I used to avoid drawing from life. I found it limiting when in reality everywhere I look I see limitless inspiration. My eyes must have been closed. The beauty is in life

When I was a kid I was always day dreaming. My imagination was so alive it was almost uncontrollable, especially in 4th grade math class where I missed out on foundational math because I was too busy drawing happy troll looking characters on my desk and giving them haircuts with an eraser or escaping to the away dreamlands that would spill onto my paper.
