The golden drawing

Everyday, I draw looking for that touch that will tip over the image and spill lines onto the paper. It is frustrating trying to create life in a matter of minutes, imitating what looks so seemless. The character's we've grown up with were alive to us, and were as much a part of our lives as friends that've come and gone. It takes effort to realize they are carefully constructed. Watching a pencil test of a scene from the Lion King is like watching a mechanical city huff through time. Each line comes to life, lives, and dies to make way for the next.

Those are the giants that made the dirt we're standing on.
