Drawing

October 15, 2018 by Adam Mazek

I did not draw anything since the times when I graduated from primary school. Today, I think more and more about starting to draw sketches.

I genuinely admire drawings of masters like Leonardo da Vinci, Salvador Dali, M.C. Escher, or Zdzislaw Beksinski. The funny thing regarding my attitude to my sketches is that I possess more and more willing to start thinking about drawing by myself. And you know what? I do not hurry with this activity. For today, I do enormous work regarding my photography and running my website. These activities consume a lot of time. For today I still did not draw anything. One thing I know, when I start to do the drawings, I am sure that it will also consume much amount of my time. That is why I still do not that.

The more I postpone this activity, the more I am curious about my feelings regarding this activity.

For example, if someone asks me today what I want to draw, I would answer that I do not know yet. Probably, when I start to prepare to make the drawing, I will close my eyes, and then I will begin to draw whatever will come to my mind like a kid. The only thing I know is that I will get into the flow of the creation and pull everything which shows in my imagination. The most exciting thing is that I consciously postpone this artistic activity because the more I wait, the more I feel I will have joy regarding this activity.

I believe it is the same feeling as Fyodor Dostoyevski possessed when receiving the letters from his brother.

When he got the letter in his hand, he did not open it immediately. He was touching, weighing it for even fifteen minutes before opening. He tried to imagine what is inside the envelope and what new and fresh new feelings and thoughts this letter will bring.
I have a similar situation with drawings. The more I wait, the more I am curious about what things I will be drawing.
