Looking for Insperation

     

      I see artists who draw just because they want attention. They have no passion for what they draw, and a drawing without passion is just a bunch of scribbles on a page. I have passion. I love to draw just for the sake of drawing, give me a writing utensil and paper of any kind you will find drawings on there you can count on it. Though lately I have been thinking, what else can I do besides draw my characters and fan art? That is when I decided. I want to INSPIRE people.

      In eight grade when I first started drawing we had a foreign exchange student from China, her name was Chloe. I'd proudly draw during class fantasizing about how amazing I would be in who knows how long and then I saw her drawings, she was amazing. I was so jealous. I felt like my drawings were no good and worthless, I felt like that for awhile, but as time passed I stopped looking at her as a rival of good art, but as an INSPIRATION. She was amazing, I was getting there, I decided then that I would get as good as her no matter what and it caused me to push harder and put more effort into my works. Three years later I did what I set out to do and I will always remember Chloe, and even though she didn't realize it, what an INSPIRATION she was to me.

       I want to also be like that I want to be an INSPIRATION to other people, in more ways than one. I want to set an example as a manga ka by only drawing clean things with no dirty jokes or bad language. I want people to look at my drawings and be INSPIRED as I was by Chloe. I want to set an example and share my joy in drawing so they can be INSPIRED if anything to just be happier.

I will also bluntly state that I could of not gotten this far without God. It hasn't just been drawing a lot that has made me a good artist, it has been my personal experiences and trials that have shaped who I am so I can INSPIRE others, and if at all possible, lead them to my Heavenly Father who made it all possible.
