Hello Steemians,
This is my first post and I am very grateful to be here and be a part of an ever growing community based on a technological breakthrough that can and will change the future of digital realms.
In this post, I would like to share my journey of how I became an exceptional artist in drawing and illustrations, in terms of my own standard.
Throughout my younger days, my family and friends kept telling me that I had a talent for art because they were amazed by my abilities to transfer any visual representation of my imagination onto the traditional realms of paper and canvas.
When this happens to you, your head becomes bigger than it should be that you start floating into air, and you begin to live a groundless life. Your confidence goes up and you start feeling good.
From then on, I was beginning to think like I did possessed a talent for the arts after my family and friends continually exchanged and spread my skills to everyone.
However, there is a hidden term for this development that I did not know about before and this was it:
I was TRYING to get better at my craft most of the time UNCONSCIOUSLY. I did not realized it until now that all those free times I had then, all those time spent drawing on my sketchbook WAS MAKING ME IMPROVE IN MY ARTWORK LIKE A MADMAN.
It only occurred to me that these drawing habits that I formed (takes about 21 days to form a habit) was so ingrained in me that it was so hard to break! These habits had me chained so well that whenever and wherever I go, I’d make sure that I was holding a pencil and blank paper in front of me.
Think about that for a minute. Think about what you can do with your life that will change YOU for the better!
Come to think about it now, when I look back to my early years of my artist journey and my productions since then, all I have to say is: I was horrible at it at the very beginning. Early years were spent on drawing ugly and nonsense pictures that I thought were spectacular at the time but kept at it.
There were two things that kept me going: curiosity and reward.
Curiosity moved me to produce works which I thought that I were not of capable of doing and kept at it until I felt “beautiful” with my works. And this was the time that I would put the pencil, pen or paintbrush down and look away if and only if I would feel that “BEAUTIFUL”.
“Beautiful” is the reward.
Notice that I said beautiful, not satisfaction because “beautiful” comes truly from within regardless from any circumstances and conditions what life may throw at you. “Beautiful” means that you acknowledge and appreciate every single detail and everything about you.
“BEAUTIFUL” is not a term that is used exclusively for “girly” or anything in that matter; but it is a universal word that both applies not only to feminine but also to masculine.
To reach this state, you have to wrestle with an exhaustion that is translated to overwork beyond threshold of just a little outside within your capabilities. And you do this each and everyday because this is a COMMITMENT; you do this out of love and hate relationship.
Without this commitment, you would have no self discipline and this discipline requires you to journey through the joys, the stagnation in series of plateaus, and even to the point of tears, sweat and blood in executing what you believe will be good work.
You can become great in anything and how great you want is base on what you believe you are worth. And that potential is unlimited. And that all depends in you.
That's it for now, my friends.
Stay tuned and stay well!
