The special images that appear to have been processed by camera filters are actually illustrations by Japanese artist Kazuhiko Okushita. He is good at painting with one stroke and is willing to challenge various difficult themes, such as "One stroke" "Draw the perspective of a rhinoceros with one stroke", "Draw the girl under the tree with one stroke" or "Draw the entire classroom with one stroke", etc. The complex lines are zigzag and winding, and it really makes your eyes dazzle when you see them, even if you take a picture with a pen If you follow the existing lines and draw them, you may accidentally "lose them"!
Although Kazuhiko Okushitas works do not require coloring, the required painting skills and rendering effects are not compromised at all. This style of painting is called "ippitsugaki" in Japan, which roughly means "one-stroke painting" (please correct me if there is a more precise wording).
Okushita Kazuhikos ippitsugaki is not only used in flat paintings, but also in dynamic gifs and short films. The same theme has to be repeated many times. It seems that the same picture scene actually needs to be readjusted. There are many things that need to be adjusted in production. The difficulty is definitely greatly improved, but the fun and challenge are also doubled. I guess this is also the motivation that stimulates Kazuhiko Okushita to continue using such techniques to create!

To paint with one stroke, you have to break away from the usual way of thinking. Every time you go around a corner, you have to think about how to go next so as not to get stuck. You also have to consider the overall composition and reasonable object proportions. , it should be a rather troublesome creation, and looking at the crooked lines, I really wonder whether after completing a work, Kazuhiko Okushita can "repeat the original path" and create an exact painting?
