[June/July 2026] Looking back at June with drastically improved work efficiency due to new PC implementation and goals for July

June was a month in which my creative drive suddenly accelerated.

The excitement was nonstop, especially in the second half, and one of the reasons for that was—We're introducing a new PC.

By getting my ideal gaming PC for 220,000 yen, my work efficiency has improved dramatically, and I now have an environment where I can start working on illustrations and video editing the moment I feel like it!

Actually, at first I was almost persuaded to buy a PC in the 400,000 yen range, but thanks to the AI consultation, I was able to make a calm decision and ultimately found a partner with "just the right performance."

(More details on this topic are available in the article.)

This will surely be helpful for anyone who, like me, is struggling to choose a PC.

[June/July 2026] Looking back at June with drastically improved work efficiency due to new PC implementation and goals for July

So, June was the month in which the foundation for my creative work was laid.
From here, I will reflect on the creative activities I undertook in June.
I'd like to summarize the goals I want to further improve in July.

Looking back on my creative activities in June

Although I didn't have as much time to draw in June as I had hoped,ブThis month I was able to consistently continue the "communication" aspect, such as updating my log and posting on YouTube.That's it.

There isn't just one form of creative expression, and I believe that being able to continue outputting my work like this is a big step forward.

Things I learned while creating the animation for the heart forecast

Of the illustrations I drew in June, the one that left the biggest impression on me wasThe applause part of the "Heart Forecast" animationIs.

I focused on capturing subtle movements, such as the swaying of the hair and ears, and the patterns and fluttering of the skirt."Okay, I did it!"That's what I thought, but...

...Something's not right!?

In an attempt to uncover the source of the unease, I observed and investigated the actual movements, "I didn't even know that frame-by-frame playback was possible."I realized this shocking fact.

Here's a YouTube short summarizing those insights:

In the future, I want to make better use of frame-by-frame animation to create more natural-looking movements.I'll get revenge on this applause part!

Creating a new key visual using Stickybones

June brought another significant achievement:I drew my own new key visual.

Since we didn't have a key visual until now, we used "Stickybones" this time.Assume a pose while being mindful of your skeletal structure.Let's start from there.

Thanks to Stickybones, I've gained a deeper understanding of things like, "This is how the body looks when you stand at this angle!" and it's made drawing even more enjoyable.

This article discusses the appeal of Stickybones in detail, so please read it if you're interested.

notice

In my self-introduction video, I introduced myself as a "book-loving YouTuber," but from now on... Self-proclaimed illustrator type I've decided to continue working in this capacity.

I plan to share my creative process and illustrations primarily through my blog, and also post content on YouTube on the same themes.

This is the first video I've ever posted on this channel, so I wanted to keep it as a memento.
From now on, I'll be focusing on content related to illustrations and creative work, and gradually developing the channel.

Creative goals for July: Action and focus

The main theme for July is, quite simply, "Just take action and focus!" I'm going to make full use of the creative environment that I've put in place in June.

Revisions and progress toward the completion of the cardiac forecast.

I've been continuing this since last month."Heart Forecast" animationI noticed some mistakes, so I'll start by carefully correcting those.

We'll keep making progress on the video while making corrections.Progress updates will be posted on YouTube Shorts as they occur.We plan to do so.

I want to keep making small steps forward and turn them into something big by the end of July.

Create one full-length video for YouTube.

Since June only had short videos, July will be...I'm trying my hand at making a long video again.I will.

In the short story I posted last month, The number of subscribers increased by 5. I was so happy about that, and it made me want to create videos that more people would watch!

In July, I'll continue making short videos, but I'll also start working seriously on producing longer videos.

Summary: Make July a "month of action"

In June, there were still many things I wanted to do but couldn't do, so in July, I'm going to focus on... Month to increase activity I'll do that.

Since getting my new PC, I've developed the habit of turning it on every day, so I want to continue this routine and make creative work a part of my daily life.

And if many people can see my work and activities, that alone would make me truly happy.
