"I can't!" - probably we have heard such a phrase from someone or have said it ourselves.
This is a very strong phrase, which is similar to nuclear energy yes I'm not kidding it can destroy and create.
This is the strongest phrase in the world and it is not stronger in the world.
Someone relies on this phrase as a powerful shield that will not let the enemy through with the aim not to do anything so that those who want you to do something get rid of you and someone on the contrary uttering this phrase he takes up the matter in order to learn to do what he could not do before he uttered this phrase.
Yes of course sometimes this phrase can sound like modesty that hides behind one's fears few people are deprived of this feeling but being afraid to pick up a pumpkin seed and try to grow it for the first time in your life is worth it to overcome your fears.
I was scared to climb a high rock for the first time even with a belay it was scary to reach a carbine suspended on a wedge at the top of the rock which was driven into the rock by a man who climbed there without belay.
I was scared to cook my first scrambled eggs I was scared to hammer the first nail or ride a new bike.
You can't imagine with what fear I picked up a pencil after a long break of almost forty years and began to draw.
I wanted to draw two gardeners who are resting after weeding pumpkin beds.
I was sure that I couldn't do it.
I still can't draw today.
Yes what I draw helps me learn and analyze my mistakes.
For example here is one of my first drawings after a long break.
Drawing people is very scary especially that they do not turn out the way I would like to see them.
I can't... that's what sounded in my head at that moment when the pencil lay on a white sheet of paper.
Then I realized that I don’t know how to use a sharpener and an eraser and I don’t know how to choose the right hardness of a graphite rod for this or that job.
I didn’t know how to correctly depict ellipses sleeves collars hats in perspective and I didn’t know how to feel the perspective itself namely the artist’s instinct tells how distant objects will look if he doesn’t draw from nature but fantasizes like I did.
Today thoughts visit me to correct what I didn’t know how then but I decided to leave this drawing as it is in order to remind me of my mistakes after all. and today I can not say that I can draw.
I don't know how to take pictures and write posts in English because I don't know English and my photography skills still leave much to be desired I didn't know how to write essays at school and didn't like to do it I can't do everything that I do today in the Hive and I like it. lol.
Zoom in on a photo for a closer view.
