SEC S20W1/ Painting like a child
14 comments
Drawing is one thing I have been passionate about; it runs in our blood. I mean, my family and mine have always been exceptional in nursery school days. Boys and girls call me to draw for them, and on many occasions, their result grades are higher than mine because it seems I spend more time tracing theirs perfectly, and most of the time, our scores are equivalent. I know this has happened to most of us here. To add to this, I generated some change from that, and this made biscuits and sweets affordable and accessible for me because I got an income-generating source, smiles.

Drawing is an everyday activity in schools; even in tertiary institutions, we still draw, so this concept shouldn't be discarded. Thanks to the organisers of this contest, I feel every child should love this better than mathematics because it is more fun; it brings thoughts into reality. Imagine drawing or painting myself perfect; oh, that will be, uh, magic.
Since this runs in our blood, I decided to call my brother second to the lastborn and ask him to showcase his skills in drawing. He asked me what to draw, and I told him I didn't know. I said, "I have been seeing you draw, so draw anything that comes into your mind." One of the drawings that I have seen him draw is his superhero drawing. Spiderman, Batman, and Power Rangers—he loves these martial cartoons, and the picture is always in his mind, but since he hasn't watched them for some time now, what I see is different.
The step involved
The only step involved in this was the preparation of the material, and then the drawing began; he started with the head; in drawing, I believe one can start from anywhere depending on the simplicity of the picture that will appear on the paper.

For a human being, the head start is the perfect place.

After the human body had been fixed, he went on to make a nice background that added more beauty.
Meaning of each stroke
First, I asked him what he drew on the paper, and he told me it was Chinese made by the popular fashion brand Dior; he told me he loves DIOR, which is why he decided to make a DIOR inscription on his t-shirt.
Why the flash? He told me DIOR is fast-rising and it's popular, which is why he created the flash using the O on DIOR; his creativity obsesses; he loves DIOR clothes, yes, but he doesn't have them; I promise to get him one for this creativity.
The final part is what amazes me because he drew a street light and says he assumes there is steady light in China. Amazing thought by my brother; he has proven to be a future leader.
My feeling
To me, I felt exempted because I wanted him to do this himself. The only way I took part was when he asked me the colour to use. I told him some colours, and he chose the one he liked. There is this happiness I felt seeing my brother draw. He has been seeing my drawing, and I decided to let him try it out; it shows a level of improvement in this skill.
The child's feeling
I asked this kid how he felt, and he gave me a good response with a conjunction, saying that he didn't like the way the pencil crayon appeared on the paper and that snapping it didn't bring out the original colour. I assured him of getting a poster colour next time. I love the way he was point-blank, pointing out those tools that didn't make his work nice. He also said he enjoyed drawing.
I would love to see entries from @vickmoon @bossj23 and @emmaboy23 in this contest
