Hope you will like my entry

WHAT DO YOU UNDERSTAND BY DRAWING?

DRAWING: To my understanding, Drawing can be define as the visual representation of an object or picture using pencil, pen, crayon ot charcoal on a white surface.

It can also be define as the act of using any instrument to visually represent an object or image using lines

TAKE A PICTURE OF SOMETHING YOU CAN DRAW

^{A CUP}

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THESE PARTICULAR PICTURE?

Honestly, nothing really, it just that it was the first thing i saw when i came across this contest, so i took a picture of it.

MAKE A DRAWING OF THE IMAGE ON THE PICTURE ABOVE

STEPS I USED IN DRAWING THE CUP

Step 1

• I sketch out the cup

Step 2

• I trace it out so that it will be visible
• Then i shade the body of the cup

Step 3

• After shading the body of the cup, i shade the inside of the cup

Step 4

• Then finally i shade the handle of the cup

HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF SOMEONE ELSE TOOK A PICTURE OF YOU AND DRAW?

Seriously, it depends on the person who will draw me.

If it's someone like me that is not really good in drawing, i won't even feel happy or anything cause i know it won't be perfect.

But if it's a professional that took my picture and want to draw, i will be happy cause i know it will be very realistic and nice, and i will frame and place it in my room.

WHAT WERE THE CHALLENGES YOU HAD WHEN DRAWING?

Below are the little challeges i encounter when i was drawing;

1. When sketching the cup, it took me time cause i didn't want to make mistake, because i didn't have eraser.

2. I had a little problem in blending the shading, cause i didn't have cotton board, so i had to improvise and use my finger

Those are the challenges i encounter.

DO YOU THINK YOU CAN CONTINUE WITH YOUR NEW FOUND TALENT

Honestly, I really love drawing, and in future i will really love to learn so that i will be very perfect at it.

I don't think i can continue with these new found talent, cause i have another thing doing for now, that's why i said in future i will learn it.

PROVIDED YOU HAD EVERYTHING AT YOUR DISPOSAL, WILL YOU TAKE DRAWING AS A PROFESSION?

To be sincere, No, i wouldn't take drawing as my profession, because here in my country Nigeria, people don't really vallue and appreciate drawing, and even if you draw their portrait they will price you as if it was a cup that you draw.

That's the reason i wont take it as a profession, but i would rather take it as a side Job.

HOW HAS THESE EXERCISE CONTRIBUTED TO YOUR PERSONAL GROWTH?

These exercise has contributed personally to my growth in one or two ways.

I always draw when ever i have free time or nothing doing, but these exercise has help me in learning how to draw a cup.
