Today I want to show you one of my passions; drawing! Although I don't do it often, from time to time I have attacks where ideas come up and I have to write them on paper and then capture them in drawing so they don't escape me 😆.
And this idea that I'm going to show you came up in 2012, as a project on a page called You, Me and Charlie, it was a site to share ideas, art, creativity and get inspiration (currently the page does not exist). The project consisted of a creative challenge: Art, then and now. And that's where the ideas started to come. I remember I put on some music, locked myself in my room and it all started.
I took a piece of bond paper, crumpled it up and stuck it behind my door, and I began to capture everything that inspired me, that I liked, that I dreamed of. Between phrases, small drawings and colors everything took shape. I did most of it in one day, but then every time I had an idea I would go and leave it there. It was something that grew with time.
And yes, little by little the inspiration was going away and I was placing less and less things. I was busy at the university and in other aspects of my life, until one day nothing came up, I guess that the stage of that "art" had reached that point, anyway I loved what I had created and how it looked.
It is worth mentioning that this drawing is in my room in my mother's house (in Michelena, the town where I lived). And it currently looks like this:
In 2017, I moved to San Cristobal (city where I currently live), at that time I didn't feel inspired at all, I hadn't returned to drawing, I missed that part of me but I couldn't find how to encourage and inspire me. Basically I was only dedicated to work, all my friends had left the country and everything felt a bit desolate.
Some time later, I met @stephytdh and we had an almost immediate connection. One day I told him about that "creative challenge: Art, then and now", and he told me why I didn't do it again, with current tastes and new dreams, my answer was that I didn't feel inspired.
And the next day @stephytdh showed up at my work place (at that time we worked in the same place), with a sheet of bond paper and many markers, saying: "here, you know what it's for" and that was like a burst of ideas in me, I thought of so many things at the same time that I wrote them down so I wouldn't forget them. And now I show you my creation and how it was taking color little by little.
I still have ideas to capture. And that's how inspiration can come from your tastes, your dreams, your emotions, your favorite music and even your favorite person. And you, what inspires you?
