I was someone ...I really enjoyed reading this post. I was someone who followed the other path that Andy wisely decided against. I am mother to a 10yr old super talented budding artist whom I know will have to make this choice one day. I hope that his father and I would've armed him with the right tools to choose wisely (whatever that choice may be). Reading about Andy as a young person reminds me so much of my son...his love of comics and drawing the characters, his technical proficiency at such a young age..I mean, he just gets it. Meanwhile, I at the age of 42 still struggles with my artistic identity. I walk the fine line between encouraging, but not forcing a direction on him.

I have recently started teaching myself to draw and I LOVE trying to draw my daughter, especially her face. I get frustrated with myself often because I feel that a "true" artist should be able to draw from memory, but I never seem able to draw her face or any other from memory. <br /><br />Andy's work is beautiful and I am thankful that I now know even great artist draw from pictures!Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09611764295297526639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15337568.post-83593078170878569792013-02-07T18:22:30.182-08:002013-02-07T18:22:30.182-08:00Most people think of engineers as being dull, left...Most people think of engineers as being dull, left-brainers, but once my hubby, a mechanical eng., was telling me that a fellow we knew was one of the most amazing engineers he'd ever met.

I stayed in the Navy for twenty years and even earned a masters degree in mechanical engineering. I studied drawing while at Purdue and allowed it to augment my need to teach. I continue to use it today. I have a longing to get back to my drawing. I, too, have doodles everywhere in my notebooks, on white boards, etc. I wrestle with the discipline of engineering and the freedom of art. Andy's story was inspiring. I hope you draw like nobody's looking! BTW, I play blues guitar and my wife's a yoga instructor. It's just ridiculous how many parallels I read! Thanks for this snapshot into your life.
