Drawing Life #12 : Where does strength come from?
There are still many taboos around talking about disability and the impact it has on those that have to live with it. In Vietnam, the situation is worse as there is little help for those that are differently abled (as they say in India).
I met this young man when I was volunteering for an NGO in Vietnam. His strength of character, his positive attitude and desire to succeed shone through. We talked about his life and how he wanted to be independent, support himself and create a good life.
Inspiration can come from many places and after my talk with him, I wanted to draw his portrait to remind me of all those endearing qualities. His smile showed his strength and I wanted to remember him in this way; and I wanted him to see himself the way I do.
Who knows, one day I may discover the source of this unlimited willpower he had managed to tap into. There are lessons for us to learn from every person that crosses our path.

I think you just have to what you can instead of waiting for the inspiration or strength to do it.
I love to see the beauty of life and people, that inspires me for doing art

These portraits are interesting. How big is it? I can imagine they can get very intense when you draw/paint them on larger canvases like 120 cm or so.
The size is 40X60 cm, I usually draw scribble portraits at this size. I've never tried the larger size before, maybe one day. I am honoured that you like and reblog this sketch. Thank you very much @gric
It looks like you have excellent empathic skills and that is what gives strength to your art. Keep up the good work!
Thank you @fotostef ! I'll try my best!!
Awesome as usual.
Thank you @chadizms
