7.What did Kei used to draw?

I liked to draw solid, mechanism, right bones and muscle.
I wondered why picture on paper looks real, I wanted to be a simulator.
At last I found picture should not be simulation and it is a message.

----------------------------
8,What Kei want to draw?

I want to ROCK somebody.
Shoot gallery's eyes through my characters' eyes, make them feel same emotions that I have.
I am going to draw relationships between cameraman and model.
Photograph shows distance between cameraman and model, it is like family's eyes or lovers' eyes or fan's eyes.
I want to draw lovers' distance, and make gallery feel my many emotions.

8.1 Why girls? Is there any model?

Every characters are myself. I am male but easily express thoughts with female surface. it would be nice if I get female body in another life.
I don't know why but I never feel like to draw male.

8.2 Next target is derSheltie!

I don't have enough friends so I tag derSheltie.
He was a member in my anime making club.
