RE: On the edge - Valuable lessons.
Dear @barski,
I just read your post and I must say, I am impressed with your passion and dedication towards beekeeping and drawing. Your story of learning about beekeeping and how it inspired you to create a beautiful illustration is truly inspiring. I admire how you put in so much effort to understand the relationship between bees and beekeepers and portrayed it in your drawing.
Your attention to detail and ability to analyze and correct mistakes are remarkable. Your determination to get it right, even if it meant going the extra mile by lying down like a beekeeper and using a mirror, truly showcases your commitment to your craft. Your drawing truly captures the essence of the relationship between bees and beekeepers, and I am sure it will inspire others to appreciate the beauty and complexity of this relationship.
I also found your personal story about trying to draw a portrait of yourself from memory and ending up with a portrait of your grandfather quite amusing. It just goes to show that sometimes our memories can play tricks on us, and the importance of looking at things from different angles and perspectives.
Overall, your post has been a delightful read and I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Keep up the good work!
Best regards, @fabiha
Thank you so much Dear @fabiha for your wonderful comment that deserves to be called a post and not a comment and for the kind words you said to me.
Although I am not yet a practicing beekeeper, the theory about bees taught me that respect breeds respect. If I respect those who will look at these drawings, I will try to put the maximum of my skills into these drawings, or at least try to correct the mistakes that I myself see (sometimes, I see mistakes too late).
But, unfortunately, I'm still not a skilled enough artist and I don't understand how to draw many things, in such situations I apologize in advance :)
Apparently I rarely look in the mirror, lol, but I'm even glad that I see my grandfather in the picture. In those days, he was very fond of dark glasses, which I do not like, in the glove compartment of his car I always found a few pairs of glasses with dark glasses.
Thanks again and have a great day @fabiha!
