【Must-See for Those Aiming for Geidai/Art Universities from the Provinces】 This is a must-buy for those who can't attend preparatory schools in Tokyo and rely solely on YouTube for entrance exam preparation. In the Tokyo University of the Arts (Geidai) entrance exam, no matter how talented you are, you won't be allowed to work with paints or three-dimensional art unless you pass the first-stage pencil drawing exam! Also, Hermes is a subject often featured in the Tokyo University of the Arts entrance exam. You'll learn how to properly use 4B to 2H pencils. This is a drawing at the level of 89-93 points on a major preparatory school mock exam.

It's a treasure trove of information that can only be obtained from the texture and powder of drawing paper and pencils, which you can't understand through digital media. Please pick it up and take a look. At the Tokyo University of the Arts entrance exam scoring site, they line up about 50 easels in rows, and the drawings are evaluated.
