Drawing. Drawing itself is a relative term encompassing such a large variety of art itself that when one says drawing you can think of brightly colored cartoon style drawings made by elementary school children–to lifelike pencil sketches created by artists. 

Jose Carrillo and Peyton Timm are students here at Wilsonville High School, and their ideas of drawing are one and the same. 

Both Carrillo and Timm enjoy the dark, dreary environment of nighttime to sit down and sketch. Carrillo and Timm both draw with little to no color, with Carrillo perferring pencils, and Timm preferring black sharpies. Timm elaborated by simply saying, “I don’t like the colors.” She believes that her drawings are always the best before she tries to color them in.

Coming up with what to draw is a different story. Carrillo stated that when he chooses what to draw, he does one of two things, “It’s either something I look at online, or it’s just whenever I’m bored I think of something.” Timm, on the other hand, just draws whatever flies into her head. 

Both Carrillo and Timm resort to art whenever school, or life in general, gets them down; both of them relaying that when they feel particularly sad or stressed out, they sit themselves down to start sketching. 

While Timm and Carrillo do not sell their art, nor do they display it, both artists are extremely talented–and are content with creating their pieces solely for themselves. To them drawing is something you do for yourself, not for your friends, or family, but simply something you do to make yourself feel better.
