Why do you draw?

Tommy Pinedo
Hey everyone!
My name is Tommy. I am a 31 year old artist currently learning my foundation on proko drawing basics course. I started drawing seriously a year ago. I completed a 1 year art challenge which I had to teach myself how to draw. After doing that, I wanted to enroll in a art program that I can learn with structure and organized assignments and practice. I am glad I found Proko! :D
For me, drawing is a way to be creative, sure. But more than that... its how I've coped with a lot of heavy feelings I've experienced over the past three years. It helped me navigate loneliness, anxiety, and self doubt in a way nothing else really could. At times its not about the final piece, but having somewhere to put those emotions too.
So! I am curious why do you draw? is it purely for the love of the craft? for fun? for healing? I would love to hear everyone's stories, no matter how simple or complex.
I look forward to meeting and seeing your art :)
Hey hey
Thank you for opening this topic. I think it's wonderful that your creativity helps you to get ahead - that's the magic of art:-)
Your pictures are amazing - especially when one learns that you have only been painting for a year, wow!!!
I have always liked to draw - but I never seriously dealt with the art and the various techniques - which is why I am now doing this course and am an absolute fan!
I paint because I just love it! I forget everything around me and can totally focus on the corresponding project... Of course, you also experience its ups and downs on this path - but I am always happy when I can take a pen in my hand - very simple but wonderful for me:-)
I am also looking forward to more works of art from the community and wish everyone success, creativity and fulfilment on their future path
Hey Bri!
thank you for responding and sharing! I totally agree with that same feeling that when I draw, I forget about the world. I forget about any worries or stress that I have. It’s an escape for me to create another world. It’s a good feeling especially afterwards when I’m done, I feel accomplished. It’s the art of creating that makes me feel happy.
you are very talented and I love the way you color. I look forward to see everyone else’s responses and stories! :D
