this afternoon, while sketching at the starbucks
a dude started chatting me up
asking me questions about what i was doing
while i could appreciate his friendliness,
it was a bit distracting
and i didn't get near enough done
8/
any-who...at one point he said
you must really love to draw!
to which i reply
NEGATIVE (mr starbucks)
i, unfortunately, DO NOT love to draw
i am not a recreational sketcher
it does not relax me
it is not fun
i do it because it is a part of my job
in my first design class, i was surprised to find that i was pretty good at it
in graduate school i worked hard to hone my craft
i got better...or is should say
my "characters" greatly improved
this book by Tan Huaixiang is literally SOLID GOLD
one of my most prized possessions, for sure
doesn't make me love to sketch...but it sure helps make things less painfull
