One of the members of my "hangout" ,Elena Malec, has proposed to create a drawing based on a poem that she had written. You can read the poem here.

The creative process starts with reading the poem and then producing some mental images of its meaning. At first come very concrete images of the objects described in the poem. After sleeping on it the next images start to be of a more philisophical nature. Even somewhat abstract. Getting these images on paper is a real challenge. This is the starting point for the drawing, the sketch.

Sketching is like walking, you don't actually think about sketching but you think about everything else. How many times have you taken a walk and just let your mind wonder?
