Personal affection, pure and disinterested, shared with another person which is born and strengthened by the deal.

Hello! Cris here again and with lots more drawings. This week, we're talking about frienship, so let's begin!
(*hawking*)
Well, I've posted that definition of friendship above just to show how difficult it's to explain what friendship means. Do you feel happy with that descrition of the feeling? I think it's a quite correct one, but incomplete.
Apart from this one, there're other over 6,000 millions definitions. As much as people you knew. As much as people you will never know. As much as people in the world.
Nora said in her last post, friendship is NOT a single and simple feeling, it includes amounts of others within. I totally agree with this and so I'm going to try to show through drawings now.
Here we have the first one.
Do you see that people? All those photos were taken while we were gathering, or in the pool, going out at nigth, or simply, meeting to see each other and talk. And this afternoon probably weren't something extraordinary, we did not climb a mountain, or went to the beach, but they were special anyway. Why? You can see it yourself. They're laughing, smiling, making ugly faces, or doing silly thing.
They're just having fun together.
But apart from what can be seen, this drawing has a deeper meaning. It was done for my twin sister who was leaving to Madrid. Obviously, something special had to be done before she left, so on thursday, I talked to all these people and I told them to make something next Saturday. They all already had a plan.
The most important thing of this drawing is that shows a kind of friendship that never leave you out nor down and that will always steal you a smile at once.
They all struggled their mind and opened their schedules to be able to meet. To have their last meal with my sister. To make her feel she got us here no matter what.
Friends are there for you , for whatever think you want, and even if they don't have a confort word, they have a strong embrace ready.
Following, I found this drawing, made like 5 years ago to decorate a notebook.
You can see a girl conforting an other. Some times in life, you find some one who seems to be similar enough to understand, but also different enough to never get bored of . That's the kind of friendship I'm thinking about watching this.
None is telling a thing, but they are understanding what the other need. That, wordless friendship is something every one should have at least once.
As third drawing, I've decided to show one of Nora.(Obviously,she's not my classmate who posted last Friday)
The kind of friendship I see here, even if a little different, is not worse at all. To explain it somehow,let's say it's like become the friend of your childhood's superhero after discovering is just as human as you, but still great.
When I first saw the original photo, I suddely knew I had to draw it. I truly wanted to catch the essence, and, I have to confess, I needed 3 goes before doing this one.
She was in the photo exactly the way I see her. Always with a smile for me even when she has to tell you that I was mistaken.
It is kind of a challenge for me to explain this, because it's not only what she is, it's what she makes out of me. You ALWAYS feel great after talking a while with a person like her in a friendship like this.
Just imagine your superhero believes you can someday be a superhero too and that it gives you strengh to try, to be better. That's what this kind of friendship is about; Getting better all the time. You can be afraid, you can have fears, fail, success, but always alongside the other.
And last, but not least. This Drawing, specially done for this week's post and feeling.
This is like our third week here in college? We all knew each other lfor less than a month now and here we are, working all together. Talking about our blogs, taking decisions together, trying to learn more together. So this is why, these awesome people is on my post today, for being part of that kind of friendship that helps you dealing day to day, and keep learning.
So I'm sorry if there's no famous people, or films appearing this week on my post, but drawing for me is not just taking a pen and trying to make my work as similar as I can to the original photograph. Drawing is not copying. So while talking about friendship you cannot draw a guy you dont really know, maybe a picture of him with a friend? But it would still feel something coming from outside.
I draw faces, I work them out, I create...I recreate friendship from those magic moments I've shared with them and I show who they are, what they mean to me through the expressions they got in the original photograph, on their gestures, on my memory.
Well, that's enough fot this week isn't it?Let's see what awaits us next monday starting our second university month.
