Drawing has been one of my hobbies for over a decade now, with most of my family being somewhat proficient in it. Drawing is my favorite type of expression, and one of my favorite activities to do when I have free time. This activity was definitely fun for me, although there was a minor time constraint with having to draw 6 sketches in about an hour and thirty minutes.
As such, I don’t think that I would specifically try this activity again, but sitting down and sketching some objects was very therapeutic for me, and I think I will definitely do it again, sometime in the near future.
For most of my life, I’ve tried to do some sort of drawing, sometimes practicing, sometimes just expressing, and I would like to think that my drawings are okay at least. I do think I can get a lot better with more practice, and just learning different techniques to make things more aesthetically pleasing.
I am majoring in Computer Science, and I think that sketching can at the very least make a sort of plan when trying to develop a program. However, beyond that, nothing really comes to mind.
Drawing in my opinion is a language of its own, and I think the cliche saying of “a picture is worth a thousand words” hold true to drawings; its much easier to elicit emotions from an observer with drawing and images than is with words.
