[PHOTO] Ko Kyung-pyo: When I'm having a tough time, I feel better after drawing

Ko Kyung-pyo [Lee Jin-hyuk/10Asia]

"I've never taken drawing lessons but I like to draw or watch art exhibitions. I don't know anything professionally but I just like to deliver what I feel after looking at pictures by famous artists. But a lot of people say that my drawings are depressing. And it's true. Strangely, I don't want to draw cheerful pictures nor can I complete them. Because I draw one everytime that I'm having a hard time. And during those times, all I can think of are such drawings. I need to complete them to rid myself of depressing emotions and not think of them when I close my eyes. There are times that I feel like I won't be able to bear not drawing such pictures. But I haven't drawn such pictures the past month or so because I'm not having as hard of a time psychologically."※ Any copying, republication or redistribution of 10Asia's content is expressly prohibited without prior consent of 10Asia.
