Kantapään kautta
Varmaan jokaisella kynää vähänkin käyttävällä on joku oma tapa tai juttu miten piirtää, Esimerkiksi koirankin voi varmaa piirtää miljoonalla eri tavalla ja jokaisella on se oma "paras" tapa. Allekirjoittaneelle paras tapa opetella piirtämään juttuja on vain kokeilla. En vain koskaan ole kokenut mielekkääksi lukemalla kirjoista tai oppaasta tai käymällä taidekurssilla (vaikka vähä niitä olen käynytkin). Yleensä olen todennut että ne jotka opettavat toisiaan ns. "paremmin tietävät" osaavat vain ajatella omasta näkökulmastaan ja ovat juutuneet siihen yhteen ainoaan ratkaisuun. En siis sano että piirtokurssit olisivat mitenkään huono juttu, enkä halua yleistää näkökulmaan juutumista mutta en vain koe sitä suurta oivaltamisen iloa jos joku kertoo vastaukset.
Kurssista tulikin mieleen yksi tosielämän tarina eräästä taidekurssista jossa kävin joskus 8 vuotta sitten. Harjoiteltiin siellä tekemään pastellityötä hedelmävati asetelmasta. Olin tehnyt jonkinlaisen version ko. astelemasta (okei ei se kauhean hyvä nyt kyllä ollut) kun opettaja tuli katsomaan ko työtä, varjostukset eivät olleet hänen mielestään oikein tehdyt. Hänpä sitten otti pastelliliidun kauniiseen käteen ja alkoi tehdä varjostuksia oikeaoppisesti minun työn päälle.
En voinut kun katsoa ja ihmetellä sivusta kun tämä kertoi miten varjostukset tehdään ja teki minulle ne valmiiksi. Pakko myöntää, olen joskus hieman ilkikurinen, joten opettajan lähdön jälkeen tein varjostukset uusiksi oman mielen mukaan (kjäh kjäh), Opettaja olikin sitten hieman ihmeissään kun tuli uudelleen katsomaan miten työ edistyy kun varjostukset olivatkin täysin erilaiset kun mitä hän oli tehnyt. Mutta totesikin että ei voi olla vihainen koska uskalsin toteuttaa omaa tyyliä.
Rohkaisen siis kaikkia kokeilemaan piirtämistä ja värien käyttöä. Sanoisin että ei ole olemassa oikeaa tai väärää tapaa miten asiat pitäisi piirtää mutta loppujen lopuksi vain tekemällä ja toistamalla asioita kunnes osaat tehdä ne ja sen jälkeen tulla vielä paremmaksi. Taide on loppumaton kierre itsensä parantamista jota muut eivät välttämättä edes osaa arvostaa, mutta päivän päätteksi voit taputtaa itseäsi selkään kun tiedät saavuttaneesi jotain.
Taide, tunteet ja paha henki
Rakkaus, viha, ilo, suru, katkeruus, yksinäisyys.. tunteet on voimakas polttoaine piirtämiselle ja ylipäätään luovaan työskentelyyn. Välillä sitä vaan kaipaa piirtämiseen kunnon agressioita joista saa potkua piirtää ja purkaa samalla omia pahoja olojaan (ja miksei myös hyviä) oloja.Olen kulkenut vuosien aikana käynyt tunnekirjon sateenkaaren läpi ahdistuneesta erittäin iloiseen kun olen piirtänyt. Mutta kuten aiemmassa blogissa kirjoitin en pidä liiemmälti omien töiden merkityksen selityksestä joten alla olevan esimerkin syvempää tarinaa voi jokainen lukija tulkita vapaamuotoisesti.

# English Version
First off this blog has taken too long for me to write, for some reason i just never finished it up and haven´t have time to do the rest of.. I am not going to whip myself to blood because of that, but i should try to learn to finish writing what i started and commit to doing things more (other than drawing).
Learning trough heel
Everybody who even little knows how to use pencil has their own way or thing on how to draw. For example you can draw a cat thousands of diffrent ways, and everybody has the own "best" way. Yours truly thinks best way to learn is to try things out and see what happens. I have never been big fan of reading how to books or go to classes to learn how to hold pen (thou i have taken some of them). Usually i have noticed that those "people who know better" who teach others are all ready stuck in their own point of view of what´s the right way to do things. I am not saying that art classes are bad thing or all of them are stuck on the one point of view. For me, it`s just that i won`t get the same feel of discovering new things when someone tells me the answers.
Taking classes reminded me of one real life story of art class i took around 8 years ago. We trained doing pastel color of this fruit basket setting. Well i did some what a decent version of that setting (i admit it wasn`t really that good). When teacher come to see my progress he said that the shadings need to be corrected. So what he did was grab the pastels out of my box and start doing shadings on top of what i had just done.
All i could do was sit there and watch how he told how the shadings are done and did them ready for me. I must admit sometimes, i am bit misbehaving, so when teacher left i remade shadings on top of what he just did how i felt i wanted to do them.Next time he come to see it he was bit suprised about what i had done. But he wasn`t angry, he told me that i expressed my own style and it`s good to do that sometimes.
So, i encourage all people to try drawing and using the colors. There isn`t right or wrong way to draw things, in the end if you want to learn to something you just have keep doing it and keep doing it until you got it and then just keep get better at it. Art is a never ending loop of self development that others might even not appreciate but at end of the day, you can tap yourself on the back for what you have archived.
Art, Feelings and the bad spirit
Love, hate, joy, sadness, bitterness, loneliness.. feelings can be powerful fuel for drawing and overall creative working. Sometimes you need good aggression that gives you kick to draw and let off some steam (also why wouldn`t it work with good feelings as well).I have gone through rainbow of different feelings along the years i have been drawing, from feeling bit anxious to being really happy. But like i said on my earlier blog i don`t like sharing meanings of my own artworks, so the deeper story of example below can be interpret by your own imagination.
