What I would rather like to know how to do better is draw really well. A insturment is a wonderful thing to do its just that i already know how to play it good. I love to draw tho that is my most favorite thing to do. I already think i draw pretty good but i wanna be the best.

I really know how to draw really because if I knew how to draw well then maybe I could express my feelings that way instead of letting everything build up inside. This is why I rather know how to draw than play an instrument.

I would rather know how to draw well than play an instrument well. Playing an insturument would be fun, but I think daw is way more fun. When you draw you can express yourself while you draw. While drawing you can draw anything that comes to mind.

If I had to choice between drawing well or playing an instrument well, I would pick an instrument. I already know how to draw well so why would I pick drawing? Instruments are cool to play and i might get something that talent. So I would pick to play an instrument well. I also enjoy music and I could play to myself or family and I would really enjoy that!
