My Personality through Some Traits from My Pencil

Since I was young, my family and most of my friends have said that I have a talent for drawing; when I was eight I won my first drawing competition organized by "Le Soir," a group of newspapers in Belgium. Like an the old saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words", I usually use drawing to express my feelings. A simple drawing, for me, can convey far more meaning than a long speech. For instance, sketching a heart means I'm in love with someone. The comprehension of life's beauty and being more patient are the two things that I have learned to control from drawing art. For example, drawing a piece of crumpled paper seems to me as easy as writing a phrase with a subject, a verb, and a complement. However, if I want to give more precision to my sentence, I must use adjectives. So, for more details, my piece of crumpled sheet needs more traits like a phrase needs more words. It takes me a longer time, but it teaches me to be patient and understanding of how beautiful and priceless one's effort is. To sum up, drawing may be difficult for some people, but for me, it is a primitive language, even more efficient than oral communication because like the body language, it is a visual language, which is easy to figure out and it is innate.
