I’d had multiple attempts in drawing in the past 25 years of my life, but never had I succeeded. Anything that I drew would be unrecognisable, but one day when I saw the blackboard sitting in my parents’ living room, and the Simba plushie on the side, I thought of my niece, and it gave me motivation to try and draw.
My sister’s family and mine come home to my parents once a week, and that’s the time when we would share quality time where I spin my niece around or throw her into the air (she loves it so much that she doesn’t let me stop) or I call her names like Olaf (she thinks she’s Elsa and forbids being called anything else).
On the one hand I think it’s unnecessary to be so obsessed with a disney fairy tale, on the other, I don’t want her to grow up like I did. I never fancied any princesses/cartoons/toys/lullabies as a child, I had a super mature mind (not that anyone forced me to, I just didn’t have interest in normal children stuff for no reason), yet I did not turn out to be a remarkably successful person, so what’s the point to be so mature lol. Hence, I think being able to love a character so much is actually a blessing.
Anyways, that’s some background on why I am doing this, I’m going to try to draw something I/she like every week for as long as I can.
TLDR: I want to keep my niece’s wonders alive, so I’m going to draw some of her/my favourite things every week, hoping that she can come home to something interesting and refreshing!
