Thank you, liar
Unfortunately, i’ve just concluded my last year at second grade secondary school, so no more history classes where i can draw
Jokes aside, now i need to get ready for the final tests, those horrible tests which decide whether you’re ready or not to leave school. And there’s a whole year of history classes i’ll have to catch up on in a week or so :eek:
Anyway, i’m going to post some old pictures, and here comes a very old one. But first, the history of my very short and uneventful drawing life
Like many, when i was about 8 i quit drawing, probably because i didn’t feel good at it. What a stupid reason to stop doing something, but hey, i was 8.
So, no drawing from me for about 7 or 8 years, except those i had to make as homework. They were mostly perspectives and orthographic projections of simple solids, and for 3 years there were also some exercise with coloring.
Then, i began making “plans” for spaceships, because i was playing a kind of “mind game” with a friend. You can skip the description of the game
Summarizing, my friend was in charge of imagining the politics and technological advances of Earth and i was in charge of the same on… Jupiter, where a more advanced silicon-based form of life had developed. It all started with a darn big spaceship from Jupiter crash-landing on Earth to ask for help defending our Solar System against Sirius. Together, after causing Sirius B to fall into Sirius A thus producing a supernova that wiped out life from all the planets around (yeah, life is tough), the two planets built up an empire, slowly conquering the whole galaxy and repelling threats from deep space. This game went on for years, which became thousands of years in our “in-game time”
So, this year, in September, i was just bored in the classroom. I wanted to draw a spaceship, but i had no ideas. I tried some random lines to see if i could come up with something, and in the end that something wasn’t a spaceship.
Here it is, an astronaut who gets stopped by… something, while he was just trying to enter a strange forest he found on this alien planet.
With all its limits, this was much better than what i thought i could ever draw, and i enjoyed making it so much, that i decided i had found something to do during history classes
