May Dormitory Diary Entry - Kuroda (Patreon)

Hello, Kuroda here.

This is my dormitory diary entry for May.

I went back home for Golden Week, and maybe it was because I’d gotten used to my life in Tokyo, but I woke up in the morning to find that my face was all swollen like I had an extra layer of skin around my eyes. I assume it had something to do with my body being shocked by the change of environment. Maybe it was because I’d been eating out a lot with my family since they were so glad to have me back, or maybe it was the change in temperature? I can’t be sure, but all I know is that it felt different and strange.

After that, I got 2 packages of nori on my way back from my parents' house. Then, I got another one from my mom’s side of the family. I remember thinking that they gave me enough to feed a whole family. I figure they must be looking out for me.

I’ve been practicing anatomy lately. I studied anatomy a ton in university, but I often feel as though I'm still unpracticed so I plan on going through my anatomy books 2 or 3 more times.

I’m itching to get back to practicing in-betweens. I hardly feel myself improving right now and I wanna change that. I wanna get to animation work as quickly as I can, but I know that rushing things won’t do me any good so I’m just staying in my lane and approaching my training with care.

I was told the other day that my lines have started to change, so I’ll take that as a good sign and keep on going.

こんにちは、黒田です。

5月の寮生日記です。

GWに里帰りをしたのですが東京での一人暮らしに慣れてきたせいか朝起きると顔がぱんぱんに膨れ上がり目が一重から二重になっていました。実家では私の帰りをとても喜んでくれてほとんど外食だったからか気温であったり空気が違うなぁと感じていたので環境の変化に体が驚いたからなのか原因がわからず不思議な体験をしました。

それから、帰りに実家で海苔を瓶2つ分もらって、先日母方の実家から海苔の瓶が１つ届きました。ひと家族分くらいあるなぁと思いながらなんだかんだ私を心配してくれているのだろうなとほっこりしました。

最近、私は人体の練習をしています。あれだけ大学時代に練習したのにも関わらず身についていなかったと感じることが多く自分の持っている人体の本を2、3周はしたいと考えています。

動画研修ですが個人的には全く自身の成長がみれずうずうずしている状態です。早く動画のお仕事がしたい！と思いつつ、焦ってもいい動画が描けるわけでもないので自分のペースで丁寧に研修に取り組んでいこうと思います。

先日線が変わり出したと言ってもらったのでこの調子で頑張ります。
