A Non-Artist

Don't know how to draw well? Don't know how to paint well? Don't know how to make good works of art? You are not alone, so do not be depressed over it. I happen to be a bad artist as well.

It is not as if I really aspired to become an artist. Maybe it's just because I knew since childhood that I do not have the creative talent to go along the aspiration of being an artist. Even when I was a child, I disliked art classes because I had known that I wouldn't have any discernible future in the art world

Maybe it's just the hands that tremble too much. Maybe it's just the eyes that do not know how to determine what is pleasing and what is not. Maybe it's just the skin that does not know when to feel exhilirated over an artwork and when to not. I do not know. What I just know is that some pieces of artwork are valued more than the others.

Having said this, it is therefore unsurprising that art tools do not put any sense of usefulness to me. For me, some of these tools are mere redundancies that remain unnecessary. Take, for example, this drawing pencil kit. It is composed of a number of different pencils whose purposes remain unknown to me. I knew a pencil as only a pencils. I did not know that it has some variations.

However, I recognize that these things really have their differences to the eyes of a genuine artist. I guess I won't be able to find out what they are.
