1. I always sort by colour (except if there are no scissors at hand to cut the string these types of candy normally have):

2. I always have to eat them in a certain order (yellow, orange, green, blue/purple, white, pink. For M&Ms it's brown, yellow, orange, red, green, blue):

(too lazy to take more pictures)

Also, I was laying in the sun for 4 hours and this is all the brown I got:

Not cool. Normally I'm brown within minutes XD

Okay, not that fast, but with 4 hours, I would've gotten some more brown than this.

Also, HECK my arm looks weird in that picture. I swear it's not this wonky, I'm just too stupid to take proper pictures.

Okay okay, onto the reason you're all here, ART (is what they call it. I call it lines on a canvas):

Okay can I just cut this one topic real short?

Practise.

That's what you'll hear from every artist when you ask them what you can do better, or how to improve.

And in all honesty?

It's stupid.

As if practise alone would do shit for you.

It's doesn't improve your artwork.

Now now, I know what you're gonna say. "But practise is important!"

Yes, Practise is important, and you should practise as much as possible, but it's not what's going to improve your art.

I'm in no way an art student, and maybe this whole "Practise to get better" stuff works on everyone but me.

But I can tell you, from 1st to 3rd grade, I was in my horse phase, and from 1st to 3rd grade, literally every single horse I drew looked the same. Even though i drew all the time. My colouring improved, my linework, but me art itself? Noodle-horses. all just noodle-horses.

But now?

Look at this cat above. Now look at the last cat I drew:

I literally did not at all practise drawing cats. same with the female from a few chapters ago. I went a year without drawing either of them, but now, I can do it. Why?

I believe that while practise is important to know what you're doing, the most important thing for an artist to do is understand what you're doing.

Understand how to draw something, what it's made up of, not just know.

I feel like it's the same with music.

If you can play the guitar, good for you. You know the notes and chords, that's all great.

But if you understand what you're playing, understand the patterns and hear the chords and notes, that's when you're going to improve.

For years, I've played the guitar. I didn't know shit about music, I just did what I was told, learned all the notes and chords by heart, but I cou.dn't, for the heck of it, play along to a song only from hearing it.

Someone who understands chords and notes can actually hear the chords and play along after hearing the first pattern (normally, patterns are repetitive). Meanwhile, I have to do it by trial and error, trying out every chord I know until I find one that fits. or just google the chords to the song.

Does anyone get what I'm trying to say? I feel like I'm drifting away from the actual theme XD

Anywho, it's just something I thought about lately. knowing how to do something and Understanding how to do something are two different things. Understanding is more valued, because understanding can create knowledge, while knowledge can't create understanding.

If I say, water can be split up into oxygen and hydrogen, that's the knowledge. If I know why it's possible, how it's possible, that's the understanding. At least that's how I see it.

Okay, sorry fo spamming you with this, I guess my mind just wandered off on its own. XD

Meddl Loide!
