My journey to painting

Since I was a child, I have had a special affection for painting. I remember when I was in kindergarten, my mother asked me what I wanted to learn, and I said without hesitation: "I want to learn to paint." So, I formed an indissoluble bond with painting.

Painting not only brings me fun, but also brings me the comfort of a good friend. When I am happy, I use colored pens to draw my joy; when I am unhappy, I use paint to draw my troubles. Painting has become an indispensable part of my life.

Painting has a unique charm. I like comics and gouache paintings very much. Especially comic characters, which I have always loved. Although I don’t have the guidance of a teacher, I have been working hard on my own and trying to draw comic characters better. From the time I started drawing comics to now, I have used countless sketchbooks. Looking at them now, they have a unique flavor. Although I was not very good at drawing before, every drawing embodies my love for painting. Everyone knows that the level of Japanese comics is very good. Although I hate the Japanese, I really admire their level of comics. After I got a computer at home, I looked for some Japanese comics on the Internet and copied them myself. Over time, my level improved a lot. Not only comics, I also like other things very much. When I was in elementary school, I always took part in painting classes on weekends and took several grade examinations. I have always treasured the certificates.

One of my sisters also likes painting very much. On the white wall in her room, you can see her paintings - when she was more than 10 years old, she insisted on painting the most beautiful things on her walls despite her mother's objections. She was bold and The rough lines made me deeply appreciate her love for painting, so I had the same topic with her.

In addition, I also like fashion design and home decoration. They all give me beautiful enjoyment. I have a sketchbook especially for designing clothes. Sometimes I draw a few sketches and show them to my sister, asking her to give me some advice.

I think painting is a very elegant art that can cultivate people's sentiments. It will be with me now, and I believe it will be with me in the future. Painting will be with me throughout my life. Because I have a unique feeling for it. In the past, I studied electronic keyboard, guzheng, calligraphy, etc., but I never persisted in them. I have persisted in painting only for nearly 10 years. This feeling can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.

I am very happy that painting can accompany me no matter what time I am. No matter what, I will never give up painting.
