🇺🇸 ~ If I could master a skill perfectly in just one night, it would be drawing—but drawing well, with all that entails academically, as if I had studied fine arts and specialized in illustration or drawing.
When I was younger, I dreamed of a career as an artist, of illustrating novels, of creating comics; I also liked painting pictures with Chinese ink and making posters with acrylic paint. I even painted a couple of murals, and I also designed the cover of a book in collaboration with a literature project at my school.
Some people who knew me back then encouraged me a lot, and would say I drew quite well. I think I was just a girl with a lot of dreams, as we all are at that age, during those years of transition into adulthood.
I think my skills were very basic, and now that I know real artists—“true artists” in both form and substance—university professors or professional visual artists who submit works to exhibitions across the country and create genuine marvels, you realize how small you always were, that you barely scratched the surface.
Seeing up close how “real art” is born transforms you; it makes you understand the scope of the world you once wanted to enter. And honestly, it doesn’t feel bad—quite the opposite.

🇪🇸 ~ Si pudiera aprender perfectamente una habilidad en una sola noche, sería dibujar, pero dibujar bien, con todo lo que implica académicamente, como si hubiera estudiado la carrera de Artes Plásticas y me hubiera especializado en ilustración o dibujo.Cuando era mas joven soñaba con una carrera como artista, con ilustrar novelas, con crear cómics, también me gustaba pintar cuadros con tinta china y hacer posters con pintura acrílica, incluso llegué a pintar un par de murales, y también hice la portada de un libro en colaboración con un proyecto de literatura de mi colegio.
Algunas personas que me conocieron en ese tiempo me animaron mucho, y dirían que dibujaba bastante bien, yo creo que era solo una niña con muchos sueños, como lo somos todos a esas edad, durante esos años de transición hacia la adultez.
Creo que mis habilidades fueron muy básicas, y actualmente conociendo a artistas reales, "artistas de verdad" de forma y fondo, maestros universitarios o artistas plásticos de profesión que envían obras a participar de exposiciones en diferentes partes del país y hacen autenticas maravillas, te das cuenta de lo pequeña que siempre fuiste, de que apenas llegaste a rascar la superficie.
Ver de cerca cómo nace el "arte de verdad" te transforma, te hace entender la dimensión del mundo donde quisiste alguna vez incursionar. Y sinceramente, no se siente mal, todo lo contrario.

✦ Last week, I was able to stop by a friend's makeshift workshop for a moment ✦
✦ It's always amazing to see the first stages of his work ✦
✦ At every stage, you can see just how much knowledge and understanding he has of what he does ✦
✦ His talent is downright intimidating—but in the best possible way ✦

If I could magically learn a skill overnight, it would be how to create good art—mastering techniques, using materials correctly, and figuring out how to approach a subject in a way that feels alive and coherent. I’d like to make art my livelihood and for that to be enough.
I’d love to have my own studio—nothing too fancy or specialized, just a quiet, spacious place where I can create and then send those pieces to different galleries, or why not, display them on my own website for sale.

Si pudiera aprender mágicamente una habilidad en una sola noche, sería saber el cómo hacer buen arte, asimilar técnicas, el uso correcto de los materiales, cómo plantear un tema y hacerlo de forma viva y coherente, me gustaría hacer del arte mi medio para vivir y que eso fuera suficiente.Amaría tener mi propio taller, nada demasiado fancy o especializado, solo un lugar tranquilo y espacioso donde pueda crear y después enviar esas obras a distintas galerías o por qué no, exhibirlas en mi propia web para la venta.

✦ He also had some finished pieces; some were commissions, while others were made to be sent to other cities for exhibitions ✦
Creating great art and making a living from it is a dream that seems very far off. I know it’s not impossible, but it’s clear that you need knowledge, a lot of practice, and much more study to become a good artist. Whether or not you’re born with natural talent, study is essential—and that takes years.
Sometimes I think about it seriously: What if I drop everything, start over, and throw myself into studying art from scratch? But one can dream, and if I could learn something overnight, I’d choose this... And even so! It’s an idea I haven’t completely abandoned; after all, I can practice and do a few sketches at night when all the noise and hustle and bustle of the day are over. That’s a good reason to stay up late, too.

Hacer buen arte y vivir del arte es un sueño que se ve muy lejano, se que no es imposible pero es claro que necesitas conocimientos, mucha practica y mucho mas estudio para ser un buen artista, nazcas o no con talento natural el estudio es imprescindible y eso toma años.A veces lo pienso seriamente, ¿qué pasa si dejo todo, si reinicio todo y me lanzo a estudiar arte desde cero?, pero se puede soñar, y en el supuesto de poder aprender algo de un día para otro yo escogería este... ¡y aún así!, es una idea que no he abandonado del todo, después de todo puedo practicar, y hacer unos cuantos bocetos de noche cuando todo el ruido y carreras propias del día han terminado. Esa es una buena razón para desvelarse también.

✦ I've sometimes thought about asking him about drawing and painting classes, but I feel shy—he's a very busy person ✦

Esta es mi participación para el Midnight Letters Prompt #22 de la comunidad Midnight Letters; cada semana aproximadamente en la media noche del domingo anuncian nuevo tema, es bastante curioso.
This is my entry for the Midnight Letters Prompt #22 from the Midnight Letters community; every week, around midnight on Sunday, they announce a new topic—it’s pretty interesting.
