Essay: What have you achieved?

My personal accomplishment hasn’t quite been achieved yet. It’s a simple goal I have in life, and I don’t think it would ever be achieved. My goal is to improve in art; but you can’t stop improving your drawing skills. Though I am truly proud of how much my art has progressed during my middle school years, but I’m also sad because, I could be better, and I haven’t reached a point yet. I don’t think I would ever be completely satisfied with my skills.

Art is really important to me because it’s a skill I have, that other people may not. Just as some people are great at sports, and some people are exceptional singers, I will say I have talent in my artistic abilities. Other people compliment me, but I’m not modest. I tell them when something doesn’t look that great, and they complain about how good it looks to them. I say my works don’t look nice, because they could be better! I strive to improve!

I started taking drawing seriously when I was in fifth grade. Why? I was inspired by my friend, Fallon. She had drawn me a picture, and I had based myself off that. Ever since I’ve been improving more and more on things such as basic body anatomy, coloring, shading, and using different techniques. Even though I have improved this much to make pretty decent pieces, I can really learn more; the possibilities are endless when it comes to art.

Because of that, I’m satisfied with myself to call it an accomplishment, but not satisfied enough. To keep improving on my artistic talent is my greatest personal goal. I really hope I can become something great with this.
