Tanpakushitsu (たんぱく質) Biography

In 2011, I first learned of the word 'drawing' through (the website) pixiv.

Through Approaches to Painting (the 2020 Dec special issue of Bijutsu Techo), I found out that Tanpakushitsu was an artist known for their drawings of girls with large, overlapping eyes on notebooks and drawing paper.

Drawing lines became a crucial part of my teens and twenties because it was it helped me maintain peace of mind. Now, I can draw with reasonable distance.
