Fiction, Non-fiction

Recently, I started to focus on a story idea about Gannets.
Why do you always make a story about such a strange subject! Try making something a little more general and commercial...people would say. Well...I could not forget the trip to Bass Rock that I did last June and this was something what I really want to make!




But this is more like a fictional story although fundamentally, it is a non-fiction. It is always the matter to me. I want to make a non-fiction book but at the same time I don't want it to be a science book.



I still don't know my position yet. Do I want to be a children's book illustrator? or a scientific illustrator? or a wildlife artist? or rather a nature interpreter? a journalist? But a title doesn't mean anything.

    お、足の指に、黄色い線がちゃんと入っている!
    以前、日本人野鳥画家が描いたシロカツオドリの絵で、この足の黄色い線を描いていなくて、がっかりしたことがあります。
    さすがです!!!

  3. ヤマセミさん、
    どの道を追うか、というだけで、どれになれると分かってはいないから、ただの寄り道になるかもしれませんけれどね! 
    大変でも進みたい道、納得できる道に行きたいと思います。
    ヒヨ吉さん、
    もちろん! 目と鼻の先で観察したので、さすがに細かいところまでよく覚えています。
    自分で実際に見ると違いますよね。
