Drawing, Part II - Sad Skillz
Jun. 15th, 2007 09:04 pmDo you think I'm wondrous and amazing? Do you envy me completely? Have you ever wished there was something I COULDN'T do, so that you could laugh at my sad attempts?
...Aaah, some crickets in the audience this evening! Glad you could come out!
Well, if you agree with our insect friends here, then NOW IS YOUR CHANCE!
As a continuation to my last, incredibly wordy entry, I uploaded to my image host...something I DREW!
And if you're saying to yourself, "Well, that's odd. I didn't know that Bean drew," well, that's because... I don't. Every once in a long while though, I forget that fact. And I try to draw.
It generally goes rather badly.
Now, it's true that most people usually don't forget things like, "Oh, I can't draw." It's been burned into their brains from earliest childhood, and you would think it would also have been burned into mine. But I'm something like a character from a Bugs Bunny cartoon, routinely marching over the cliff edge out into space. Somehow, deep down, I privately believe that I really can draw if I want to. And that someday, when I'm least expecting it, I will put the pencil to the paper and discover that I can make representations which actually properly look like the things they're meant to be representing.
(Incidentally, I'm rather the same way about the idea that I can levitate objects with my mind. But we won't go into that.)
( Brief explanation about what these drawings are for )
But you don't actually care about any of that, right? Here's the actual drawings to snicker over (and seriously, go ahead and laugh - I don't mind, as I find these funny myself):
( First exercise in the book - Draw A Person From Imagination )
Okay, one more:
( Random disembodied ears! )
