Good morning.
Yesterday, I told myself and all of you that I’d practice drawing for 15 minutes… which I didn’t do.
Yes, maybe I could have quickly practiced drawing before writing this blog post, so that I’d have something to share, but I didn’t.
And yes, by forcing myself to draw something for 15 minutes before writing a blog post, I would have made progress.
But I didn’t.
And I guess I’m sorry for not keeping my promise. Not only to you, but to myself as well.
You see, drawing for 15 minutes sounds like a really simple thing to do. Yet, I’ve been unable to do it for such a long time… and I’ve been meaning to do it for such a long time too.
It’s as if I’m unable to do it, but I know that’s false. Nearly anyone could it. Even me.
It’s just that I don’t let myself do it. I put it off. I’ve set my expectations too high. And the longer you put something off, the harder it becomes too start.
So now I’ve got this near-impossible task to overcome.
Draw something.
I think that might be the problem. I haven’t specified what it is I’ll be drawing.
Break the task down into smaller parts, right? Figure out the steps that must be taken.
Well, let me tell you what my options are.
I could sit there trying to figure out what to draw (even though I’m aware of the fact that one should start with practicing drawing the fundamental shapes or something like that).
Or I could use one of the books I’ve purchased that’ll teach me how to draw.
Option C: I take the images in my head, and try to figure out how to start drawing those.
The problem with Option C is that the images in my mind are just too perfect… (to me) but I know that I’ll never be able to draw them as they are. And so, it’s all okay.
Unless…
I’m probably going off track. I’m not sure what I wanted to say.
I know that there are things I forgot to mention yesterday, but I don’t feel like writing about them now.
My head sorta hurts.
Anyways… thank you for reading.
And have a lovely day.
