Stuff I Am Interested In

This is the page where I will take about the things that I am interested in.

Here I will give some details about the things that I like. I might, also, give some explanations about why I am interested in these things.

I have liked drawing since I was very young. I always liked to draw flowers and landscapes. I did not think for a moment that I could use the pencil to draw faces.

One night, I suddenly picked up a pencil and started to draw a picture of someone in a magazine. That one was Adolph Hitler. Everyone who saw that picture could not believe that I drew it. I, myself, did not believe that I was the person who drew this picture. My father said that it was 100% the picture of the Nazi dictator. After this picture, I drew nothing for about 4 or 5 months. After that, I drew several pictures.

On this web page, I posted three pictures that I drew. Click on any one of them to view full size picture. The first one on the right is a picture of a girl that one of my friends gave me her photo and asked me to draw her(I don't even remeber her name)The one on the left is a picture of Adolph Hitler. The other one on the right is a picture of the former American president Bill Clinton.

You might ask the following question: what made you interested in drawing?

I guess that one of the things that motivated me to draw faces was a picture of Napoleon that was drawn by a famous artist (it is on the bottom of this page). That picture of Napoleon became one of my favorite pictures. It was so beautiful that I started thinking about drawing faces. You can see this picture on this page. The picture has a lot of things in it that all of them send a message that Napoleon used to be a hard worker.

The picture is really well made. The actual picture is in the Smithsonian National Gallery of Art. It is very big and tall. It is even taller than a normal man. Looking at the posted picture, one can tell that it shows that Napoleon was a tall man but he was not. So, it eliminates one of the characteristics that most people consider it to be a sing of weakness which is being short. Showing a tall leader in his military uniform, the picture sends a message about the great power and domination that Napoleon used to have as the picture suggests. Also, the picture shows Napoleon standing straight with his determined face which sends the message that Napoleon used to be serious, and determining to make his visions come real. It shows that he has his sword on his chair which tells us that he always used to be ready to go and march his huge army.

Furthermore, the way that the picture shows Napoleon's military uniform and his missed up hair tells us that he has been in that uniform working for along time. Looking at the clock in the picture, one can tell that the time is 12 after 4. The clock itself does not tell us whether it is 4:12 in the afternoon or in the evening but another part of the picture tells that. It is the burning candle that tells us that it is 4:12 in the evening. This sends the message that Napoleon used to work hard in his uniform for a long time, no matter how late it might get in the night. In addition, the picture shows a book, a newsletter on the floor, some pieces of paper on the desk and a quill pen. This shows that Napoleon was an educated, intelligent leader who was aware about many news and principles. All these items combined together give us a picture of Napoleon as a soldier, an emperor, and as an adminstartor. All this made this picture so great that Napoleon considered it as the best picture of him.
This picture of Napoleon is so great that I always get overwhelmed by the irresistible influence and of it. It is more than just a picture, dont you agree with me?
