As far as painters are concerned, most people's impression is that they are sitting in the studio and doing crazy creations in the dark.
In fact, the same is true,
But what people like and yearn for most should be the outdoors. A person or a group of people organize each other and become a freelance artist who paints all over the streets.
They may not be too good and well-known,
Only the persistent love and joy of painting.


Many times it is very simple to pursue painting,
No bondage,
Liberate your depressed heart when needed,
Doodle some favorite small objects,
Maybe it's just a small notebook.


A set of impromptu sketches from Yoshito Fujiwara,
With this simple work,
Use lines to outline landscapes or doodle with color blocks,
Simple and instant creation,
It won the collection and liking of 1.33 million fans on X.


Yoshito: "How I went from having nothing, no skills, no savings, to turning a hobby into a job, if you want to turn a hobby into a job, don't be vague".
Yoshito started out as a cattle and horse living with all his strength,
Having a family and a life, working in the office is quite stressful,
At the age of 30, he finally made the bold idea of resigning.
This bold idea, neither sooner nor later, finally "forced" Yoshito to become a well-known illustrator.
This kind of experience also requires a certain amount of strength.


Yoshito: "The ideal way to work is to reduce stress as much as possible while still doing what you want."
Yoshito has been painting since he was very young,
Yoshito's unconstrained imagination has made him well received.
I loved painting as always in high school,
The university was admitted to an art university as he wished,
I'm thinking about drawing Yoshito,
I suddenly felt confused about my career after graduation,
"Can you make money by painting?"
After dropping out of college, Yoshito wandered around.


Yoshito started out experimenting with street comics,
He tried to meet all the requirements of his clients,
But Yoshito gradually lost interest in painting.
Later, after getting married and having children,
Yoshito ended up getting a job in a wine shop,
From this time on, Yoshito stopped painting at all, and just wanted to take care of his home life with peace of mind, not even a hobby.

▲ Some practice of light and shadow in famous paintings

I thought Yoshito wouldn't be engaged in any painting-related career,
But his wife is also an art student. Yoshito wanted to give her a gift, so he bought an iPad. He couldn't wait to try it out first, but he realized the fun of painting again.
Since then, he has fallen in love with painting again. Seeing the bustling advertisements and illustrations on the street, Yoshito feels that painting is really everywhere.
With nothing, no skills, no savings,
Yoshito resigned to paint full-time under the pressure of his family.
There is no choice but to spell out and make a living painting!
It just so happened that Yoshito passively became a freelance illustrator.

▲ ▼ Light and Shadow Exercises and Client Works

Yoshito: It's important not to be shy when drawing in the first place. When sharing your own works, you will inevitably be a little embarrassed, and the comments of netizens will inevitably be demanding. However, this embarrassment is your own problem and has nothing to do with what others think. What you need to do well is to improve and change bit by bit.


Pick up early painting skills,
Yoshito started sketching out with an iPad or sketchbook.
A lot of repeated painting and sketching work made him enjoy painting,
No matter where you go, the tour of a notebook and a pen is essential.
Painting is not that difficult for Yoshito,
He began to share his works on the Internet, which was unexpectedly concerned by crazy powder and was well received.


The sketch of ideas shared in Yoshito's informal work is simply a common landscape painting in daily life. Yoshito paints it in the simplest way.
Relaxed sketch or color style,
A street and a scenery are silently moving every audience.
Yoshito can firmly grasp every moment in life, a spatial perspective and a dense sense of rhythm between lines. This is what Yoshito's paintings look like, which makes people feel simple and amazing.
I also seem to feel the whole story change of Yoshito from a workaholic to a freelance painter.


When Yoshito can gain the resonance of online fans,
It also originated from the sake bar where I first graduated.
He likes the selfless and intoxicated time brought by sake,
After studying a lot of works,
Yoshito went to the boss for cooperation again,
It can also be said that his luck and strength are good,
Yoshito, with his knowledge of wine,
Soon there will be illustrations with different tastes and images,
The characteristics of wine can be accurately shared across the screen.
This became an important start for Yoshito.


▲ Write a book and share your painting experience

It has to be commendable that,
Many of Yoshito's illustrations depict scenes that can bring out the relationship between the characters and the story.
Maybe painters can do it easily,
But his paintings really hide an emotion,
He began to travel to the surrounding countries,
Record everything he knew and saw,
It is this dull painting life that can make people linger.


By painting,
Yoshito also relies on the support and affirmation of these 1.44 million fans,
He became a famous freelance illustrator,
The mutual support of material and spiritual life,
His boldness brought him a whole new life,
Walking on the street is the most beautiful scenery.


I only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals,
A few sketches in Yoshito's pen,
Bringing people to the color world belonging to painters,
There are details everywhere,
Life is everywhere,
I fell in love with such prose poems and paintings inexplicably.
