Last drawing

When I started drawing, almost 3 years ago, I chose for pencil mainly to avoid the mess.
With paint you spend a lot of time preparing your canvas and when you finish it takes a lot of time to clean your brushes. And of course if you don’t you can’t use it the next time.
I didn’t want to go through all that kind of hassle every time I wanted to draw something.

This was not because of laziness but because living with undiagnosed autism takes a lot out of you.
But over the last few years I’ve learned to deal with autism.
I no longer feel exhausted from dealing with problems I don’t understand. Life has become that much easier that I feel ready for new challenges.

Doing this drawing I realized that that I’ve come to the end of what I can artistically do with pencils. I just don’t have enough control over my colors to do the things I want to do.

So next Friday I’m going to buy my painting kit.
I feel like a child the evening before Christmas. A lot of exiting things are going to happen. I can hardly wait.
