Ena, the chairs and easels are here.
We can sit... There's a lot of people, so how about here?

Yukihira
It's nice to see some familiar faces here again...
Yukihira
This workshop will last for three days. You will not only be working on your foundational principles, we will also be having deep discussions regarding your work. I hope you're all ready.

(Day one involves drawing sketches, day two is oil painting and we'll be given a theme to draw as we wish on day three...)

You're too conscious of your light source here, so it's too detailed. It should be more like this...
Ena
(We're drawing flowers and sculptures today. Their textures are completely different, so I have to find a way to make them look distinct from one another...)
Ena
(Is my light source in the wrong place?
Is that why my drawing looks like it has no depth...?)

Ena
(Her sketch looks so real. No one ever goes this far. Her shadowing's so detailed too...)
Yukihira
Everything okay, Shinonome...?
Ena
(Just keep drawing... Just keep drawing... That's all I can do right now. I knew that I'd be the worst one before I came here...!)

Alright, time's up.
Let's begin reviewing your work.

We'll start with this one.
Whose is this?
Whose is this?
Yukihira
Overall, it looks slanted, and the jawline appears bent. Is this really the sculpture you saw, Shinonome...?
Yukihira
Your use of shadow needs work as well. It's as if you've forgotten all your basic principles.
Yukihira
Next.
Ah, Natsuno, this must be yours.

Yukihira
Hmm...
Yukihira
I have nothing to say...
If anything, it's rather ordinary. I suggest you put more effort into composition next time.

(Not only that, I still can't draw to save my life. Mr. Yukihira gave me his two cents as usual too.)
Ena
(Why did I run away that time...?
Would I have gotten better like the others if I stayed...?)

Futaba
Oh, um... I joined the art club at my high school and started coming here every day.
Futaba
Yes, but I wasn't sure if once or twice a week would be enough to get in since it's the most competitive art school in Japan. That's why I asked my mom if I could start coming here every day.
Futaba
It's almost as if you're seeing a different world, and able to express yourself in ways that the rest of us can't...
Futaba
I've actually tried copying you a few times in the past, but I was never able to capture your style.
