Year so far

So far everything is going good, I have tried a new app called SLOWLY that lets me connect to strangers around the world, I have met some really wonderful people on there, One of whom I still talk to, Her name is Skywaay. She is on her way to becoming a doctor. We have stopped exchanging letters for a while now, as she has been busy with exams, but hopefully I can get back to talking to her when she is done with them.

As for drawing, I have made considerable progress, I have a general sense of what skills to build and what to improve on, I am learning Perspective and Human anatomy now, I have just started doing these so It is going to take a while before these lessons are internalized, I am expecting it to take 2 years (or more than that).
Recently I learned about colour contrast and found it really fascinating, Through contrast you can differentiate and decide colour combinations.
A rule of thumb is Dark/warm colour advances and light/cool colour recedes, Colour contrasts will make a design more interesting and make things pop out or go in deep space.

Learning about colour contrasts came as a revelation to me, I have been really bad at colours from the beginning and understanding colour contrast has boosted my confidence, Now I feel peaceful when I am with colours, the feeling of uneasiness has disappeared.

I will be drawing more in the coming years, learning more about different skills in Drawing and practising them.
Maybe, going forward I will do a technical or subject write up on drawing.

Other thing that I have been working on lately is learning Russian language, though I still have a long way to go and alot to memorise, Russian feels relatively easy (but I still suck at it), I do not practice this as much as I practice drawing though, will work on it more in the coming years.

Life is going okay, Not much to look forward to, I am planning to visit US by the end of this year, hope that goes well

Things I am going to try while I am visiting US are
- Shooting range - fire a gun
- Sky diving - after training
- Scuba diving
- Driving along west coast
- Visiting a strip club
- Gambling in Vegas
- Visit Grand Canyon
- Visit an art gallery

I will add more to this list as I think about stuff to do.

At this point of life my goal is to get good at drawing and experience as much as I can, visiting places and doing things I always dreamt of doing.

Still got a long way to go, I will start reading English and Russian grammar now.
Till next time o/ 

Jealousy

 Wow, I never thought I would write about it.  Most of my life I have either ignored it or was never bothered to feel jealous. I always felt...
