Talents are very essential qualities to have as an individual. They not only define what you can do but they also define yourself. They give a person the abilities to learn something new and challenge himself/herself. Someday, they might become useful to have. One of the talents that follow those expectations is drawing. This talent can be obtained through lots of practice. Similar to other talents, drawing also began as a hobby.
However, drawing is not just a skill and a hobby. It's a real talent once you combine and mix three important factors: imagination, storytelling, and creativity. When I was growing up, I was told that drawing is not a money-earning skill and that I should learn a more practical skill. But they were wrong.
Our most beloved and popular films, entertainment and pop culture only exist because of drawing — Disney, Studio Ghibli, even superheroes films, anime, manga, and popular video games. The fundamentals of these forms of entertainment come from drawing, which gives the structures, outlines, and concepts into making these into reality for their audiences. Even though animated films are mostly now 3D, they still need to draw out on paper like for 2D films before they make the 3D film.
In addition, drawing also expresses new ideas for fashion. Before clothing material is chosen and displayed, the fashion designer has to draw it out in order to picture the fashion style. That's how some of the most special and distinct fashion styles started out.
Another essential aspect of life that began with drawing is architecture. Before making the building, one has to draw out the building on a blueprint before the construction workers have to build it. The same thing goes for houses. Lots of things, especially from jobs and occupations that make money, have started with a drawing.
Other than defining one's self and starting out something, drawing creates a connection between your audience and your world of imagination. From then on, the artist's world is shared among people which, in effect, brings many colors and joy to many lives of people. Therefore, I am always fascinated and passionate about how drawing can be shown through many styles, especially how some can become the most distinguishable and adored by the audiences.
It is great to see many interesting, original, and extraordinary artwork from artists around the world. You can learn so many art techniques as inspiration from their artworks and artists themselves. Art can be found anywhere, especially in different places like the internet, museums, cities and theme parks, etc. It is also admirable of people who can actually draw from memory, imagination, and sight. Not everyone can do it, but it's still awesome to know that some people can.
Although drawing is not easy, it is still amazing that drawing can be done with only through just the mind, eyes, and hands. Continue to love your talent for drawing if you have it.
