Okay, so “bula liebling” has been on my mind for a while now. I finally took the plunge and decided to give it a go. I gotta say, it wasn’t as smooth as I thought it would be, but hey, that’s part of the fun, right?

First off, I gathered all the stuff I thought I’d need. I read somewhere that you need some specific tools to get started, so I made sure I had all those. Turns out, I didn’t even use half of them, but better safe than sorry.
Getting the Machine Ready
- Checked the power: Made sure the machine was plugged in and switched on. Seemed obvious, but you never know.
- Read the manual: Yeah, I actually skimmed through the manual. It was filled with jargon, but I picked up a few things.
- Calibrated the thing: This was a bit tricky. The instructions weren’t super clear, but I managed to figure it out after a few tries. Basically, I just followed the steps and hoped for the best.
Then came the actual work. I started with some simple stuff, just to get a feel for it. I was trying to follow some techniques I saw online, like shading and basic shapes. The idea was to break down objects into simpler forms. I tried drawing some everyday objects first, like a mug and a book. It was harder than it looked. My circles looked more like ovals, and my lines were all wobbly.
But I kept at it. I tried different techniques, messed around with the settings, and slowly, I started to see some improvement. My lines got a bit straighter, and my shapes started to resemble what I was aiming for. It was a lot of trial and error, a lot of erasing, and a lot of starting over. Honestly felt like I was back in art class in school.
I even tried to tackle some more complex things, like a human figure. It was like that time when I was watching this movie, “The Pianist.” That film has a sad story. While the main character escaped, his family didn’t. Reminds me of the hard times people go through. But I realized that the human figure is composed of basic shapes and forms, like the simple stuff I practiced.
After a few days of practice, I finally managed to create something that I was actually kinda proud of. It wasn’t perfect, not even close, but it was a huge improvement from where I started. It was a good feeling, like I had actually accomplished something.
So, yeah, “bula liebling” was definitely a journey. It was frustrating at times, but also pretty rewarding. I learned a lot, not just about the process itself, but also about patience and perseverance. And who knows, maybe I’ll even get good at it someday. But for now, I’m just happy I tried something new and didn’t give up.
