Art Prize, and there is absolutely no problem with its quality.

If we talk about the painting "Tokyo Sunset·Impression", it depicts the scenery of Tokyo as seen by Higashinoji.

So this painting "Tokyo" depicts all kinds of people that Higashinoji came into contact with.

Toyoji retracted his hand with satisfaction, then turned sideways and whispered his thanks to the female college student next to him.

In the middle of the painting, he actually noticed that there were people around him and gathered around him. It was the female college student on the street whom he met for the first time who kindly dispersed the crowd.

Moreover, I also used the other party’s painting tools, canvas, and paints.

"Sorry, I will pay." Tonoji thanked him and took out 10,000 yen from his wallet and handed it to the other party.

But what Higashino didn't expect was that the female college student actually shook her head slightly, and just pointed at the oil painting painted by Higashi out of curiosity.

"You mean you want to take a look?" Higashino asked, moving away.

The female college student nodded.

She seems to be the type who doesn't like to talk much and is very quiet.

But unlike Konoe Ryoka, who doesn't dare to speak, she just doesn't like to talk. She looks generous and gentle.

She looked at the painting drawn by Higashikata. After a while, she nodded gently to Higashino: "The painting is very good."

"Really? I think it's okay, but there are many shortcomings. It's just a draft and needs to be refined." Higashino nodded.

"It's just a draft." This gentle girl seemed a little unable to accept it, but she quickly took out her phone and looked at Higashinoji with her big eyes that seemed to be able to speak.

"You want to take pictures?"

Higashikata understood what she meant.

The other party said 'hmm', then tilted his head slightly, holding a flip phone with a pink shell in his white palm, and looked up: "No?"

Higashinoji naturally agreed.

After all, the other person's paints, painting tools, and everything else were used. It would be too much to not even take a picture of the other person.

"Thank you." The other party thanked him, and with a serious expression, he picked up his phone, pointed it at the oil painting, and took two pictures.

Then he consciously walked to the other side under Higashinoji's gaze and looked at him eagerly.

"Huh? Are you done now?"

Higashinoji originally wondered if the other party would go around and take a look at the painting again, but unexpectedly she took a photo and then consciously gave up her position.

"Well, that's enough." The female college student nodded.

This is really a girl with personality.

Higashikata couldn't help but look at the other person.

Her long, straight black hair fell down her shoulders, and the two strands of hair on her temples were tied with a band, making her look very demure.

She has a face with oval seeds, a small nose, and wears glasses on her pink face, which makes her appear to be intellectually serious--but her breasts are a bit small. Compared with college students of the same age, she looks flatter.

She watched Higashino remain silent, then pointed at the easel, expressing only one meaning - the photo is taken, you can move the painting away.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of accepting his money, Higashino thought for a moment and thanked him again: "Thank you very much this time."

"No." The female college student rarely shook her head. She looked thoughtfully at the name on Higashinoji's oil painting for a long time, and finally shook her head: "Move the painting away."

After saying this, she had no intention of talking to Touyesi.

Seeing her like this, Touyoshi didn't mean to disturb her anymore.

After all, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and it took him a lot of time to draw this manuscript.

He left a contact information for the female college student, saying that he remembered that she had helped this time, and he would also help if the other party had something to do.

""

Looking at Higashinoji's leaving back, the female college student couldn't help biting her thumb gently, and then made a soft and soft voice with a little unwillingness:

"Is he Mr. Higashino who painted "The Ring"?"

“I can also paint oil paintings so well.”

Her face, as calm as water, rarely wavered.

She turned to look at the big bag she had brought.

It's filled with comic manuscripts

Those are the original comics of "Between Dolls".

So unwilling

She bit her thumb gently again, looking in the direction of Higashinoji who was leaving with watery eyes.

I heard from the editor that he is only sixteen years old. Why is he so good when he is just a freshman in high school?

I am so envious and unwilling to give in.
