Issues Upon Issues

Where to even start with the issues of drawing and writing? When I started to draw I questioned how to do many things. What pencil would be best, what color should I do this? Paint, colored pencil, crayon, pastel, what and I gonna do? I questioned how to shade and get the light to appeal into the drawing. Don’t even get me started on the watermarks in the eyes.

When I would try and draw an actual person like a face or portrait of a person I’d question how to get everything symmetrical even though nobody is perfectly symmetrical. Perfect symmetry in a person isn’t real, unless they’re a barbie doll.

When writing I would question what to write about what words would be used better and how I could make the story entertaining. As well as when doing essays in school, what can I do to get a good grade, what information can I add to make this sound more appealing? Questions wracked my brain like pool balls hit with the pool cues.

Why did I choose to draw this? Why did I pick this topic? What can I do to get a better grade? How can I make this look better? It was as if I was Alice in Wonderland, everything didn’t make sense even though it strangely did in a weird way.

Drawing can be a natural talent or a developed one. I like to think I developed it rather than it being natural, but as for writing everyone is a writer inside, it’s just a matter of how we put the words on the pages.
