Cherish the initial inspiration.
Takano: Thank you very much. Takeuchi-san, you create an illustration of an artist every month as a serial essay project for TOWER RECORD’s “NO MUSIC, NO LIFE”. What is your favorite one?
Takeuchi: Most of them are my favorites, but when it’s a band with a lot of people, I can use a lot of colors, so it’s nice and lively.
Takano: The background color is also chosen to match the mood of the person each month. Please check it out.
Celeina：Is there anything you consider important when drawing pictures?
Takeuchi：As I said, the first image is important, so it is the first impression. Then there is the deadline, because if I don’t decide on an end, I end up doing it in a lazy way.
Takano: It depends on the work, but how long does it take you to draw one picture?
Takeuchi：It often takes me a long time to decide on an image. Once I have decided, I often paint in a day.
Celeina：You said that first impressions are important when you paint. If you were to paint Takano, the MC, what color would you choose?
Takeuchi：Light green.
Celeina：Light green! That was an immediate answer, wasn’t it?
Takeuchi：I gave an immediate answer (haha). If I hesitate, it becomes difficult to decide.
Takano: So you decide by intuition. I will refer to it.
