Now the complete quote “The pen is mightier than the sword, but the tongue is mightier than them both put together,” is from Marcus Garvey, a famous Jamaican political activist.

Now, much like my incompetence in making jokes to capture your attention, in a similar self-deprecating fashion, I like to view myself similarly unskilled when it comes to a particular subject I am passionate about, drawing. The topic of drawing conjures different immediate conceptions across individuals. Some intuitively im
