The Power of Drawing

Do you think that drawing is a form of talking in a sense, like a way of conversing? That's a great question. Yeah, I would say it's not a form oftalking. It's a form of listening. When I draw somebody, I pay very deep, slow attention to them and I notice details about their jawline or their shirt or their stance or how they're wearing their bag,. things like that that say a lot, but it's quietly said. And it's things that I don't pay attention to unless I'm drawing. So I think it is aform of listening, for sure. Wouldn't like a ways of being more present, I guess.
