I&#8217;ve painted the red walls. Some of them.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not a drawer either, for that matter. Why would anybody even think so? It&#8217;s a totally different thing.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve achieved perfection there&#8217;s really nowhere to go from there. I never did, of course. I started drawing semiseriously when I was maybe 12 or so, and kept doing it for a couple of years. I became technically proficient, but I totally lacked imagination. Meaning I was pretty decent at drawing something if I only had a model, but couldn&#8217;t really get anything to resemble anything without one. A couple of examples below. All I could find, really.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  style='padding-bottom:10px; ' class='av-special-heading av-special-heading-h3    avia-builder-el-2  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Anatomy Studies<\/h3><div class='special-heading-border'><div class='special-heading-inner-border' ><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p>If a fully dressed gnome and a blurry face qualify as anatomy, there you go.

These two pics are prime examples of what I was keeping myself busy with. These were drawn on A0 sized paper, and I had them on my walls for years. \u00a0Nowadays I might pay some more attention to, say, proportions in general.<\/p>\n<p>Then I just stopped drawing. Was fun, though. Pastel crayon dust everywhere. Still have the pastels. Nowadays I occasionally draw random stuff on the iPad, but nothing serious. The Apple Pen is one amazing piece of tech, incidentally.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div class=\"flex_column av_one_full  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding first  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last  column-top-margin\" style='border-radius:0px; '><div  class='av-horizontal-gallery av-horizontal-gallery-large-gap av-horizontal-gallery-enlarge-effect av-horizontal-gallery-2  avia-builder-el-9  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  av-control-default '  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"  style='padding: 6.75% 0px;' data-av-enlarge='1.3'  ><div class='avia-slideshow-arrows avia-slideshow-controls'><a href='#prev' class='prev-slide av-horizontal-gallery-prev' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue87c' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'>Previous<\/a><a href='#next' class='next-slide av-horizontal-gallery-next' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue87d' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'>Next <\/a><\/div><div class='av-horizontal-gallery-inner' style='padding-bottom:45%' data-av-height='45'><div class='av-horizontal-gallery-slider'><div class='av-horizontal-gallery-wrap noHover'><img class='wp-image-1013 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-1013 av-horizontal-gallery-img' width=\"766\" height=\"1030\" src=\"https:\/\/kimjohnsson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/StarWars-766x1030.png\" title='StarWars' alt='' srcset=\"https:\/\/kimjohnsson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/StarWars-766x1030.png 766w, https:\/\/kimjohnsson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/StarWars-223x300.png 223w, https:\/\/kimjohnsson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/StarWars-768x1033.png 768w, https:\/\/kimjohnsson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/StarWars-1142x1536.png 1142w, https:\/\/kimjohnsson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/StarWars-1523x2048.png 1523w, https:\/\/kimjohnsson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/StarWars-1116x1500.png 1116w, https:\/\/kimjohnsson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/StarWars-524x705.png 524w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 766px) 100vw, 766px\" \/><\/div><div class='av-horizontal-gallery-wrap noHover'><img class='wp-image-1012 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-1012 av-horizontal-gallery-img' width=\"1030\" height=\"662\" src=\"https:\/\/kimjohnsson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/RaidersOfTheLostArk-1030x662.png\" title='RaidersOfTheLostArk' alt='' srcset=\"https:\/\/kimjohnsson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/RaidersOfTheLostArk-1030x662.png 1030w, https:\/\/kimjohnsson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/RaidersOfTheLostArk-300x193.png 300w, https:\/\/kimjohnsson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/RaidersOfTheLostArk-768x494.png 768w, https:\/\/kimjohnsson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/RaidersOfTheLostArk-1536x988.png 1536w, https:\/\/kimjohnsson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/RaidersOfTheLostArk-2048x1317.png 2048w, https:\/\/kimjohnsson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/RaidersOfTheLostArk-1500x965.png 1500w, https:\/\/kimjohnsson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/RaidersOfTheLostArk-705x453.png 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":61,"menu_order":270,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kimjohnsson.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/75"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kimjohnsson.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kimjohnsson.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kimjohnsson.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kimjohnsson.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=75"}],"version-history":[{"count":45,"href":"https:\/\/kimjohnsson.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/75\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1266,"href":"https:\/\/kimjohnsson.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/75\/revisions\/1266"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kimjohnsson.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/61"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kimjohnsson.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=75"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
