描かずに描く
KAKAZUNI KAKU. In English, "Draw without Drawing"
Visualizing the essentials is not always about how precise you can draw. It’s about how we set the right question, how we see the thing from the right angle, how we craft to tell the story.
My mission is to develop a new way of storytelling as well as deliver the message through the visualization process.
