JellyVampire on deviantARThttp://www.jellyvampire.deviantart.com/The story begins when a girl playing with a toy is given a piece of paper and a crayon.

An animal approaches a girl who is drawing a picture. A girl who asks "Who are you?"

"I am the embodiment of your artistic soul."

The girl accepts animals obediently and continues to draw.

The scene changes to a girl drawing next to her friend. She is a girl who knows one more thing about her joy in drawing.

When I was painting, an adult woman who looked like my mother asked me, "Do you want to be an artist?"

The woman said, "It's very difficult to become an artist. You need not only talent but also luck. So you should think about other paths."

That animal speaks to a troubled girl.

"She's right"

"It's true that it's hard to be an artist, but that doesn't mean you should stop trying."

And the girl said, "No, I shouldn't. It's impossible for me to be an artist. Millions of people have the same dream and my skills are far from successful." and answer.

A girl who asks herself, "What should I do to stand out from the crowd?"

"I'll tell you a secret"

And the girl who is taken out of the frame of the manga. "Draw here," prompts the animal.

And the girl who begins to draw freely.

But the grown girl hits the wall again and the animal asks, "What happened this time?"

"I don't know... but I feel like there's no point in drawing."

"I feel the limits of my technology"

The animal replies to such a girl, "I will show you something good."

"Ride on my back"

"Hold on tight"

Then the animals grew wings and flew off the ground.

"Don't look down"

"Can you see anything?"

A girl who answers, "I can see a world without limits." Her work concludes with the words "BLOOM LIKE AN ARTIST".
