ART TALK

Jules Adrian Dela Peña

As a child, I was always wanted to bring
my imaginations to life and drawing
makes it possible. Drawing is a form of
visual art in which a person uses various
drawing instruments to mark paper or
another two-dimensional medium.
Drawing became a hobby for me. With
the help of those boring subjects in my
high school days, all of my notebooks
back part were covered in scribbles and
sketches.
For me, I draw just for fun. I joined the art club at my school. I entered a poster making
contest in our school with my friends for fun and for being excused from our classes. That
day art became my escape from reality and problems. I was chosen to represent our
school for a contest in poster making. I felt the pressure of representing our school. I didn't
win but it was a great experience for me.
I tried sculpting for our contemporary
arts subject. Sculpting is the art of
creating objects by shaping
materials. This shaping can be
carving, where material is removed
from an object like marble to reveal
form, or modeling, where the artist
creates form by adding materials,
such as clay. Sculpting was hard for
an inexperienced person like me it
was a challenge. I tried to research
for sculpting tools and materials.
Lacking in sources, I ended up using
terracotta clay.
I was hooked in doodling
with the influence of my
friends, In doodling your
mistakes doesn't matter
because you can make it
into something new unlike
other types of drawing
where it should be precise.
I discovered digital art on YouTube. After
watching time-lapse videos of drawing I
became interested. Digital art is an artistic
work or practice that uses digital technology
as part of the creative or presentation
process. That time my laptop can't run
photoshop so I tried using my phone. I tried
different applications and ended up with
Adobe Draw and MediBang Paint.
This is an unfinished work because now I rarely draw and only
when I have time for it.
