Eldest Son vs. Yokan: The Fated 'Drawing' Showdown
First of all, let me make an excuse.
On this day, I...
had come home from work in the heat, taken a bath, and was 'dead drunk' on sparkling white wine while my blood circulation was good.
Just the other day, my eldest son challenged me to a 'drawing showdown'.
As I have written in several articles so far,
quality aside, I absolutely love 'drawing'.
So, of course, I 'readily accepted'.
However.
Let me make an excuse one more time; I was in the state I described at the beginning.
Well, people dislike long-winded preambles, so I would like to report on the 'parent-child drawing showdown' immediately.
[Round 1: Gorilla🦍]
Eldest son wins by KO.
[Review]
I don't think the nose I drew in the first stroke was bad, but it was a painful mistake to draw hair in the second stroke.
Did my 'obsession with hair' make me do that?
'Gorilla' vs 'Bigfoot?'.
The outcome was clear.
[Round 2: Owl🦉]
Eldest son wins by decision.
[Review]
Regarding this one, it's rare, but the eldest son also feels like he 'messed up' a little, doesn't he?
However, he was lucky with his opponent.
I started drawing from the outline, but on the second stroke, I thought, 'Do owls have ears?' and from there, I went wildly astray.
Still, even though I was drunk, a 'creature no one knows' was born😆
'Ghost-style Owl' vs 'UMA'.
Since he at least 'managed to draw an owl,' it resulted in the eldest son's consecutive victory.
[Round 3: Pig 🐷]
Yokan wins by decision.
[Commentary]
As if the previous two rounds were a lie, Yokan-papa did a 'good job' here.
I wonder why.
I suppose you could call it 'the advantage of experience'; I don't think anyone can beat me when it comes to drawing pigs.
Is this also thanks to a certain Mr. O-shi-tao?
The cuteness of my eldest son's pig is hard to dismiss, but please let me have this victory for the sake of O-tao.
[Round 4 (Final): Cat 🐱]
Eldest son wins by KO.
What's terrifying is that this was Yokan's absolute, no-joke, 'serious' effort.
My bad habit of 'not even glancing at things I'm not interested in' came out.
It seems I am completely hopeless at drawing from a 'blank slate without a reference'.
Still, it's 'occult,' isn't it (speaking as if it's someone else's problem).
I basically don't grasp 'where an animal's ears are located.' While I kept redrawing the ears, it ended up looking like a 'sickly black devil' 😆
Even though I was in a drunken state, it seems I have given birth to 'a monster not of this world.'
'Pretty Cat' vs. 'Monster Full of Ears'.
Could someone please perform an exorcism so I don't get cursed by 'Full of Ears'?
Let's just stop talking about the win-loss record now.
And so, this 'drawing showdown' between me and my eldest son came to a close with 3 wins and 1 loss for my eldest son.
Using this frustration as a springboard, I definitely want to get my revenge while 'sober' next time.
As long as I'm 'sober,' I can make it a good match, and I can also look forward to the birth of a 'long-awaited new character.'
My eldest son also seems to find my 'lack of drawing skill' quite hilarious, so a 'next battle' should be coming soon.
'King of Predictions' and 'King of Drawing.'
I'm a greedy person, so I intend to get my hands on both.💪
*Note: Regarding[Round 5: Dragon🐲], Yokan's creation was so 'creepy' that I hesitated to release it, so I have self-censored it.👻
