このソニックのビーチアート凄いですね。どうやって描くんでしょうね？あまりにもキッチリと描けているので、もしかしてCGなのかもと思ってしまいますね。 https://t.co/tuVo41zxZt pic.twitter.com/TUxTuQnh36

🔵 Naka-san is impressed by the beach art of Sonic! He wonders how they create it, saying its perfectness almost makes him think it's a CG. https://t.co/lx1ektAqar

このソニックのビーチアート凄いですね。この写真見ているとちゃんと描いているのかもと思いますが、描いている過程のタイムラプス映像とか見たいですね。実際見てみたいですね。 pic.twitter.com/PINSCsuQgf

"This Sonic beach art is amazing. From the pictures it seems like the art is actually being drawn on real ground, but I'd like to watch a timelapse video of the process. And have a look at it with my own eyes."
- Yuji Naka


The artist then noticed Naka-san's mention and they had a little conversation!

Thank you ! Sorry I don't have timelapse of the process for this one ! It's difficult to do all alone also taking time for the drawing and the camera.

Are you doing it alone? It is amazing‼︎

— Yuji Naka / 中　裕司 (@nakayuji) June 26, 2019

Yes I do it all alone. Sometimes friends help me for fun but for this one I was alone and running after the tide. That's why I can't do timelapse or additionnal videos all the time.
