I was only I think 7 years old when I started to have an interest with art specifically in sketching. Art has been my most favourite subject before when I was in elementary to junior high school.
Actually art really helped me in building my confidence because growing up shy and had no confidence at all was one of my biggest problem during my childhood. Because of these characteristics of mine it is so difficult for me to make friends at school that's why I always end up having 1 or 2 friends in a class each school year.
Everytime someone compliments me about my works, it really melts my heart and it just made me feel to also appreciate my own work, to be proud of it because I worked hard for it, that I should believe and have confidence with myself because as long as that there is someone who really believes and support you, you should believe on yourself too.
I remember back then when I was only on 8th grade, I was so addicted to Taylor Swift to the point that I started to sketch her face using my colored pens while singing her song Red and Love Story. My most favorite part of her face to draw is her eyes and her lips because during these era she always had that red lips either in her music videos or concerts and it just made love her even more because of her red lips.
I would like to show my Taylor Swift art here but unfortunately, my works of her that year has gone now :( if I could still have them till now it'll help me so I can see my progress in drawing each year up until now that I am already a college student.
Also, besides that art helped me in boosting my confidence, it also help me in expressing my thoughts and feelings by the means of paper and pencil.
But guys, I am not a pro, I am still learning that's why you might see some imperfections and mistakes with my works especially with my works few years ago😅.
I can only show you guys here these 2 art of mine coz I still can't find where is my other sketches because I have a lot of memory cards that I used to save my other arts before.
But I'll definitely update this article once I found those other sketches of mine.
As you can see here, one of my most favorite part to draw is eyes coz eyes tells everything it tells the feelings and thoughts that cannot be written or spoken. I am so grateful how art improved my confidence that's why here I am now sharing these works of mine to whoever reads this article :)
If I had some extra time I will update this article once again every time I finish another sketch of mine.
