completing a drawing

It’s just a personal feeling.

You draw for so long, sitting at the desk, being patient, trusting, enjoying, and letting the process take as much time as it needs. And at the end, when it’s completed, all you can do is look at it. Knowing that you won’t be able to be in the process anymore is just sad and sometimes painful. I just fall in love with the process, and the longer the drawing takes, the deeper the connection gets.

What hurts the most is when you have to give the drawing to someone else. 

But this is also what makes me stronger and reflects how life is.

An Evening at Swayambhu: Sunset and Solitude

 I went to Swayambhu yesterday. I rarely go out simply for enjoyment, without a specific purpose in mind.

I woke up late and started working on a commission sketch I’d been trying to finish. Honestly, I hadn’t really wanted to take on this commission, and I ended up regretting it. I started to hate the process and just wanted to complete it as quickly as possible. Around 16 o’clock, I decided to take a long break and relax. I watched YouTube for a bit, and then, for some reason, I decided to go to Swayambhu.

Swayambhu is very close to where I live—about a 15-minute walk. Yet, I rarely go there. The last time I visited was at the end of June with Krish, for a morning walk.

At around 17 o’clock, I put my digicam in my pocket, plugged in my earphones, played Eminem, and started walking. I realized, too late, that I’d forgotten to wear my watch. I only noticed it when I reached Swayambhu.I have a habit of constantly checking the time on my watch, so it felt strange not being able to glance at my wrist and see it there. I went up to the top, sat down, and just observed people while enjoying the sunset. The sky was clear, and the moon and Venus were visible. I took some pictures with my digicam and headed back around 18.5 o’clock.

Here are some of the pictues I took.

It was a nice experience, and I enjoyed it. I plan to go for another evening walk soon.
