giving in...

27 May 2010

It's been a while since I last gave in. When I was in college, I can still find time to let out my creative juices. Now,  I just can't simply find the drive to wield a pencil or paint brush long enough to make a decent work. Last weekend, I rummaged through my clutter and found my drawing kit. Blocking any thoughts of not continuing, I searched for my old 9" x 12" sketch pad, sat down and started to draw. It took a while before I got the hang of it, its hard getting your 'groove' back after being stagnant for about, well, let me see ....  I can't even remember the last time I gave in. So there I was, in a trance, not aware of anything but the paper in front of me. Its always like that when I draw, time just pass. The only time I realized how long its been is when my neck began to ache, and realized that I already skipped lunch.





After some time, I stood back, looked at my work, and smiled. Its only fitting the He would be the subject of my drawing. He had blessed me with this 'thing', and with this hands. Never waste your blessings. As for me, I think I would be doing this a little more often. Maybe turn it into a business - a 'sideline'. Hmmmmm.

It took me a few hours, but definitely, it was not a waste of time.

    Being an artist myself (one who hadn't sat down and drew in a very long time -- but I will soon enough), I couldn't agree more. What you did is definitely not a waste of time.

    At oo, nainggit naman daw ako sa tools mo, andami ^_^
