Reflection on My Drawing Journey


Drawing has been something that I have been working on since I was a very little child. I have always loved to draw people, and it was something that I could use to take my stress out on and expand upon on my ever-developing creativity. But ever since school became a bigger and bigger priority in my academic life, the time dedicated to my drawing became smaller and smaller, until all that it consisted of became simple doodles on the side of by notes I took in class. I was glad to take advantage of this project to rediscover my passion in art after setting it aside for several years. Although my portraits were freestyle and simple, I still found joy and improvement in drawing for those few minutes I spent on sketching across my notebook (instead of writing physics equation on there for a change.) This blog made me realize that even though I don't have as much time of the day as I used to, I should still take a short break every once in a while to find my inner peace and illustrate the thoughts on my mind into art. Although the project has come to an end, my love for doodling will stay with me. Perhaps I will start another blog to keep track of my artistic progress over the years in the future. :)

Grace Kelly


Portrait #9

      I'm really into vintage Hollywood themes. It is so elegant and timeless. When I was little, I used to dream about wearing a big hat and oversized sunglasses, strutting down the street as the paparazzi shout my name (I still think about it at times, haha.) I think this is my first cartoony entry in my blog. Drawing realistically is fun, but sometimes I like to just sketch something quick and effortless. I think the fashion of the 1920's is something that will never go away. The trend nowadays is cool, but the old times just have a higher sense of class and mysteriousness.
