I feel airy because my head has nothing inside. Much like this rabbit, waiting for its head to dry...

Argh... i have to unlearn everything and relearn the Chinese way of drawing still life: no smudging. That makes every object look as if its carved out from marble and an apple looks like a skinned one with chunks of the flesh removed. I absolutely hate that method of drawing! Why cant i adopt my own method?! i think i can finally understand why generations of artists have rebelled against their masters--- they want to create their own style. Do i really have to conform to that method of drawing??? I dont understand. I dont want to draw like how a chinese art student draws. It's all too rigid!
