Wow, I don't think I've ever really used this thing. I think it's been gathering rust! Well, time to oil the hinges and perhaps start recording some thoughts.

I've never really thought I had the ability to draw. Stick figures are the majority of what I'm capable of. This frustrates me very muchly as one thing I do have is a very active imagination. I stretch that imagination daily, typically through my regular diet of fantasy and science fiction books. I take words on paper and translate it into whole worlds. But words are a pretty poor medium to tell people what they need to see, what they need to imagine.

So, I really want to learn how to draw. Maybe if I can put some of the things I see in my head down onto paper, so that others can have a chance to see what I see, maybe my brain won't hurt so much with it all.

My roommate recommended to me a book. Drawing on the Right Side f the Brain. I'm not entirely sure why I took his advice and picked this book up, especially considering I never see him drawing... But, upon reading the Introduction of this book and the beginnings of the first chapter, some things are becoming clear.

In an effort to keep a practice of some kind of journal, I'm going to try to make updates here on my thoughts of learning how to draw. Who knows, might be interesting?

Let's find out.
