Here I was in a dark, cold damp room. the only light I got was through the metal bars. never got much food, didn't get to see my family. When I thought I would die here, the door opened, I saw an outline of a person, but because the light was so bright it was a shadow.
"come out now," said the shadow. In an instant, I knew who it was... I run out the door and there I looked at the person, I could not see and I did not know if to run for my life or to stay and see why the person let me out, I stayed.
the person said in a voice, I almost remembered. " Jimmy Jimmy, how are you, my old friend," he asked"we are not friends! you framed me, that's why I am in here, you" I screamed. well after that, I had no Idea that my family was waiting at the door for me with lots and lots of food, but the thing that most impresses me was all day, every day I got to see the light. I love light, it is the most loved thing on the planet. And in my house, I get carpet and blankets, even a bed. It is much better than a dark, cold damp room, don't you think.
I could not imagine my house like that. and the most thing I love is that every night I get a kiss and a hug from all of my family, "yay I love home! Yay" well at least it is better than the dark cold, damp room anyway. "yay!" I run around looking for more food, I can;t wait to go to bed again! This was the craziest day EVER!!!

Drawing. It can be very fun and you can go into your own world of imagination! All you have to do is grab a piece of paper and get a pencil… as you can see here on the right this person has gone into his/her own world and drawn this, amazing right? Well anyone can do this and all you need to do is practice. There are lots of different types of drawing! And here I will tell you, what they are! Also, you will learn how to start and why.

Why you should start drawing. When you draw you can enter your own world of imagination! Just grab your pencil and get out of the world. It can also relax you, I have many times been in a fight with mom & dad, then just gone up to my room and drew, it helped me relax and I drew till tea time.

You can also make money from drawing stuff, I haven’t yet but I know you can!

How to get into drawing. In most towns like Greymouth, you can go to art classes. I did that for about 3 weeks and then it stopped. Also if you are older like 40yrs old you can go to stampin’ up parties, I have been to one with my mom and it’s really cool, so I am not going to spoil it. You can also start at home, go onto youtube and search up something like “ beginners guide to drawing .”

As time progresses you will get better and better at drawing, so I do suggest getting into drawing!

What happens if you get pro enough? Well, you can set up a stall in a local market and sell it, this means you get extra money, and can get into a new routine. Like on Sunday you sell your art, and then all through the week, you make MORE. You can get more customers, and more money, but make sure your art is good enough to sell!

In this drawing guide, you learned…

• Why you should start…
• How you can start…
• What happens if you turn pro…
• And what you need to start.

So I hope you think about starting and getting into it!! DRAW ON!!!
