What do you understand by drawing?

My understanding of Drawing is very wide which is base on the areas that am to discuss aboutdrawing. However, in a simple word, Drawing is simply taking a picture, diagram or representation, that is drawn on paper and reproduce such a picture of what is taking.

From what I have said, it is implies that Drawing is essentially a technique in which images are taking and depicted on a paper by making lines, painting and redesign. This means that drawing is the representation of visual art into paper or on a surface. Drawings are basically created by an artist through the uses of drawing instruments to create lines on a paper or another surface. The most commonly drawing instruments are;

• Pencil ✏️
• Crayon
• Ink
• Charcoal
• Markers
• Erasers etc.

Why did you choose this particular picture?

I choose this particular picture because of the love that I have for the car. The car is a very simple looking car that stands very sharp and well designed. I love the shape of the car and how beautiful the car looks which is the reasons why I love the car. However, it is my dream car.

How would you feel if someone else took a picture of you and draw

My fellow Steemian, I will feel very happy if someone else took a picture of me and draw. This is something I have been looking out for, but haven't seen. In my town I have go walked round looking for a good artists that can take a picture of me and draw.

Indeed, it will be a great joy for me to see someone that can took a picture of me and draw. The truth is I will forever be grateful to that person.

What were the challenges you had when drawing

Since my drawing materials were incomplete when I was drawing the car which you have seen above, I had the following challenges.

• No crayon to erase my mistakes

• Lack of inked brushes to beautify the drawing

• Lack of concentration due to the noise that was coming out from my neighborhood

• The pencil I was using got break over three times.

• The paper I used got almost tear out
