Good morning everyone,
Today I want to share with us my recent drawing of Van Gogh. He is one of the most famous artist of all time who rose to fame after his death. I read about him and in a way kind of see myself in him. He embodies great talents and produced over 2000 artworks in his lifetime yet was unsuccessful. He felt like a failure and was often depressed. This eventually drove him to suicide. It’s so sad that his worth was only seen after his death. His work gained popular recognition and he was seen as a genius even though he was considered a madman in his life time. How I wish he could live and see the success of his works. I just use him to console myself when I’m drained in my own emotions and depression which have been taking the better part of me lately. The things that go on in my head can’t be said outside and it can’t be pushed out. But I take each day as it comes and I’m learning to survive.
My drawing was made on pelican paper using blue biro.
