Ganesha & the color blind

My first assignment/art project in my Graphic Design class. I have this short attention span syndrome! I had to literally finish this article my getting distracted may be a hundred times.

I chose Ganesha as my first art project because he is supposed to be destroyed of all obstacles. Thankfully it worked I guess.

I have always been bad at drawing. While in school I couldn’t recognize colors and didn’t realize I was partially colorblind until adulthood. So this was more about facing my fears of failure to draw well and overcoming the laughs.

I was always made fun of, when people asked me to hand me that brown crayon or that brick red crayon whatever.

First reaction, what is this color ? It is not in my dictionary! Maybe this looks more like it.

What is taking you so long ? Can’t you recognize colors ? … And then run away from the whole thing.
