The will of wanting to

Alright, this blog post has nothing to do with a rhino. If you like rhinos and you were hoping for that- I am sorry. But while finishing this drawing I had some really worth knowing and hopefully helpful thoughts, in response of reading the book 'It's not about how good you are, it's about how good you want to be'.

I draw a lot. Which isn't a strange fact or something. Better said, I think that's the kind of thing a person automatically things when they think of me. Also, things like "you are really talented!" or "Oh why can't I draw like you?" are things I hear quite a lot.

The thing I reply every time to the last question is, "because I draw more than I get sleep". And it's as simple as that. I couldn't be more into self-improvement if I'd try. Even though it drives me crazy now and then, I also think it is one of the best things about me. I constantly feel the need to be better than I was before. Improving. Improving. Improving.

 

And this is just a example. The first drawing is made in March 2014. The other one is just from a few days ago. A difference of a year. I remember being so proud of the first one, while when I look at now I don't get how I could ever like it. Which again- I think is a good thing.

I've got a thousand (well, not that much but you get what I mean) of examples like this. Now I feel like doing a whole blogpost about drawings I made in 2010, but it's actually too embarrassing haha.

What I am trying to say is that you can possibly do anything you want. That "but I can't do it" or "I don't have talent" is no excuse at all and that if you really want something, you should just go for it.
My artwork is far from perfect but the improvement I make every year is worth it to keep going. It's the will of wanting to.

I just wanted to share this.

Love,
Kim.
