How To Make An Oc When You Can't Draw Novels & Stories

He smiled again. "What are we gonna do?" I asked softly. "We will be drawing the representation of the new you." My eyes widened yet again, on hearing his words. "What?! I can't even draw a cir..." I suddenly paused mid sentence, a thought occuring to me. "Yes, I can!" I said loudly with new found vigor. "I CAN and I WILL! I refuse to say I can't anymore! Oliver, please guide me." I nodded eagerly and with anticipation at him.

"It’s okay if you don’t want me to—I just thought maybe you’d like to see what I do." Before I could stop it, a smile slipped out. "That would be amazing," I said, feeling a warmth spread inside me. "But you don’t even have a picture of me, how are you going to do that?" He chuckled, calm and confident. "I don’t need a picture to draw you." "Oh, okay, sure. And I hope I get to keep it once you’re done?" "Absolutely," Owen said, laughing lightly. His eyes flicked to the GPS as he eased the car onto the right street.

I can tell they are held together using tooth picks. “Good afternoon class. Today I want you to draw what you see before you from your own perspective. Do you see it in color. Black and white. Maybe it’s abstract. There are no wrong answers. So, draw and let the room take you to an inspirational place.” Tawnie tells the class. I pull out my pencils so I can get to sketching. I’m thinking today I need color. I will use my colored pencils to bring these colorful pastries to life.

But I didn’t want to exaggerate those features in my drawing either. I started with a basic head shape, remembering from my elementary art classes to draw an oval and put a T threw it for proportion. I continued with the body without working on the face or hair at the moment, struggling with the length of the arms and how to draw the fingers in a way that didn’t look too unskilled. I erased my hands several times before I finally decided they were okay. Then, I moved on to the rest of my body, deciding the picture would stop just above my knees.

Ben still had a smug smile. “I want one too.” Ed pursed his lips. “This is really good. I want one too.” Frank finished examining the clip and sat back. “My fiancée made it for me.” “I want one too.” Ed turned to Lara. “I… I can’t even draw. How am I going to make it for you?” Lara pouted. “Outsource.” Ed smiled slyly; Lara nodded perceptively as she eyed Dana. Dana pretended not to hear the conversation and concentrated on the glass of water in front of her.

“Draw me something that speaks to you. It can be anything, a dress, a coat, a mood, a feeling, even a memory. Don’t worry about perfection. I just want to see your creativity.” I took a deep breath and looked at the blank page in front of me. I picked my pencil and my hands moved slowly at first. I drew the outline of a dress. I thought of a flowy and soft dress, with pieces of sunshine in it. I was going to make a yellow dress. Just like the one I wore today. But somehow, as I added more lines, the dress became something else. The yellow changed into soft gold, and I added more black lines around it, but the lines looked more like cracks, or maybe… like broken glass.

So, he can draw! Shit! I made a bet! I need to make mine better than his! I look back at the hills and concentrate on my lines. When I finish my outline, Theo is painting his hills and his art is getting better and better by the second. But I don't lose hope yet and start mixing colours.

As long as he left me alone, it meant that the chances of his assault reoccurring were low. Strapping on a top and a long skirt, I made my way into the closet and fished out the box of drawing materials. At least Tom hadn't found this yet. If he destroyed them as well, I would lose my mind for sure. I hugged the box close to my chest, feeling immense relief course through me. If I searched for escape from my reality, this was it. This was my escape. I cleared the desk in the bedroom, laid out my drawing paper and grabbed a drawing pencil. Swiping through my phone for a drawing video online, I tried to get lost in mimicking the artist's steps and trying to draw up what I could.

Or just sensible not to want to be trapped in a small room with an angry werewolf on the full moon? I settle back in my chair. “It’s fine. I think we’re nearly there anyway. Here, you keep this sketch I did and do your own for it. Do you do… I don’t know how jewellers do this. A technical drawing. Third angle projection or whatever? Well, leave that one until I get back to you with the choice of music. Just do me a sketch now to take with me, then see if you can find the right stone. Get some prices.”

At the same time, he decreased the size of his drawing and increased the sturdiness of its muscle and also a weapon. It took him two seconds to change his creation for the better. “Off you go. Kill the gasoline man for me. He is your kin too. Let’s see how strong he is.” He patted his drawing petulantly. The drawing instantly jumped into the battlefield and pushed out the unrelated pests that were in the way. Orange raised his hand, creating numerous arrows above him. “These guys are like fucking stormtroopers,” he commented as he sliced his hand in the air. Shoot!
