Drawing helps me express and record my emotional perspective on a moment, event, or relationship, at the time of drawing. That is why the way I draw something is never the exact same moment to moment. The imperfections in my work are the expressions of emotions triggered by non-visual sensory information that is then expressed visually. Because of this, when trying to draw in a “life-like” style, I often become frustrated that these visual expressions of other sensory information don’t make physical, visual sense. This is either because I have not accepted the emotions/feelings/sensations expressed in the drawing, or I am not yet comfortable recording and sharing those feelings. Sometimes this discomfort is also because, as my perspective shifts moment to moment, I feel the need to adjust the drawing with me. Drawing forces me to face the imperfect feelings that I try to avoid, it makes me reckon with them, helps me accept them, helps me see them as beautiful or at least worth feeling and recording.
