Is amazing how someone create a picture with ink on a blank white piece of paper. from nothing you develope into a picture, using your own hand and a simple tool, pen/pencil. it starts from marking point, estimation, perpective, eye level, outline, details, shading, volume, dimension and how oher little elements of the surrounding enhances the whole picture, it makes you go wow. you wow at the person who is drawing, you wow at the speed of the person draws, you wow at the way the person take down every single detail, you wow and thinks that it is easy. every details on the facade, you capture it you see it, but somehow you just cant draw it out. you dont know why the whole row of shop houses look like nothing on earth. you dont know why the angles are all wrong. you thought you could do it, the way the person did it. but it was all wrong. sometimes, from the moment you start drawing, when it goes well, the whole picture goes damn well, but if you makes a few mistake at the first part, you just feel like tearing your paper up. i really fucking feel like tearing my fucking paper up. maybe my foliage drawing is too quaint, but at least i think it looks fucking nice. but now, the whole row of shophouses, just looks like nothing on earth. i cant do this, i cant capture and draw out details i see. i can't do it. from many things i captured and learnt i went blank. and now im back to square one.
