Hello
I hope you're all doing well. Last time we talked about my first pen portrait and the conditions under which I created it.
After doing this portrait, I created another pen portrait. The portrait I created was of myself.
I also created it on another blank page of the book. However, I haven't yet found the page where I drew mine.
I then asked a Japanese language classmate if he would be willing to offer himself as a model for his portrait, which would be done with a black Schneider ballpoint pen. He didn't refuse. I asked if I could take a picture with my phone. I then showed it to him, but he wasn't happy with the result. I then gave him my phone so he could take some selfies of himself.
It was almost time for class. He had returned my phone to me since class was about to start. I asked him for a piece of paper so I could draw his portrait right away.
I tentatively began painting his portrait before the teacher arrived. I was so focused on the portrait that I hadn't seen the teacher arrive. As soon as I knew he was in the room, I stopped everything, even though I'd come back later to continue drawing the portrait. Once or twice during class, I found myself drawing the rest of the portrait while the teacher's back was turned. When it came to my turn to answer questions, I was a little lost.
It took me a while to answer because I was distracted by the portrait. So I decided to just follow the class. Japanese remains a fairly difficult language to master. Street Japanese, or how to express yourself in Japanese on the street with family, is different from how to speak in a social setting or at work. You can improve your level of street Japanese by watching anime or manga. Speaking Japanese in real life, or even writing Japanese, remains quite complex, given that they've added Chinese characters to their writing system. Anyway, at the end of the class I went home to finish the portrait.
Once I got home, I sent him a photo of the stage I was at. He wasn't happy with the result. I still notified him that the portrait wasn't finished yet. He then sent me another photo, feeling that his photo (or his selfie, better, his initial photo pose) wasn't good.
I ignored his message because, oddly enough, I was also eager to see the final portrait. I sent him another photo of the progress of his portrait. He ignored me in turn.
When I finished his portrait, he approved the result, sent me lots of satisfied emoticons, and even asked me to send him the final portrait in HD.
Thank you for reading this article, in which I explain how I created my third portrait with a black Schneider ballpoint pen. This portrait will be considered my second portrait with a pen. Until the third portrait, take care.
