Had some creative fun with Quinn today!!! He made his own character and it was his FIRST TIME drawing with chalk!!! He's so talented!!
One thing about today stood out the most... before Quinn added the flames he was going to put:
"Sorry I didn't have time to finish" because we ran out of black...
I had him erase that (we still had time) and I told him "No.. even if you felt like you could do more... you stand by your work proudly! You never did this before, you just turned 13, and this is AMAZING!! Place your name and age Quinn"
Next thing you know so many people started coming up telling him "yeah this is amazing man" compliments left and right... THEN one of the artist gave him the last black piece they had for him to continue...
He then added the flames, background, eye details etc.!!
I told him.. the negativity that you focus on becomes a zit on your face that no one notices but you.. but if that's what you stand by then that will be the first thing everyone notices.. in addition you always take pride in your craft no matter what! Your dedication will outshine all else and all others"
That's my boy, he did that... and of course Messai said hi to everyone!!
