The passion that comes with drawing makes it easy. That is because I am taking my creativity and imagination and trying to make it come to life. Undoubtedly that is the greatest thing that can come out. That is the very goal of every artist I believe: To have their creations and dreams come to life. In that its like playing God. (Just a metaphor) Its the drive that artist have when starting out, including me. That feeling where whatever you put onto paper made you happy because you made it.
The hard part in drawing is acquiring the very skill to make your pieces. In the beginning you are happily just creating whatever you wanted regardless of skill. Then you decide you want to create more. The hard part for me was finding out in order to create what I really wanted was I had to work harder. I would find out I was not the artist I thought I was and you find out that there is a myriad of things to learn when it comes to drawing. However, unlike any other skill I had gone through, I found this skill to be absolutely needed in my life.That is because I believe this is the most important skill I will ever need; not quite anything else I have ever wanted before but because it had carried a drive and passion with it which I could barely explain.
I'll be here to admit, the hard part of drawing is something I really do not enjoy. The hard part of drawing is studying. There is so much to study and it is not that I do not care for it, but because I have not been much the studious type. When you draw you want the passion that comes with letting your creativity flow, but in studying you are grinding your craft. The sad story is this grinding is gravely needed because I know it is the grinding that will ultimately let me draw what I want. Because without the hard part, I will not enjoy the easy part.
