Studying for art history reminds me why I love Vincent Van Gogh. He's quite an inspiration to me, and I'm not entirely sure why aside from the fact that like a lot of artists he never had it easy. But despite his depression and other issues he made the most beautiful pieces that I have ever seen. I guess I relate to that to an extent. That despite his hardships he created things that are still loved by people around the world. It's what I aspire to be.

Found this piece in my book, and now I think I might paint today.

Starry Night Over the Rhone by Vincent Van Gogh

I draw people not because they are simple subjects. I draw people because they are the most intricate and diverse subjects that an artist can try to capture on paper. We're made of moments of sadness, happiness, and anger. We're made of complex emotions that are never expressed the same way, and everything down to our genetic makeup is different from each other.

I draw people because the moments that make up how we are as humans are small moments. They're small conversations at coffee shops, the moments alone in the corner of the bookstore, how we order our food when we're out, or when we're having a lazy day at home. Those are the moments that I draw. I never get people to sit or pose for my drawings because they are artificial. Those moments are grueling and boring for the subject, and they're filled with anxiety and stress. I want to see how people are in their simplest of activities.

You may call it a variety of things that have to do with me wasting time with watching people, but I see it as the finest art in the world in motion unfolding right in front of my eyes.
