My first attempt of drawing. I think that it´s REALLY important to say that my whole life I saw myself (as) a person that could not draw NOTHING and it isn´t one (of) those cases when (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 my case, I tried to draw several times. I remember once I tried to draw "piolin" Are you familiar with? It´s a simple cartoon, that isn´t too complicated.. well, I couldn´t draw it!! it was imposible for me!! I tried to draw Piolin for 1 hour and It was horrible! The drawing was desproportionate and It was just a cartoon!!. So I quit. It was obvius that one of my talents wasn´t drawing. That was (about}) 5 or 6 years ago. A year ago I started drawing again. I didn´t excpetct nothing (to come of it). I didn´t have anything to do and 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 by myself ) with that attempt at drawing, I think we understimate to do something and quit in the beginning when we don´t see inmediate improvement. Many people laugh at someone´s else failure but maybe it´s because they haven´t taken a risk at trying something new. Even now I see that drawing and I still can´t belive that I drew it.

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.
