Today in French I did this and was struck with the desire to draw a hand. Now if anyone had asked me before that I would have said "oh no, I'm terrible at drawing realistic things" but what I discovered was if I just look at my hand I can recreate it on paper.
When I got home I started a drawing of a girl (which is surprising because I tend to shy away from drawing people) who was floating in the air. Then I added the ribbon thing wrapping around her body and block letters saying "TRANQUIL" at the top, also wrapped in the ribbon.
I'm not entirely sure why I wrote "tranquil" but I guess I just felt it when I was drawing. I don't think it's done yet, but I don't know what else to add. It just feels a bit empty on the sides. I've been thinking of maybe just adding some wavy lines circling around the girl but I'm not sure if that would add to the aesthetics of the picture or detract from it. I'll probably make the decision sometime during school tomorrow.
This drawing has inspired me to continue pursuing art. I'm going to develop my ability and get better at drawing real life things and maybe take an art class in the summer or during senior year.
Here are my sketches:
