A few weeks ago we had a cleaning (and clearing) session in our house where we got rid of so many papers from college years. I checked everything, saved the programming notes and my mother suddenly handed me a clear book of my old drawings. I was a bit surprised, I actually did compile them some 3 years ago, maybe.

And these are just those anime drawings that I scanned and submitted to deviantart years ago. Some were funny, some were stiffly drawn, but they all have shiny hair! Wow i envy them, and some papers were full of hands, yeah because it’s quite hard to draw (real normal looking) hands for me. So i would always hide those hands…

It’s nice to see them, they remind me of my dream of being an artist. But now, although I’m still an anime fan, I would want to focus on illustration. Yes like those children’s books.

Just like this one drawing that i found, mice or whatever damaged the paper spared the kids and the teacher. I want to illustrate those moments, just like what a good camera can do. If you’ll observe the picture above, in a class picture, there are so many stories, one seems to be sleeping (just like me in pictures), one is super smiling, one looks normal, one is serious, you can know who are the troublesome boys, etc. etc. I would like to make more similar illustrations.

Just sharing this:

God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble.

That’s from Psalm 46. I ride a taxi every working night and most of the time, i play this song, “You are my strength” by Hillsong.

Because just when I thought it is so tiring already, i know God’s love sustains me, and He is my strength! So there, no reason to keep on complaining.
