watched Yasuo Otsuka drawing Goemon. astonished. reassured.

people choose different idols and different people whom they consider examples to follow. commercially successful, famous throughout the world creators of big companies, researchers, professors, other celebrities, 'chosen' ones. their quotations are written all over the web, in communities, groups, on personal pages and in profiles
mostly they teach us how to live, tell us what to do. I am already tired of reading those 'wise' advices. at first the trend was interesting, now 'tis nothing else than boring
I personally prefer listening to those whom I trust and admire myself, not hear rumours about someone or something. I could call them 'sensei' - a convenient Japanese word, something between 'teacher', 'tutor', and simply 'man worthy of respect'
somehow, a short video from Yasuo Otsuka calms me down much more than a thousand of empty words I read in other sources
this is the speed-up version which only makes one envious of the animator's ability to draw so perfectly
however, watching the full version was really not a waste of time
'you need to imagine it. you can watch a real person, too, but you certainly need to imagine how it is going to be'
'is it good or no good? you won't understand until you draw. ...no one has confidence. when you draw, only then for the first time you realise - 'oh, this is good', or 'this does not go well'. you can also ask the opinion of other people. ...you do not notice it yourself. you do not, because you are absorbed in drawing.'
'even young people can study this. studying is also a talent. studying, working hard... this is one kind of talent. not all can do it. they have so many things to do - watching TV, playing games...'
