"ATE! I was featured!" My sister came over and looked at my laptop screen. "This is what you live for?" she asked. "This is what I live for." Under the username "blank-cake", my masterpiece was displayed: Taliyah, a vaguely Middle Eastern teenage girl, summoning a massive flower sculpture from the ground. The website of League of Legends, an online strategy game, had just featured my work in the "Taliyah Community Creations." Hands shaking and grinning widely, I scrolled down the comments. I never felt discouraged from drawing; my intense desire to become a great artist overrode any obstacles. My curiosity for understanding the magic of transferring three-dimensional objects onto paper perpetually fueled my artistic expeditions. Outrageous

Thesis: Drawing matters and everyone should draw because it’s useful, it can benefit your life and anyone can do it.
As a learning artist, I always search for others who share the idea that art is more than what lies on a picture plane. One artist, in particular, has drawn my attention since I was young and he is a self-taught artist named Guy Dennings. While taking the hearts of thousands of others with his various media that range from pastel on newsprint to Conte crayon on paper; he has also captured my imagination with these emotional creations.
Throughout my early teen years, I was exposed to different mediums of art and discovered that I could express myself through more channels than just paper. Although Barry found comfort in her 11 x 17 newsprint and some paint, I was able to focus my energy on making music and taking photographs. Without my art teachers, I wouldn’t have the expressive outlet I do today. My childhood was not filled with unhappiness as Lynda Barry’s was, but from both backgrounds, we found a warmth from the exposure of art that the educational system gave to us.
As said by prophet Abu Bakr, “Cursed is the man who dies, but the evil done by him survives.” Evil is something humans can’t get away from (without a solution). It’s all around, but have you ever thought deeper about the real reason evil is constantly around? In the novel, Lord of the Flies author William Golding takes readers on an adventure taking place on an island in the 1950s. The boys crash onto an island creating a stable democracy; Jack being the fairleader keeping things in order using a conch shell.
When a friend asks you if you want to watch a movie, usually this suggestion doesn’t end in you wishing you could be born with a different color of hair. And by now, I thought I was pretty immune to the cringe worthy blonde jokes and stereotypes. Since I had basically grown up with these constant comparisons of the “ditsy blonde” or the famous doll barbie. Therefore when my good friend Megan suggested watching Legally Blonde as the movie for the night, I was confident that I had every lame joke, comparison, and stereotype covered thus I was unfazed by any of the future attacks. Let me tell you, I was wrong.
“The artist is the compass which, through the raging of the storm, points steadily to the north,” said by Romain Rolland. If people could give an accurate concept of art , then it was better to say that art gave the artist a firm goal and motivation. At a young age, I did not have a deep understanding of art. In my memory, drawing a few pictures of comic and having art classes in my elementary school in China that was the closest way to learn art. Although I liked painting, I did not choose it as my major in my high school and university without the support of my family. However, fortunately I had a good chance to live and study in New York with my family in the winter of 2014. If I could not learn painting that was a kind of regret in the first two decades of my life, then I might have the opportunity to make up for this regret in after years. I was very grateful to the art to bring my enthusiasm, so I could firmly choose the art design as a new professional in QCC and have more opportunities to learn about art.
I had this habit of tracing pictures into the air with my finger when I was bored. The tracing reminded me of a game I used to play with friends at sleepovers, the one where they would trace secrets on your back and you had to decipher what they were spelling out. I reached for my pen and began to trace, and as if I were drawing, I clicked the ballpoint out, and as soon as I moved my hand, a flowing black line mimicked all of my swerves, dodges, and turns.
Artists are often born with the innate ability to draw, but any adult can learn the skill. Becoming a master draftsman requires countless hours of hard work, immeasurable amounts of patience, an endless supply of perseverance, a burning passion for art, and dedication to self-expression. These traits are not easily accumulated but certainly attainable for anyone who is willing. Guidance from an instructor can facilitate the act of learning but, is not the only route artists have taken. They have accomplished the impossible, they have taught themselves the elements and principles of art through experimentation, abundant practice, and diligent effort.
When most individuals visualize a pencil, they envision a utensil that is used in the horrendous act of doing homework or any other school-related project. However, being a person that appreciates the beauty behind the creative mind, a pencil can have a stronger meaning than people may believe. In reality, a mustard-colored, lead-filled pencil is a vehicle of power that carries out the ideas or artistic designs of the holder from their mind onto the paper. For example, many artists throughout history have used a pencil as a basis for drawing out their inspiration and ideas before preparing their main pieces. Before an artist may start a painting, he may sketch out different ideas he envisions in his head, this technique has lead to the creation
This article originates from research conducted by the author, which culminated in his PhD thesis and is articulated as an argument for understanding the practice of drawing transcends paper . References are exposed as some of the works that conceptually the language of drawing is imposed flatly push the boundaries of traditional
The inspiration for my work comes as a direct result of the act of making. I approach a blank canvas with an open mind, allowing the work to emerge organically. I articulate the visceral through motion—tilting, turning, and spinning the canvas.
As a child, I placed my finger on the shutter release of my curiosity and heard two simultaneous clicks, one for sketching and the other for photography. They changed me; they caused the pitch-black display of my individuality to fade into a beautiful mélange of colors, each one representing a new creative spark. These sparks then swathed the waters of my consciousness like fire across paper, seamlessly integrating into my skills, passions, and eventually, my
When I first catch a glimpse of high school students drawing on tablets, I knew my passion for drawing could be my future career. Pursuing a career that involves coloring, and designing is the same as reliving my childhood
Hard work is required, no matter the subject. Everything starts out small at first, but later on the road it becomes something big and passionate. Ever since I could hold a pencil, I was always interested in drawing. It started as a small hobby like most things do, but later I started to get more invested as time passed. It soon came to the point where I saw myself in my future creating masterful pieces.
