drawing is like a big big connection and connector to reality... almost like tracing life itself and our movements.. and lines do connect those dots and those days into one thread that puts it together into a weave to our future selves.
i love that feel of ink on the paper... some pens and pencils are like lipstick.. some are like figure skating on the paper. i love the act of harvesting these little moments and gestures before they completely slip away. it's like catching as much from a passing wind.. and everything is on the paper... all my waiting time has turned to great opportunities to observe and look at things intently even just for a brief moment of total connectedness to an act of seeing and feeling and sketching which i can truly call my own. they're like nuggets of my day.... and it's totally addictive and immersive. i am so happy that you have expressed it in such a way that i feel i am not alone and what a gift it truly is. you're a great inspiration, as the entire sketchbook skool is.
the biggest thing i love about drawing and drawing more is the fearlessness and zen of committing that line into a fresh page. that act of boldness gets better at each attempt without an eraser. i feel a lot braver. i also somehow relate to and cultivate less lines that can equally speak the truth.
