And another thing that I enjoy doing is drawing. Drawing, because I like to draw, you know, Japanese anime art. I think that's a craze among teens right now.
另外一个我爱干的事情是画画,我喜欢画日本动画,这个现在在青少年中非常疯狂。
And once I realized it, there's a parallel between creating music and creating art,
当我意识到在创作音乐和创作视觉艺术之间有一种平行关系。
because for your motive, or your little initial idea for your drawing, it's your character --
因为你的(音乐)动机或者你画画的开始想法,代表你的品质─
you want to decide who you want to draw, or if you want to draw an original character.
你自己需要决定你要画谁,或者你想原创一个人物。
And then you want to decide: How are you going to draw the character? Like, am I going to use one page?
之后你需要决定,你要怎么画这个人物?比如说,我是不是要在一张纸上画出来?
Am I going to draw it on the computer? Am I going to use a two-page spread like a comic book? For a more grandiose effect, I guess.
还是要在电脑上画出来?我还是要在两页纸上像漫画叙诉的方式画出来?这样看起来更有气魄,我想是?
And then you have to do the initial sketch of the character, which is like your structure of a piece,
然后你要构画人物的草图,就像曲子的结构。
and then you add pen and pencil, and whatever details that you need -- that's polishing the drawing.
然后你要用钢笔和铅笔加入所有你想要的细节,这就是打磨这个画。
And another thing that both of these have in common is your state of mind, because I know I'm one of those teenagers that are really easily distracted.
另外一个这两件事的共同点是,是你的心理状态,因为我不...我不是那种容易分心的青少年。
So if I'm trying to do homework and I don't feel like it, I'll try to draw or, you know, waste my time.
如果我使劲想做作业我使劲想,但我并不喜欢它,我会去画点东西,或者你知道吗,会浪费时间。
And then what happens is, sometimes I absolutely can't draw or I can't compose at all,
在这种情况下,有的时候我一点都画不出来,或者一点曲子都谱不出来,
and then it's like there's too much on your mind. You can't focus on what you're supposed to do.
就像你脑袋里的东西太满了,你无法把注意力集中到应该做的事情上。
And sometimes, if you manage to use your time wisely and work on it, you'll get something out of it, but it doesn't come naturally.
有的时候,如果你想办法聪明地使用时间,想办法集中注意力,你可以做出一些东西,但是这不会是很自然地发生的。
What happens is, if something magical happens, if something natural happens to you, you're able to produce all this beautiful stuff instantly,
实际发生的是,如果真的有奇秒的事情发生 如果有些想法自然地出现在你的脑袋里,你会即刻非常自然地创造出这些美丽的东西。
and then that's what I consider "flow," because that's when everything clicks and you're able to do anything.
这是我所认为的“流动" 因为这个时候一切都很合拍,你可以做出任何事情。
You feel like you're on top of your game and you can do anything you want.
你觉得你一切都在掌握之中,此时你可以做任何你想要做的事情。
