So after a great deal of thought I have decided to try to learn how to draw. The more I thought about it, the more it just seemed the right path to take. I have a strong feeling that finding time to draw will be easier for me than learning the guitar, as I can literally draw wherever I can bring pencils and paper. In addition I have always wished I was more artistic but never really put any effort into learning how; I had always just thought of it as something you are or are not born with. I am going to go get some good pencils and some decent paper, as well as begin searching the internet for any resources that will help me become a better artist. I am not sure what my first subject will be, however I am thinking I will start with something like a house or landscape. Who knows, if I get good enough, maybe I will even be able to get my parents to post my work on their refrigerator....JK.
I have found narrowing my choices down to two final contenders to be much more difficult than I had imagined. I have never given very much serious thought about the things I do or learn in my leisure time. Generally speaking as I pass through life, if something looks interesting I pursue it, if not, I don't; I usually do not plan this sort of thing. That being said, I have finally narrowed my choices down to two final options:
1. Learn to Draw As a child I used to be a pretty prolific dinosaur artist and would take every opportunity to adorn any piece of paper or other flat surface with as many ferocious creatures as I was able. I was never a very good artist, but I did enjoy it a great deal. When I think of myself now, artistic is not one of the adjectives I would use to describe myself, however I think I would like that to change. If I am going to start drawing again I might as well do it right. Some questions before I start:
2. Learn to Play the Guitar: Continuing with the theme of nurturing my more artistic side, I have also seriously considered taking up the guitar. I have not played an instrument since I played the coronet in band in the 7th grade, so I am starting from scratch. Some questions before I start:
