Go Tokyo Your Experience
Have many people who love painting ever felt distressed due to slow progress in painting? Recently, there have been rumors in Japanese online communities that a mobile game illustrator can complete two works in a day, which has amazed many painting enthusiasts. It is rumored that the secret of this illustrator lies in not pressing the restore button, and once the pen is drawn, it can be completed in one go.
This technique immediately sparked a heated discussion among Japanese netizens. Although many people understand that “not pressing the restore button” can speed up progress, is it possible that the benefits outweigh the losses? Let’s take a look at what Japanese netizens think about this.
When I was drawing at the company, a colleague was able to complete two mobile game illustrations in a day. When I asked him how he did it, he replied, ‘Don’t press the restore button!’ This shocked me. According to him, it’s difficult to complete them once he looks back
Japanese style painting ASGXShare in a post that during his tenure at a gaming company, a colleague improved his submission speed by not pressing the restore button.
However, ASG (アサギ) believes that not everyone can learn this acceleration technique. Even though he is now an independent illustrator, he still frequently uses the restore button

ASG (アサギ) sparked a heated discussion among netizens after its publication. Many people are curious, is “not pressing the restore button” really beneficial without harm? Was rework required due to quality issues, resulting in increased workload?
Response from Japanese netizens:
Isn’t not pressing the restore button equivalent to drawing with a pen and paper
Think about it, in the era without digital painting, there were no restore keys. So would this mentality be the same as people at that time
I think digital painting makes people slow down as they draw, and I agree with that
Completing a work is simple… the key lies in the quality
If you don’t press the restore button, will it affect the quality of your work? If the speed increases but the quality decreases, isn’t it worth the loss
I agree that the theory of ‘not pressing the restore key’ is strong, but if it is drawn incorrectly, how can it be corrected? I really want to know how it strikes a balance between efficiency and correctness
Only works that can make people say ‘this is enough!’ are truly impressive… that’s the true profession
A video game illustrator mentioned:In work painting, one only needs to pursue speed, and if the boss requires it, one can make revisions. When painting works that one is interested in, one can slowly refine them. He believes that if too much effort is put into work painting, the frustration of making revisions will be even greater.
Do friends who make a living by drawing want to try this trick?
