Thursday Training

P.s. These drawings are almost just the size of a coin.

October 30, 2014

Today I went to a school newspaper member training. It wasn't new to me since I've been to those before and it's not that exciting. Mostly of what they teach there are what we tackle during journalism class plus I went to school on a holiday.

I'm not the kind of person who shows my artworks a lot, not even those I personally think are great. I seldom draw for others or to present it to them because I have a fear of criticism, good or bad. It's strange, I know. I feel like when I do, they'll judge, pointing out every small detail in that work. But something was different on this day.

Waiting for the lecturer was very tiring. Two hours of waiting in a hall full with people wasn't a nice experience. I sat down alone because there was only person I knew in that area - my former teacher and a fellow schoolmate of mine. Talking to my old educator is awkward, and my friend was in feature writing so we were separated. To deal with boredom, I began draw with my sign pens. A quick doodle would help me ease my stress, not knowing people watching me as I did. It was funny. They said the loveliest compliments then even took a picture of my sketch. Honestly, I was just amazed because I never got this attention before except when I won a division contest.

The orientation commenced and at the end, we were tasked to finish an editorial cartoon. Children younger than my age started to watch me as I draw. They told me that I was a real artist for I was so fast at it. I even heard someone said that I could be a fashion designer or a real artist. I got so inspired but I felt like I still failed at my job on drawing a cartoon.

But hey, I am just so happy they liked it. That means I don't just love it, but I am good at it. I usually see most of my artworks as something not great, like the one I drew there so I don't know why they liked it.

Love youuuu. Thanks for reading!!!
