Ena

Listen

Thanks for waiting, Rin.
I brought those pencils and sketchbooks I said I'd bring the other day.
3

Rin

Okay...
But how exactly do you do still-life drawings?
4

Ena

Listen

Umm...
Actually, Rin, can you guess what that involves?
5

Rin

Listen

Drawing what you see.
6

Ena

Listen

Exactly. Your goal is to carefully observe your model and capture its shape, texture and such in your drawing.
7

Ena

Listen

However, Rin, you'll just be doing a sketch now and coloring it in later.
8

Ena

Listen

Your sketch will turn out better if you make sure not to press down too hard with your pencils or make the lines too thick.
9

Rin

Okay, I'll be careful...
10

Ena

Listen

In any case, actually drawing is the best way to learn, so let's get started.
11

Ena

Listen

Feel free to ask me any questions you have. I'll try to give you whatever advice I can while drawing alongside you.
12

Ena

Listen

So, let's begin with your overall composition.
13

Rin

Listen

I know what that is...
You're always trying to fix your drawings because of it.
14

Ena

Listen

That's because I keep thinking it'll make my drawings look better if I do. But I always obsess over it too much and end up torturing myself instead.
15

Rin

Then, this isn't as hard as you make it seem?
16

Ena

Listen

Hmm...
I think that depends on who you ask...
17

Ena

Listen

For now, why don't we decide what's going to be at the very center of your drawing?
18

Rin

Listen

The very center?
19

Ena

Listen

Yeah, whatever's gonna sit in the middle.
The thing you want to draw the most.
20

Rin

The thing I want to draw the most...?
21

Rin

Listen

Then, the door...
22

Ena

Listen

Really? Sounds good.
Next, what sort of angle do you wanna draw the door from.
23

Ena

Listen

You could look at it straight on, from the left or from the right... It could look drastically different depending on which angle you choose.
24

Rin

Hmm...
I think I wanna include some of the stepping stones leading up to it.
25

Ena

Listen

Okay. Then, why don't we try walking around to find a good angle that includes them?
26

Ena

Listen

You could also go a little further by considering the height from which you draw.
27

Rin

Listen

There's so much to think about...
28

Ena

Listen

This is like the bare minimum.
Anyway, if you don't hurry, I'm gonna find the better spot.
29

Rin

No, that's not happening...
The next day

Listen

Oh... I drew it too big again...
31

Rin

Things in the distance need to be smaller...

Miku

Listen

How's your drawing coming along, Rin...?
33

Rin

So, I've drawn the lake...
But I'm having trouble with the things sticking out of it.
34

Rin

Listen

I redrew them over and over.
My paper's a mess now...
35

Len

Listen

But the ones on the right look really good...
36

Rin

...
37

Rin

Listen

Miku, Len, wanna try drawing something...?
38

Miku

Us?
39

Len

Wow... Thanks, Rin!

Luka, move...

43

Rin

Listen

Phew...
My second one's finished.
44

Rin

It looks a lot better than the one I drew with Ena.
45

Rin

Still, the things up close and far away look kinda funny...
46

Rin

Listen

I should practice some more.
I still have plenty of pages left in this sketchbook...
47

Rin

I wonder if Ena also thinks about this stuff while working on her drawings...
48

Rin

Is that why she always looks so serious or like she's in pain...?
49

Rin

Listen

(Ena cares a lot more about what she draws compared to me.)
50

Rin

(But I think I understand how she feels a little better now...)
51

Rin

Listen

I'll try drawing a third one.
