TIP 51 | How To Draw Anything For $1 and Never Get Bored

2 comments

I started to take a bad habit.
Looking ay my phone or Ipad when I get bored.
And it happens multiple times in a day.

Besides that,
I am also part of people who think that kids today shouldn’t play at Angry bird, but instead playing marbles or hide and seek.

I have the nostalgia of the period where we only need our imagination to entertain ourselves.

TIP#51 Never get bored anymore with 1$

I reached Penang today, a pretty city of Malaysia famous for its Street art full of humor. I took my camera, a tripod and my phone to cover the city.

I didn’t bring any sketchbook to lighten myself as I should have brink a bag to put it in. Then, I saw an office furniture shop.

I stopped by and buy that ballpoint pen and a “pocket notebook” for 1$ only.

When I needed a break, I entered a Coffee.
So instead of feeling bored and getting my phone from my pocket,
I took that notebook and I sketched.

Look attentively at this picture.
Do you see anything?

Sketching creates emulsion in your brain where you only have to face yourself.

Some people assimilate drawing as meditation.
I can’t agree more.

I guess that to take a break, it is much a better option than instant chatting and checking information on one’s phone that we’ll end to forget the day or the minute later.

Instead, I have created something that I can keep!
I am tempted to say that no matter how cheap is your book note, your imagination is priceless.

Penang is actually the city where the famous designer Jimmy Choo learned how to make shoes. I should draw some sandals :).

Do not hesitate to leave a comment. See you guys for the next tip! Oh, I will soon upload some live videos of some of the sketches above. Tomorrow should be fine.
