Description just some sketches I made today. I really need to learn to draw from life. I don't know why I feel that it's so difficult.

My mom's cell phone, Larry's wireless Xbox controller, our kitchen lamp and Lunar.

It is hard. But your shading is really getting amazing lately.

Thanks. <3 The Xbox controller was the most fun to draw.

I don't know why it feels like I reach some kind of huge stone wall whenever I try to do some life-drawing.

It's gorgeous, really.

Well, you haven't done a lot of it? It's much like learning a new language.

I guess so. /= But I think it feels much easier to learn a new language than to figure out how to draw things...

Hah!

You can learn how to draw things well enough for people to understand what you mean fairly easily -- but it's using the language beautifully that takes time anyway.

... yeah, that's true. /= I really wish that I had been mature enough to start drawing from life when I was much younger. Sadly, I didn't get to that level of maturity that I realized that I have to learn the basics until about a year ago.

Well, still, there are people who never get to it.

True. I'm glad that I finally realized that in order to get better, I need to get the basics down.

Yes. I suppose it's half-similar to my current struggles with grammar. I gotta dissect the building blocks of language and name them if I wanna get to a higher level with my writing.
