I like doing pencil sketches when I was a kid.
I even ventured into drawing with charcoal pencils.
It would take me hours but I could be totally engrossed in it.
Even in my retirement, I no longer have the patience or mood of going back into pencil drawings.
As an alternative, I am now into photography, which gives me instant results of my work.
In lieu of pencil drawing, I am now into calligraphy. As some readers said, it is like doing Tai Qi on paper.
Here are two photos. The pencil sketch one is converted from the color one by using a software.
I guess it will take me a life time to draw it with all the small details!
