You don't need anyone to tell you (the cyber bird edition)

what you are. If you love drawing...draw! Stop waiting on a class or a teacher to tell you you're good enough. IN SPITE of their saying you can't...just do it. This is my doodle because not every freaking drawing needs to be technically proficient. In fact, it's often quite boring if it is. Pe@nuts (the comic strip) wasn't the most technically proficient drawing; neither was the F@r Side or C@lvin and Hobbes, and I LOVED that stuff to death growing up. The stories visually were better than any of the overly stiff academic stuff I see coming out these days, anyways. The stuff is timeless.
I saw the work of this famous, Emmy winning designer when I visited my home country. He's a certified genius. The guy was drawing, designing, painting with everything from brown paper bags to wire to clay to highlighters. And it was interesting!
This drawing made me smile (yes I'm narcissistic go ahead say it). It's a nerd joke; dual c0re, etc LOL. Sorry, I'm corny like that :)
It's an emotion that people connect to; we connect to stories, characters, the human condition; let's not forget that the rules are just there to help the tools serve us better, NOT to make the tools control what we do.
