Hello steemians, how are you doing? Yippie!! I just felt this is worth sharing. On this fateful day I was bored at home. The school I graduated from are yet to mobilize my set for youth service because of a lingering strike that has been on for a period of time now.
So I decided to pay my cousins (Joshua and Caleb) a visit. I was welcomed happily, probably because they have missed me especially my playful and hilarious character, we gist and talked about their respective studies, Joshua is a SS3 student while Caleb is a SS1 student.
Later, in the evening Caleb brought out his drawing books and poster colors, he wanted to draw, but he was not that good at drawing.

After trying his best with the color box, he asked me to try it out, that I should draw, so I told him maybe later, but he insisted and Joshua also was in support that I draw. Lol! I was not willing to draw, but since I was less busy and this kids looks up to me as one big super model that is capable of doing everything, lol! If you have siblings you will understand what I mean.
I took up the brush and started playing around with it, then I ended up drawing an imaginary lady that exists only in my head with just brush not even pencil ooo, hehehe!! It was not a perfect piece but at least it impressed my cousins and they praised me through out the day, that sound rewarding after all.
My first painting, i drew it and snapped it last week
On the following day, a tom and jerry DVD disc was on the table, and Caleb picked it up and started drawing Tom and Jerry, ahahahahahaha!!! what he came up with was a scary and funny creature far from Tom am Jerry, Joshua also tried but came up with a wild cat I guess, lol.
This was what caleb painted😂
And this is what Joshua sketched
They wanted me to draw for them again, and it was dawn on me that being a big brother is not an easy task at all, so this time I took up a pencil and not just the color brush. I tried drawing Jerry due to fact that its small and I thought it will be easier too, I did all I have to do ignorantly without any guidance from a pro, and I actually impressed both myself and also my cousins, I couldn’t believe my eyes. And that became the 2nd drawing of the year.
Jerry sketched and painted by me
Now, by the time I drew this second pieces of the year am beginning to get motivated, so I then decided to draw the third one. Smile!! Guess what I drew? It was Tom!! I drew Tom in an action mode, trying to spice a fish it appears it is roasting on a pot of fire. After I was through with the drawing and painting, i was surprised and even doubted if I was the one that drew it, lol!
Tom sketched and painted by me
Merely seeing this piece you might argue with me that I have been drawing and painting for a long time, smile!! No oooo, Jerry the mouse was my first meaningful art sketch with a pencil in my entire lIfe, followed by Tom the cat, you might be asking what about the imaginary lady, well please tell me is that looking meaningful? If you feel it is meaningful that means I can consider as my first painting ever because I use only colors and a brush, no pencil at all.
I think idleness is paying of after all, hmmmmm. If I continue on this path do you think I will make a great self created artist? I feel like drawing more, let me see your comments first before i draw more
That is me in action sketching Tom
Yippie!! My idleness is turning me to an artist already, don’t stay idle too, fix yourself doing something even if it doesn’t make sense to you at all initially it might later make a whole lot of sense.
Thanks for reading this, let comments roll in and don’t forget to upvote and resteem this post!! Catch y’al later!!!
Cool...This isnt baad
I wish i could be this artistic
Hmmmm, i neva knew i could do this either, untill i tried, and my trial was encouraged by my idleness and also my siblings. Thanks for the comment @olajidekehinde
Tom and jerry used to be my favorite cartoon...wait it still is..
Same with me @vickybrown, it has always been my best cartoon, the duo made my childhood a very memorable one, although now i don't have time for cartoons again, i have always been busy.
