My first attempt at drawing.
I think that it´s REALLY important to say that my whole life I saw myself as a person that could not draw ANYTHING. It isn't one of those cases where someone has a talent and everyone knows how good he or she is at it but the person just hasn't realized it yet.
That wasn't the case. I tried to draw several times. I remember when I tried to draw Piolin. Are you familiar with it? It is a simple cartoon that isn't too complicated.. well, I couldn't draw it! It was impossible for me! I tried to draw Piolin for 1 hour and It was horrible! The drawing was disproportionate and it was just a cartoon! So I quit. It was obvious that I wasn't an artist. That was about 5 or 6 years ago.
A year ago, I started drawing again. I didn't expect anything to come of it. I didn't have anything to do and I had free time so I thought "why don´t I try to draw a face?" It took about 2 weeks to finish and the finished result really impressed me. I´ll try to put the picture below.
I learned a lot about myself during that attempt at drawing. I think we underestimate our ability to do something and quit in the beginning when we don't see immediate improvement. Many people laugh at someone else's failure, but maybe it´s because they haven´t taken a risk at trying something new.
Even now, when I see that drawing, I still can't believe that I drew it.
