Although art is wide and broad in its scope it’s undeniable to say that drawing serves as a cornerstone of artistic creativity. Drawing is nearly its own language in many cases it can convey thoughts and emotions better than words could ever get across, images in many cases are more powerful, visceral, and intimate than words. People have drawn for hundreds of years and millions of hours, I have drawn for fifty hours throughout my entire life tops. However, I was surprised with the ease and speed at which I could illustrate even with my gross lack of practice. Already drawing is an enjoyable experience even though I’m fumbling with my pencil as much as I’m putting down lines. If I dedicated more hours to drawing I have no doubt that I would enjoy it significantly more, as well as improve my drawing ability. In addition to being an enjoyable hobby drawing very well could serve to improve my career due to my major in aerospace engineering. All engineers have to be able to draw somewhat well an easy example being diagrams. The ability to properly illustrate the dimensions of an object and to draw a reasonable sketch quickly is indispensable in not only school life as an engineer but in a career in engineering as well.
