Drawing Yourself

Last night I remembered something. In High School, my art teacher wanted us to draw ourselves. I've never been good at drawing. I'm MUCH more a writer than a drawer. Anyway, it was kinda funny since we were encouraged to bring a mirror or a photo of ourselves to class. I think I did an okay job on drawing my own face, though it felt kinda narcissistic to look at myself in the mirror and then trying to emulate my own face HA HA HA HA HA...

The next lesson was to draw a national hero by looking at their photographs in books. I did a PRETTY good job in drawing one hero, BUUUTTTT alas...when I scrubbed out some parts of his face since I wanted to fix the proportion, his face became distorted. I didn't know anymore what went wrong (as I said I'm not good at drawing). I guess the first time I drew him, I must've done something right since it looked more like him...but after I altered some parts of his face, he didn't look like the guy in the picture anymore. *sob sob*

How about you? Have you ever tried drawing yourself? Has anyone ever asked you to do that?

Speaking of our own face...what do you see when you look at your own reflection? Do you see someone you hate? Someone you love? Do you see someone you like? Do you see another person (gee, this is a scary question)?

Well, why don't we all take time to look at our own reflection and then give ourselves a BIG WARM HUG, because if we don't start loving ourselves the way we are, we'll push away everybody who comes near to love us...

So let's make today a LOVING DAY for each and every one of us!!! After all, we do need some loving and sometimes we're our own worst enemy, right????? Let's HUG OURSELVESSSSSS AND ACCEPT OURSELVES, ZITS AND ALLLLL!!!! RIGHT NOW!!! C'mon, everybody!!! Let's throw some Love Fest!!!! ;-D
