Drawing can be the perfect breakout from the outbreak (Have a look at the bottom of this post to see what 'outbreak' means. And, by the way, do you know what 'breakout' means).
Now that we have so much time we can learn how to draw. And drawing can be a wonderful way to go through these hard times of quarantine. I know some of you are already quite keen on drawing, but how good are you? I am a hopeless case, although I had technical drawing at school until I was your age.
Actually, my teacher was Mr Ramón Portillo, a great famous paintor from Seville, whose son used to play the guitar for Pablo Alborán. His son, Porty, used to play tennis with me!!! Could you believe it?
Here's one of my earliest posts, where you can read about the issue and just below some musical hints by my good friend Porty:

Anyway, going back to drawing, here's a Lingohack episode for you about the issue:

Now we have a lot of free time that we can take advantage of reading doing homework or something we want. Some people can enjoy their free time on their terraces or roof terraces. In all the free time I have, I take advantage of doing homework and playing with my parents and siblings.

We now have all the time in the world to do the things we did not do throughout the course and future activities. Also, we are doing more activities than when we were in high school.

Now, we have got a lot of time, for example player football in home with the open doors. The basketball in home with basket do for me and ball. Tennis in home or garage with the net-sofa, rackets and tennis ball, but the space is very small in home is best in garage with the net-car or net-motocycle. Volleyball in my build won't a ball between the flats with your partner.the end, play!

Drawing is quite good because it makes you able to express your feeling or what you think about things. It also stimulates your creativity and relax you when you are stressed.
ResponderEliminarIn this quarantine many people are starting to draw in their free time. There are many techniques, like graphite, pastel colours or oil paint; and many styles, like manga or realism, so each one is drawing in the style they like the most!
I am also drawing more because now I have more free time. I started to draw when I was 8 years old and I have drawn many styles. I started drawing manga, and later I drew tribal drawings and pixel art. Now, I draw realism, but my style makes me edit the references I use to use a lot of colours, so it's a kind of "fake realism".
To finish, I'd like to give some pieces of advice for those who are starting to draw.
1) You don't need expensive pencils to draw! I started with cheap ones.
2) Use grids to do sketches. It is easier to do them if you use a grid.
3) Be patient! A good drawing needs many hours to be finished.
4) Try many styles. If you try many styles and materials you will find your own style using the materials you prefer and drawing what you like the most.
In these times of quarantine paint, make soups words, it is always good to clear the mind.
ResponderEliminarWhen you've done all your homework and you have time to do whatever you want at home, you can be either very boring or very creative, in my case there were days that I didn't know what to do and I said one day I'm going to paint.
I took a pencil and a piece of paper and began to draw. I wanted to try to make a human eye and it didn't go too bad for me and later I tried to make Jack Sparrow and it came out more or less well, that day I felt very calm, my mind was released and I was able to focus on my homework.
My tips to start painting are:
The first would be to take a paper anda pencil.
The second thing would be to listen to music and be in a relaxed place.
The third thing is to have a creative mind and express your feelings, so that it is reflected on the paper.
And that´s it ¡¡¡
