Kerrin POV:-
-------------------"Bendy come on, we've been through this already" I groaned impatiently. Bendy reached to the point he would not listen at all.
"I got this! just let me try." He stressed a smile while, pressing on the paper with the pencil I gave him to the point he broke its tip.
"This is your seventh time by now, can you at least loosen up your hand and relax? I told you that you can't draw Boris! it's too much for you as your first time!" I tried to convince him, the only thing he wants to draw is Boris and Boris alone. He defied my instructions and kept on failing and wasting more papers due to his frustrations!
"Oh yeah? well I don't want to draw myself!" He nagged me, since I kept telling him to draw his figure because he's more simple and small.
"Patience Bendy, you need to be patience and start with something small before you aim bigger figures." I tried to sound convincing, that's how I started actually. Smaller lines, bigger and farther so on. But he took it offending. "Oh so now I'm too small for this huh?!" He leered at me.
"y-you know what I mean!" I said, my hand brushing my face. It's worst than him teaching me piano.
"That's it, I'm going back to the ink pool and we will see who's the smaller now" he hissed, throwing the pencil back. I pulled his shoulder and tried to calm him down "We are not finished yet, you just need to keep practicing," he paused on his spot, still frowning "I believe in you, just like you believed in me! it can't be that bad." With encouraging words, he started to have a second thought. This scene kinda took me back to one if my bad memories.
There was this girl who was interested in learning art. I was excited when she approached me while giving me compliments to my work. I later found out that she wants to learn from me. She said becoming an artist is all what she ever wants to be. At first, I was beamed and excited. To have someone who share same interests and to instruct and teach someone! It feels great.
Only if things worked the way you wishes it to be, life would be much easier. 'This new girl' whose name is Jessica was so impatient and rude. Not only was she nagging about how she's not doing well, she blamed me for my useless instructions. Later on, I found out that she was trying to catch her crush attention to look cool around him. Made me feel sick and leave her be.
Bendy, on the other hand didn't blame my way of teaching him. He was honest and straightforward. He lacked patience but he has potential. He kept repeating even when he messed up his sketching over and over.
Funny thing, it's actually me who is being impatient with him. Yelling at him and force him to do it the way I want. What if I'm doing it wrong?
I mean, the first time I tried to paint something, is something that I love. My father, me and mother together. Step by step I expanded my imaginations and things that surrounds me. So I asked Bendy "Say Bendy.. why do you want to draw? is there a reason for you to learn or just something you want to do now?"Bendy was ignoring me for a moment, averting himself to look at me "well.. no, I really wish to draw like any other artist. It looks fun." He said, lowering his tone "you look like you are having lots of fun when you drew me last time.. so I wanted to give it a try. It's pretty frustrating when I make mistakes but I can feel that I'm getting better than my previous time!" he added. I smiled, it is as he said. I nodded few times. He turned to look at me with a worried expression that I couldn't comprehend "Am I.. not allowed to draw?" he asked.
"Of course not," I replied immediately with a scoff "everyone can draw if they want to, I don't see reason why not?" I said. My answer made him feel relieve but I was curious "Why would you think that anyway?"
"Umm.. about that. Let's say very very long time the creator was pretty tensed when Henry left."
"My father?"
"Yea, so I thought maybe I could work in Henry's position and make him happy.. buuuuut" he half shrugged "it didn't go well. He laughed at me and even told me not to even try or think about it because..." Bendy sighed as he looked down. I shuffled next to him, holding his shoulder. "He said we are not meant to draw, it's not our work. It's their job to animate and all but it isn't for us." he muttered. Looking at him like that, sad and cute at the same time. I couldn't help but to giggle, he wasn't happy about it "what's so funny?!" he hissed.
"I thought you were more stubborn than that. That's what my father said? He is wrong and I'm just confused why would you listen to him." I responded. He tilts his head in wonder, thinking and then he smiled modestly looking like convinced. But I wasn't done yet.
"Bendy listen, no one is allowed to tell you what you should do and what not. If you want to just do so. I stopped going to school because I don't want to and because I want to draw more and more because this is what I truly want," I pulled a chair close to mine and gestured Bendy to sit and listen "There are a lot of process to do in order to proceed and it will take long time to define your own artistic way," I pointed him to wait while I flipped the pages of my sketchbook to show him my characters I made "Is my art similar to whoever was working here Bendy?" I questioned him. He shook his face two times "No, yours are far different. But I like what you do, they are full of life."
"They are part of me, part of my imaginations. I care for what I draw and love my work too. This is where my father is wrong about too. And you know what? you should draw Boris! What do you say we start with his face?" I encouraged him with my idea, it didn't take a second without him beaming "seriously!"
"Yeah seriously! try to draw his front face starting from his ears." I suggested to him. If it would motivate him to do his best it would be that way I thought. Without a second thought, he flipped the book to a new blank paper and stared to sketch right away.
"Before you start, just remember. When you want to sketch something you have to picture it first in your mind. After that you move the picture in your art to materialize it and make it real."
"Like copying it from my head?"
"Bingo!"
"Aight then! I'll give it a try!" he proceeded. With my support and guidance all the way and a few repetition added with flavor of encouragement. His hands are finally got adjusted to sketching movement making a neat looking Boris front face.
"Kerrin... I... I did it!!" He stuttered unbelievably to his results. He was way satisfied with his little achievement, and I was pleased to his work as well.
"What do you know... not shabby at all Bendy!" I said, with a sarcastic tone. He chuckled and held his paper with a proud smile "so, how long would it take me to complete his body? Can you teach me to animate him too? Can we like do it now?!" question after the other, I reached my hand to the back of my neck believing that he doesn't really understand the time he needs. As they say, a watched pot never boils.
"Let's see.. if we want you to finish Boris's body you need two to three days and the animating thing requires you to learn the body movements of Boris inch by inch with many more papers and that's umm... needs more than a month."
"M-months?!"
"Yep! You will nail it perfectly too!" I faked a smile and excitement while he was counting his four fingers how long is that.
"Ahhh you know what Kerrin? I think I should leave this to artists like you" he gave up, pointing at me with both of his hands. That made me laugh to how honest he is "but I still want to be able to draw properly!" he added.
Well what do you know... this cheeky demon has guts!
"As I said before, I don't mind you little demon."
"Who ya callin little?!"
