Drawing is also a Language

Here’s my six drawings!

Was it fun? Was it frustrating? Do you like to draw? Will you ever try again?

I did experience satisfaction with my tree drawings, so that part was fun. However is was really frustrating drawings the drinks and the people. I think this is because the trees had more of a loose structure while a cup or a person obtain fixed attributes. I do like to draw, but I wouldn’t choose to do it on my free time. I could potentially try this again. However, not in the near future.

Do you think if you practiced for 100 hours, or 1,000, that you would get a lot better?

Yes, if I were to practice upon hundred’s and upon thousand’s of hours, I would become very good at drawing. My hand eye coordination would increase exponentially.

What is your major? Can you think of any ways that simple sketching of some kind could be useful in your major?

My major is aerospace engineering. Yes, I do believe sketching out things would help plenty. For instance, drawing out physics problems is really beneficial to see what your’re trying to calculate.

Is Drawing a Language? Can drawings say things that are hard to say with words?

Drawing is indeed a language. It’s obviously not with words, but more so with feeling. A drawing of a happy child living in the favelas of Brazil, for instance, could say a lot without writing a single word. I understand that this a cliche, but there is a reason why the phrase, ” A picture is worth a thousand words,” exists. Sometimes pictures/drawings can more effectively transcend ideas than words.
