Passion is all we need

Oh man Taiwan is cold but still manageable for me. I duno why, I thought I cant handle it cox I had been overwhelmed by Singapore's humid weather.

I guess its the training of overcoming the air-con in our school let me get more used to this weather now.

W should be very clear of what I am saying. haha:)



Today we had dumpling soup as breakfast and man, the dumplings are "gigantic"!! ;D

I took a photo of it and you should really compare it with those in sg. haha~


I talked to the owner which is one of my dad's friends about art as he used to teach sketching for 7-8years!

How amazing is that?:)



He was commenting about my sketches I did over the past few days and he said the only things I'm lacking in my sketches are the distance problems and also the hatching lines of pencil sketching.


I was doing really basic sketching so I did not add those things in. Guess I really long time never practice my skills. Well it should not be an excuse:)


In terms of proportions and others he said I did a pretty good job.

yay~ at least still 30% of my sketching skills is with me?:D


We talked a lot but the only thing which he kept emphasizing to me was to have passion in art.


熱血. The warm blood(direct translation).


He even introduce me to one of his junior to ask me to reference to his style.

Sadly speaking, his junior no longer draw now and guess what he's doing for job? selling army stuff! Guns and all.



So both of them sort of "gave up" their interests in art and pick up something that might not be what they intend to do when they're younger.


I can see some sort of passion left in his eyes when we discuss the sketches I did.
Also the kind of looking forward that one day I can become someone great in this area.


Frankly speaking, I am not that great to carry the dreams they used to dream about and think that I'm continuing my dream on behalf of them.



To me, the only thing that kept me going is really my own passion. No one else.




I guess it's the same for all of us.

Passion is all we need.


To persist on going.
