How to Bambi? How to Bambi Bambi Bambi?

It is about questioning how to think of what you see, especially thinking of what you see. Can you see a Bambi, imagine this being and do we need Disney? What does your hand do with a pencil, what does your eye do, what does your mind focus on and where do we aim at with this nonstop desire for cuteness? Getting better at drawing doesn’t seem to be it. Endless bundle of questions as drawing is difficult and how do we manage it, not even using pencils that much.

Holding a pencil and thinking of an animal which can get hurt, a small infant Whitetail deer, of course you think about an infant Whitetail deer and the joy the image brings. It is well preserved. How it moves little by little and how new everything is to it. You need to ditch that chewing gum. You think about

gliding puzzled on ice with other drawn characters in the movie, puzzled by how does such clueless beauty survive in nature. How does a precious moment survive and how short it is.

Timeless truth which makes you want to eat

less and think more or the other way round, eat like there is no tomorrow. It is Like You may shit on yourself when you die, fall in tall grass and never get up. Clumpsy human, it is Slippery, unexpected and the dangerous unkown is right there. Horror almost and definitely unbalanced, symmetry is lost constantly. Someone will clean after you, is the hope. Put pieces back together. There is always a new one is the assumption, new beginning.

Take a pen and draw big brown eyes with lashes. Imagine babylike head of a deer, long legs, helpless looking adorable not knowing of your qualities, what you can do with a pen, big

is the image of watery puzzled bright eyes not understanding what you are and what you do. So what do we do? Start with kind strokes with a pen like you

were petting the head with your hand. Draw out lines and hair bit by bit slowly. What

kind of ears do cute bombs have? Kind of delicate but large. So gently.
