Illustrations for a short text about the process of learning to draw.
The first step is always the hardest part.
Taking the first step often means overcoming barriers.
How strong those barriers are depends on your inner resources.
Patience, persistence, practice, knowledge and last but not least curiosity and enthusiasm are some of the elements that guide you on your creative journey.
Drawing enforces observing.
Learning to see means to discover the world, to broaden your own perspective.
Apart from learning the skill this is the main objective.
The physical process of observing and drawing,
the continuous absorption of impressions develops and shapes the inner repertoire.
By closely observing and depicting, the drawer experiences
and - in the truest sense of the word - incorporates not only the visible world
but the unseen as well.
Discovering what lies beneath leads to understanding functionalities and deeper correlations.
Impressions lead to expressions – a continuous process.
