Pencil Drawing
Get creative and copy a pencil drawing today. We all need to give our minds a rest sometimes. This is not as easy as it sounds. Although, I may have the answer for you. Your mind can be put at rest and refreshed, not only by resting, but by using other parts of the mind.
It's not enough to switch off the lights that are on the main part of your mind, a new part must be lit. There's no point in saying you will lie down and think of nothing. Your mind keeps busy just the same. It is only when new cells are stimulated that you will find some relief. Choose your pastime wisely and just choose one. Concentrate upon that one.
Think about it, how does anyone learn how to tie shoe laces or a bow? Learn a job? Learn to write? ... Repetition! You are good at doing things that you continuously repeat. Drawing is a companion to be enjoyed. Drawing is a friend who makes no demands on you, it can excite you and it keeps pace even when you take small steps. Artists Are Happy People ...
Light, color and peace keep artists company to the end of the day. It is an enriching experience if you can find yourself a new and intense form of interest.
Black and white drawings have a certain appeal. Imagine how your friends would envy you when you show them your sketches? I don't pretend to explain how to draw, but only how to get enjoyment. Even after the age of forty! It would be a shame if you waste your life, wondering what to do, when all the time, there is a new world of art waiting for you. I didn't start pencil drawing until I was past the age of forty, I kept putting it off until I had the time. (Sigh), I guess we all have regrets. If you start this pastime later in your life, don't expect too much from yourself. You probably won't create a masterpiece. You won't have the advantage of years of training. Although, some artists have become famous later in their lives. You could be one of them!
The only thing you really need, is to be bold and adventurous. Don't let a piece of clean white paper deter you. Experiment. Break the spell of staring at that piece of blank paper. Always remember, you can erase it all away. Drawing is great fun. Try it. Pencil drawing completely absorbs the mind. I can't think of anything outside of the world of art that would compare with it. It is very important for everyone to have an interest. We all need to escape from the pressures of day to day living.
If you ever get the chance, try to watch a group of artists copying the same picture. It is amazing to see all the different interpretations each artist makes of that picture. You are unique and you can bring your own brand of creativity to the world. Don't forget, practice and repetition are very similar. If you practice, you will improve. By being repetitive you will learn it thoroughly. Start your pencil drawing portfolio today. Use the search box to find lots more cool drawings.
