Today I wish I could draw

[valis2]

I am completely obsessed with how lovely a fanvid I could make from Depeche Mode's "Never Let Me Down Again". If only I had fifteen-twenty fabulous highly-detailed ink drawings in the exact specifications I need so that zooming and motion during the songvid would look lovely I would make a beauteous fanvid. I have it all mapped out in my head and I think it would be fabulous.

But, when it comes down to drawing/writing, I'm still happy to be a writer, I think. Drawing has an immediancy to it that gets right to the audience and translates a thousand words into a visual; writing has its own special merits.

Still, at this moment I wish I could draw, just so I could indulge in creating this little fanvid.

I took a drawing class once. The teacher just had us draw as well. She was trying to teach us how to "see" things as an artist. I must admit, I'm a fairly inflexible, obsessive person, so it is very hard to figure out how to do something like that without having "rules" and processes. I'm pretty awful still at drawing.
