(Okay, these shadows look fine...

All that's left is to even out the shading...)

Alright, that's one down...

(I feel like I was able to finish a lot faster compared to yesterday. But I'm still having trouble getting it to look three-dimensional...)

(I'll draw another one while I'm at it...

I should focus on creating more depth by being more careful with the lines I draw this time.)

<Is anyone else here already?>

<I'm here! I think Enanan also is...>

<But she's on mute.

Maybe she isn't here right at this moment...>

Huh? It's 25:00 already...?

<Sorry, I'll get to work now!>

<Is everything okay? If there's something you need to do, it's fine for you to focus on that.>

<No, that's okay. I just reached a good place to stop, so I'll start working on what I was doing yesterday.>

(I wanna practice doing sketches a little more, but I also don't want to cut corners with N25...)

(I can get back to what I was doing once I've finished working on what I need to today.)

(I need to draw as much as possible, and do it with care. I have to get better.)

(I wanna become better and...)

No. For now, I just need to work harder.

That concludes today's class.

*Sigh*

(I got an earful again today...

But I guess that to be expected since I'll still not up to par.)

I really liked the still-life drawing you made today, Ena.

Huh? Really...?

Yeah. The glass you drew looked so real, and you did such a good job with that lemon's shadow. It felt really three-dimensional.

Plus, Mr. Yukihira didn't seem to have any complaints regarding those things.

Right.

(Thank goodness. I feel like I'm starting to get better at doing sketches.)

(My progress has been slow, but it's good to know that I'm improving. And I just gotta keep trying...)

Lastly, I have an announcement to make.

An announcement...?

What do think he's going to talk about?

As I do each year, I'll be holding a special course on technical mastery for those aiming to get into art school.

I strongly suggest to all prospective applicants to not pass up this opportunity.

Oh...

It's that time of year.

Yeah...

(His course on technical mastery and getting into art school...)

(He works individually with each of his students, right? Sketches, oil paintings, everything...)

...

(Each year many of his students get accepted because they took this course.)

(If I'm serious about getting into art school, then I should take this opportunity to get him to teach me one-on-one.)

(But...)

Those who are interested will have until next month to let me know. For now, good work today.

...
