    Drawing for Absolute Beginners – First Drawing

    I thought I’d give drawing a go. I have a lot to learn, but that might mean forgetting a good few things first. With some practice, drawing could become an enjoyable habit of mine.

    Our first assignment was to draw a picture of a toy car. Here’s what I drew:

    Drawing is a different way to tell stories. I’ve been turning to writing and photography to help me express myself and share my stories. Learning how to draw might give me a new perspective, help me focus differently when taking pictures, and give me insight into how to effectively write a description of a scene.

    I thought it might be fun to make a cartoon with a pencil as the main character. I’m not sure if it’d be an animation or a comic strip or something else. There’s potential in the idea, I just have to find it and then make something of it.

  • Night birds and bad poetry

    Sleep, that elusive beauty

    Tormenting me

    Tantalizing my eyelids

    With visions

    A background of blackness 

    You fall onto me

    Only at your will

    I’m without control

    Sleeping is a dream
