What Weirdest Things Have You Ever Drawn?

When I was a teenager, my brother and I attended a local rock concert. You won't believe this one: he had a bottle of white-out, and then drew an anarchy sign or a pentagram (I’m not actually sure which, and I believe it was on the concrete), and then set it on fire with a lighter. This happened many years ago since I'm almost 43 now. Of course, this drawing doesn't make the most sense until you know the context. But it's a reminder of how interesting and sometimes peculiar drawings can be!

Naruto in Diapers: A Classic Oddity

I guess some people would consider my drawings of Naruto in diapers as pretty weird. Yes, really. Don't ask me where these ideas came from, but they certainly show my rebellious spirit and alternative sense of fun. These drawings, though strange, reflect the imaginative nature of my younger years and are a testament to the joy of leveling up with creativity.

Here are a few more examples of my odd drawings from when I was a child:

It's amazing how those early drawings look. I wasn’t a good artist at 7, but I guess I had a unique imagination. These drawings showcase my early struggles with drawing and the joy of creating even when the outcome isn't what you initially intended.

Our Unusual Drawings: The Unforeseen Course

Looking back, I can hardly recall the weirdest thing that I have ever drawn. However, there has always been a peculiar tendency in my drawings. Whether I was aiming to draw a tree or a dragon, I often ended up with something entirely different. For example, I endeavored to draw a tree, but instead, I ended up with a bulb. Similarly, when I tried to draw a dragon, I accidentally drew a baby T-Rex.

Why did these happen? It goes without saying that back then, I refused to practice with references, thinking that using them was cheating. I was wrong. So many professionals today use references as a tool for achieving their goals, but they don’t copy references verbatim to avoid plagiarism. What I have learned is that drawing with references and mastering proper drawing fundamentals can lead to the results you desire.

Perception is Everything: As Weird as We Are

I tend not to see the world around me as weird. As a matter of fact, I often accept that much of what I do seems weird to others. Nevertheless, drawing has always felt like a gift that has been given to me since birth. I believe this comes from my father, who tried to teach me when I started. My skills likely surpassed his, and I have always found the creative process to be a natural extension of myself.

Although some of the early pieces I drew might seem interesting or peculiar, nothing I have ever drawn or attempted to draw seems odd to me. However, some of the early drawings might have had some ‘interesting’ elements that made them hard to decipher at the time.

Conclusion:embracing the Unconventional

Now that you've had a glimpse into the unconventional world of my drawings, let's reflect on the importance of embracing these uniquely weird expressions. It's a reminder that sometimes the best creations come from the most unexpected and unconventional approaches. So, don't be afraid to embrace your unique sense of creativity and imagine worlds that others might find strange. In the end, it's all about the journey and the joy of creating.

And if you ever start a rock concert with a bottle of white-out and lighter, well, just make sure you have a good firefighter nearby!
