Probably two more days before the “heavenly furnace” shuts down —
Over here in Tokyo, weather forecasts still say
this “natural blast furnace” of the hot spell will leave
this coming Thursday. If correct, I have to get along with
the natural furnace just two more days.
So, this series of “praying for the weather to cool down”
will soon come to the end for this year.
Here, out of my past works, I’ve brought up a live drawing of
a human model seen from the right front.
You see, this angle, from which the model’s eyes stare right
at you, can be scary somehow.
Then, why did I choose this angle??
Easy to explain. The right fron was the only room left.
I arrived at the drawing session venue some 10 minutes
before the session began, yet most of the floor spave was already taken, and “right in front” was the only room left.
So, I intentionally drew the model’s eyes larger than life,
in order to magnify the “scary” effect.
