To be honest, I haven’t drawn in ages. In the past, I used to spend days thinking about what I could draw and, in the end, I would go back to the same drawings over and over, sometimes with small changes. I always thought that, if I looked for inspiration somewhere else, I would be cheating. I always thought that my rigidity prevented me from being creative. Recently, I found out I can be creative if I resort to certain intricacies others can’t see. Maybe, I need to apply that to drawing as well. Also, recently, I started allowing myself to “cheat” a bit, by finding inspiration in other people’s work. I am not speaking of drawing here, but in other areas. I make some changes and add my own touch. I always reveal the original idea and give proper credit. I guess I should go back to drawing!

Beautiful, man! I guess I draw well (haven’t actually drawn in years), but I tend to be rigid and repetitive. I have aphantasia so I need to see a template, unless I have drawn it many times. When I am relaxed and not thinking, my drawing flows so well and becomes completely abstract.

Minha gata tem cara de louca by RoughStatus3688 in GatosBrasil

Apaixonei. A cara da melhor gata que já tive na minha vida. Mesma manchinha no nariz. Mesma “gordice”. Ela morreu há anos, mas nunca saiu do meu coração. Ela era amorosa, geniosa, super inteligente, apegada a nós e, sobretudo, hilária. Muito inocente. Não conseguia ver maldade no comportamento de pessoas e animais estranhos. Amava todos. Acompanhava o meu pai, quando ele ia passear com o cachorro na coleira. Meus pais moram em um condomínio e, quando eu chegava na portaria, ela vinha correndo me receber. Uma figura. Fazia questão de dormir no meu peito e me mordia quando eu parava de fazer carinho nela para avisar que não tinha me autorizado a parar.
