This was one of my first times drawing a semi-realistic drawing with real subjects. After finishing it, it's safe to say I'm very proud of it, hence the title. However, that isn't the only thing that pride ties into - I'm proud of my friends (the subjects of the drawing) and that I was able to meet them at the start of high school, I'm proud of my artistic style, and I'm proud of being a young Vietnamese woman in this society. The vibrant depiction of friendship has feminist undertones told through my color choice and the different symbols in the background. In essence, the drawing celebrates the diversity and empowerment found in the bonds of love and support shared among friends.

I think that creativity is the ability to create original and out of the box ideas, solutions, or expressions. It involves thinking innovatively, stepping out of your comfort zone and producing something amazing and valuable.
