Drawing.
Actually, I'm not really sure how to expose this topic, but I would like to increase the importance of this activity.
These days it's common that when a child starts to draw, a lot of people think it's just for playing, the same happens when you are in school and instead of taking atention during the class, you draw. This, I think, it's because there is a cultural convention that relate drawing to activities more related to the arts, and unfortunately, the world of arts has been taking has something uselees, because the contemplative characteristic of this and the fact that a lot of artist are bohemians to. Besides, right now the most important thing for the society is to consume, so you need to earn a lot of money, and if you don't do that, you are a failure. What common people don't realised is the fact that a lot of other careers need to draw, it's a tool that permits the understanding of diferent projects, it's the way, a step to make something for real, like a building or a robotic piece. I'm not trying to say that drawing will make you a millionare, I just want to appeal the importance of this, to tell a lady that it's not bad for his son to draw or to motivate teachers to make the students draw (but NOT to force them to do it).
I like to draw, and I love the fact that it's a way to make things for real, but a lot of people think that drawings are just dreams or imaginary worlds and can't see the possibility of construction. Maybe I'm just resentful because in school they told me drawing was useless, something fun that brings you joy and fun it's not useless...
Your drawings are so beautiful, I really envy you. I like drawing, but i'm not really good at it, I hope to get better when day, or just be comfortable with my actual ugly drawings. People look down to the ones that like to draw or paint, they are just stupid, this is much better than their filthy money.
