I’m a writer, but I’d like to be a comic book artist. I’ve been trying to learn how to draw on and off for years. At first, I felt like I didn’t have the talent for it, but looking back at what I’ve done in previous years, I think my problem is more about motivation. I just don’t find the same fulfillment in drawing as I do in writing. I’d like to find a way to break through this imaginary barrier…
I’ve always enjoyed the process. But it wasn’t really natural in my case. The only reason why I got to the point I am at today is because of envy in a way. Everytime I would see a beautiful painting or picture someone made, I would want to elicit that same feeling through my own art. So, that’s what I would try to do. And, when a picture turns out well, I’m happy.
So, in a way, I forced myself to enjoy the process.
