Draw Winky

For my first illustration I went for the gold standard: Draw Winky!
Can you draw Winky?
Well, can you punk?!

    When I was a kid around 10 or 11 years-old I thought that I might become and artist. I saw a matchbook with a pencil drawing of a cute deer. On the cover of the matchbook was the words, “Draw Winky”. I thought, “Yeah, I can do that!” Inside was an application whereby I would be able to earn a scholarship to this “art school” if my sketch was good enough. I sent in my drawing in hopes of getting the scholarship to the art school. A few weeks later I got back a reply with a letter explaining that I did not get the scholarship that I could improve my drawing skills by taking classes from them. I didn’t have the money to take classes so I just figured my art career would have to wait. A few months later I saw a similar offer where I could win a scholarship if I was able to draw “The Pirate”. After much practice I sent in my entry with hopes that this time my art work was acceptable to win free lessons from the art school. A few weeks later I received a reply from the art school. The letter was straight to the point and explained, “We do NOT accept photocopies.” Wow, I figured if I was THAT good at drawing maybe I didn’t need art lessons after all.

    I did get a scholarship when I sent in my “Winky”. I figured everyone got one so I never did anything. I’m teaching art now because everyone seems to think I can. Little do they know.
