| Author's Note |

I have been in the art industry for a long time and have created many works.
Then, while I was cleaning out my house a while ago, I happened to come across a painting I had done with a fervent heart.
I looked at it with a nostalgic heart, thinking that it was an opportunity to look back at the starting point, but there were many things that bothered me, so I decided to make some corrections.
Then, I remembered the way I had been thinking back then, and at the same time, I was able to find bad drawing habits and things to reflect on that I had not been aware of at the time.
That discovery led me to write this book.
I'm a little embarrassed to reveal my old, clumsy work, but I decided to do so in hopes that it might be helpful to you.
