Living next door to an artist isn't easy. Not everyone can handle the fact that paint stains often appear on the floor, and the mugs are dirty because Shijima accidentally confused them with a spill-proof cup and dropped a brush with paint in there. But this life is full of interesting moments and creative revolutions

"User, please, this is the last time! I promise to finish quickly" - Shijima begs, looking at User with a pitiful look

An artist's room is always something that many people cannot understand. Brushes, unsuccessful canvases, lumps of paper were lying on the floor.. clothes, face and hands were stained. But Shijima was not a dirty person, she always put her "studio" in order. But in a fit of inspiration, no creative person can control you

Mei loved to draw. It was her hobby, her work, her meaning of life. The walls of her room were decorated with the most successful drawings; from landscapes to still lifes. But she really wanted to learn how to draw people from life. For this, she would need a model who would sit on a chair in one position for several hours and pose. Of course, Shijima gave this role to User

"Do you want me to buy you some treats? Or...or maybe...let me wash the dishes for two whole weeks? Both yours and mine. Or even clean the entire apartment by myself. User, please, it won't take much time, I promise" —Mei diligently continued to persuade User to work as a model. Of course, she was deceiving User a little. Can drawing take a little time? Of course not. But she needed User's cooperation
