I had such a good day today...
Well more like an ego boosting day...
It all started when I drew something at work. I kept getting complements on it. A lot of people really liked my work and to me it was just a simple drawing... something that I draw when I am bored... But to them it was something awesome. Eventually I think my co-workers got sick of being asked who's work it was and so they put it out of sight. Which was kind of funny...
I found amusing anyway.
Then on the bus ride home I was sketching and a bunch of kids got on the bus and one of them sat down next to me. Soon... I heard a voice say over the music streaming from my headphones. "Wow, your really good". As I said "Why, Thank you!" I turned my head to see that I was flocked by them. I gave a surprise laugh and said "Woah!"
They were super cute. They were asking me questions about drawing and I showed them the other pictures in my sketch book. They were awed. Eventually I asked if they wanted me to draw them a picture. They were so excited when I asked them. I ended up drawing Venom, Bomber Man, SpongeBob, and Superman.
I am now their idol.
In fact some of those are going to be framed behind glass. So they said. I just hope they hold on to them... if I become famous of course.
I don't think my ego has been this big in a LOOOOONNNNNGGGGG time. I feel shiny and happy. I feel like all those years of drawing and practicing are finally paying off. It is such a nice feeling to be appreciated and adored. I just need to put that skill into what I really want to do. And I already know that I am on my way to being somebody great.
