I feel like I am losing my virtue of patience. AHH!! I want to take drawing classes sooo bad! Right now! I want to be SUPERB and fantastic ( ;) ) at drawing and draw every, single, darn, image I think of and have it ATUALLY look !!!exactly!!! what I see in my head.
Goal for 2011: To be able to draw pictures that you can’t tell the difference between that and a regular photo taken from a digital camera.
I know! I know, man… they say (<-- or at least I think they do) what’s the point of drawing stuff that looks that realistic when you can use a photocopier, or what ever, but the difference is, is that drawing it all out is a LOT more fun, more challenging, and I like drawing fantasy-like pictures (that you can’t take with a digital camera) that looks real and cool. Sadly, my drawing skills can’t get past the cartoon stage. It's frustrating. Practice makes perfect, though. I’m certainly not going to get any better if I don‘t do anything… which I do also have to admit, I haven’t actually been doing anything. It's been a while ago since I have done something. So, guess I am way past due to create another one.
Dancing… another thing I am seriously starting to get impatient about not being able to start lessons soon. Hip hop to be specific. I’ve never really done any of that stuff but when I see movies (My favorite movie of all time is Step Up. </3) with people pulling off wicked moves with their feet and arms and everything… my heart seriously melts with aw and envy + it starts to beat real fast. And my pupils dilate (o)__(o). So, that, too, I want to take lessons in. Just to see if I am into it as I think I am.
Okay, end of post. That was all I wanted to vent about. Next time I’ll try to make my post a little more entertaining. :D
Au revoir!

Oh Sierra, that was entertaining. ;) I must say though.... the part where you talked about having a picture in your mind and not being able to draw it and have it look exactly like... kinda made me laugh. ;) On the positive side, at least your mind works well enough to create epic pictures. Even if your hands don't agree... GOOD LUCK! :D I hope you start those hip hop lessons sooon. :D

Ha, my hands definitely don't agree with my mind. But I realized that part of the reason why is that I haven't done enough studying of actual real photos to guide me. It's the tiny details that my mind doesn't see and these details are the important parts of any picture. Like shadowing for an example. Shadowing is what makes a picture look real. Anyways!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :) <3

Oh Starry... stop growing up. Please. :D
ReplyDeleteSo I keep my fingers crossed that your goal for the 2011 will be realized :)) I also enjoy the drawing but I guess that I draw like a child so better if I take the photos :P
ReplyDeleteLessons of Hip-Hop Dancing? So ambitious, I love rap music, but dancing... - I enjoy look someone dancing.
Sorry for my English:D

I too like drawing but am not very good at it. I encourage you to keep drawing as much as you can. I would love to see your finish work someday. Maybe I'll post some of my drawings on my blog too. But first I'll have to finish them. I tend to get sidetracked when I'm working on a project like a drawing or writing. I always tell myself "I'll finish it later" but never do. I'll have to work on that... "Maybe later" =)
