Appreciation of Art - and Books.
I lent Shi Jin my Drawing Cutting Edge Comics today. It was kind of heart-wrenching because the book costs so much and I paid RM40 of it with the MPH vouchers I won during English Week. I hope he doesn't crumple it or anything... I still haven't learnt enough from it to feel that it's mine.
It's something I learnt from Sir at Cosmotots. No book's ever really yours until you've read it.
In this case though, I think I'm not going to be able to feel that that book's really mine until I've fully utilized it.
Showed Shi Jin some of SeanE's stuff which are on renderosity.com. He didn't seem very impressed with any of them except the one of Lara Croft. He said in Chinese, "now this is really cool!"
Afterward, he seemed inspired to want to draw better. I think he likes my book very much and I feel proud and happy that I bought it, and that it's mine to that extent at least.
A thought: I shouldn't dote over a book this much.
I don't really think you can actually learn how to draw from a book... but it does make good onhand reference. I hope that by next year end, at least, I will be able to draw as well as the person who did all those amazing illustrations.
I'm sort of blogging for the sake of blogging today. Don't really have anything to say.
Sad, but true. Toodles :)
