This is just a follow up (I guess) on the last post.

I know now why Fred Gallagher is the world's greatest artist in my opinion. All his drawings are more or less based on things in real life that surround him every day. The main character in Megatokyo is based on himself. All his drawings come from pure emotion that he experiences.

I have been drawing for about the last hour and a half. Freehand drawing is probably the most soothing and relaxing thing someone can do when they are as angry or frustrated as I was tonight. All my hard emotions seemed to melt away as I just did free strokes on the page with my pencil. I just finished my first drawing, and I am extremely proud of it. All my hurt feelings were channelled throuhg my pencil onto the paper and now I've done what I consider to be one of my best works.

I tried writing out what I was feeling tonight. I tried making up some lyrics or poetry or anything at all to get these feelings off my chest. Nothing worked. But the second I sat down with my pencil and paper, I just went at it and couldn't stop myself from expressing how I was truly feeling, without using words (well, a few).

I'm still drawing right now. I have a few ideas left in me for tonight, I hope they turn out as well as this one did. I will definitely post it on here sometime in the near future when I get a free moment.

I'm feeling much better. I love drawing.
