I have all these ideas but I don't feel motivated enough to get started. Most of all I just want to draw what I feel like drawing. And I feel like we should stick with that right? It's better when you draw what you feel like drawing. So lately I have been drawing all these black and blue drawings and it just feels nice. For these drawings I haven't been using my usual watercolour. I have been using the Pentel brush pens and it's been fun. I love the strokes it makes. I think I have an idea of a zine for these black and blue drawings. I am going to be turning 3-0 soon. It feels weird to say when people ask my age because I don't really know what goes in their mind when I say that I am almost 30. Especially when it comes to them asking questions that's relating to my illustrations. It feels wrong to say I am 30. And I am drawing all these things. When I know it shouldn't. I just start at a late age, I guess. I didn't go to art school because I wasn't passionate about art. I like drawing but that's the point where it stops. I just like drawing. I was more into history and I like reading and I just like to be in that world. So I haven't been doing this all my life. I was always a bookish person and I just like being that way but always I didn't know what I want to be doing. I worked at a bookstore because that's what a person who likes to read should try I guess, well that's what I feel and so I did. And then the library because more books so why not. The library job was a bit too comfortable for my constantly active mind. I wanted to be doing more. And that was also the time when Oren and I became more than penpals and we were in a relationship and I started drawing and reading and crafting just so I can keep my mind of how far Oren is. I just needed to fill the empty space until Oren comes. So I drew a lot then. And it was fun. Drawing is fun. Oren always knew that I like drawing and buying stationeries so he gave me a subscription to ArtSnack where you get all these fun new drawing materials to try out every month. So I tried out drawing with these new materials and I just drew and drew until he came to be with me. And because of that I just felt the need to draw. Drawing does fills up my mind.
SO the point of this long post is(well I'm not really sure). Well I wanted to say that the zine could be something that I make to welcome in the big 30! I still don't feel like I am 30. I just don't feel any age right now. Mostly I am just glad that I am able to be doing what I enjoy even after everything that I have experience. So that's a great thing definitely.
Oh! Another exciting news is that I have recently just signed up for a class, Printmaking in NAFA. It's just a part time course, one weekday, every week. It's exciting. I want to be learning new things so I thought this course would be the right place to start.
Alright, till next time, take it easy.
