Without being a preacher on the good and the bad of life, today i proved the point that first opinions in strangers tends to be the accepted one. For instance, should i tell someone that my associate is an idiot, then my associate to say otherwise, they tend to go with the idiot notion. It's all very interesting and certainly applicable. Should you need a mediator for a dispute, no matter what happens always speak first. Chances are the mediator is a stranger, and thus it will work.
I've also found that i tend to waver between related points when i write, but not quite on the point that i need to make. It's sort of waffle, but not really as it's all very interesting and un-boring to write about. Just the thought of writing about writing about people is just interesting.
That being said, being have to write about something because you just have to is not fun at all.
I am also very sick (maybe biologically too) of people asking me whenever i draw anything, "Is that so-and-so?" or "That is X" when clearly they didn't draw it and unless it has a the label of "THIS IS A BOX" or something like that, it cannot be what they think it is. For some reason people think that because they notice a vague bunch of shapes that obey the laws of light and arranged in a particular fashion that they get to (very safely) say that it is what they say it is. It's all very maddening and annoying. Every. Single. Time. I draw something, by the end of the day, there will have been at least 10 different people asking me "Is that...." And it's like they don't know that i can change it with a few strokes of a pacer/pencil. Or both.
And i like drawing anything. So it makes me angry when people try to rationalize something which is just made by picking bits of things while on a jolting moving bus. It's like they see my drawings as a threat and their defense mechanisms kick in, trying to rationalize it and thus remove its "threat". People, drawings of 4 pebbles tied in a cross is not a threat to your health. And it is not a four leaf clover either, because it is not in the least symmetrical.
May you never comment on someone else's drawing till you have at least a title to guide you.

However, what happens if the drawing is left unfinished, or the artist has died without bestowing a name?
Law of First Impressions. Yes. Damn those Nazi-likes.
Then you may comment on it BUT the author will probably curse you from the grave. Or being unfinished, then don't comment on it. Just appreciate it. Do you really want to analyze an artwork? I don't.
Is your profile picture a tree?
LOL DAVY
btw i have no idea what you were saying for the first half. Maybe you should practise drawing in private or something
I do, but people are still like "WTF IS THAT IS THAT A BIG FAT TOMATO?!" and i'm like "no. idiot." A tree? O.o Yes, if you think that people's faces are trees. Therefore, your face is a tree. Ha.
Beaten.
"hey you, this guy is a fool and a liar"
"oh hey is that a drawing of a dick? cos it totally looks like one"
