art in my life

salam, readers.

I started drawing since I was a little girl. doodling and sketching cartoons. but most likely, those drawings looked insanely bad and Im not shocked about that. When I found some of my old drawings or doodles, Id just laugh. i like drawing cartoons in comic form back then; but with no 'bubbles'-whatever-you-call-those-stuff. When I was a little girl, drawing the fairies from Winx Club was the best thing ever.

I would draw a whole story with the dialogues in my head. I remember talking to myself while drawing. Using different voices for different characters. Its something I enjoy doing. As I grow up, the interest began to fade. Instead, drawing buildings and nature is one of my fave things to draw. I sit in class, stare outside and let the feeling of satisfaction inside me flow; through drawing.

Im not the best when it comes to drawing however. When I try to draw some celebrity, it will 100% look like someone else. I once drew Kai ofe Exo-K and it looked like Greyson Chance. I tried drawing Demi Lovato and she looked like some Korean actress. I did my best drawing Sandeul of B1A4 and it ended up looking like Lee Joon from MBlaq. Maybe Im not built for portraits..

But, it never stop me from drawing. There's this pleasant feeling when I hold a pencil and begin drawing. Since Im more of a daydreamer, I tend to sit alone in class and just stare outside; looking at the beautiful scene. trees, buildings and the great blue sky with fluffy white clouds. It's such a wonderful view. And naturally, I would start sketching them. I could say that drawing is one of my fav ways to escape reality.

and today,


long story short


i met someone who has this passion of drawing and he asked me "what kind of art are you? (what do you understand about art)" and to be honest, I don't know. I mean, I love drawing but I never have a definite reason to why am I drawing. Passion? Talent? Interest? Why do I draw? What do I understand about art? if I say I draw because I can express my feelings that would be a lie. I express my feelings best through writing.

i dont know; im not sure
and frankly, i never thought of it. and currently that question is fresh in my mind. why do i draw?


"well you'll find it eventually.."
