it all started in curiosity and the rest is what i am now. ;')
just when did i start to draw? way back my toddler days i was always been frustrated with myself because every time i attempt to make a house i just end up scratching my paper. when i start to draw the roof i don't know what the next step is and so I'll just scribble aimlessly in my paper. i waste a pad of paper a day just by scribbling. at first, knowing nothing about art has no big deal to me. yet i like holding my pencil and doodling in my paper and that's it. when i graduated in kinder and was eventually transferred in a new school. i had to deal with a lot of kids and i mean bigger kids. so i shortly forgot drawing and focused on my studies.
i still remember that one event way back my grade 2 days that i believe entirely changed my life. (*char)
it was one morning just before my English class begins when a certain classmate of mine bragged his art portfolio to me. it was filled with Pokemon and some Disney characters like Winnie the pooh. i was awed with his drawing that i attempted to draw a pooh head and stupidly compared my work with his. he and my classmates laughed at me and my drawing that in the evening i draw and draw and draw. I PROMISED MYSELF TO BE BETTER THAN HIM! at first it was just my ambition to draw better than him and so i practiced a lot. i could still remember that the first ever piece i proudly drew was a dogwood flower i saw in our encyclopedia. from then on i practiced drawing every flower and bird in the encyclopedia.
i draw almost every where, in the wall, in my notebooks, pads of paper, in every blank space that i can draw with. i was not contended with myself, every day i aim to be better and better that it became an addiction. i can't seem to stop. it's like a state of trance, i always feel best when i draw. i feel alone with my world and it feels so great. specially when people get to recognize or love your work.
i compared the transition and differences of my works and styles as years passed. and i believed that i could still be better. i want to explore new horizons and know more about art. i don't want to end myself in drawing. there are still a lot of rooms for improvements and genres and hitherto art forms that are yet to be discovered
and that's what i love.
and again it all starts in curiosity....
