"Today was Capybara Day? I wish I'd have known earlier; I would have gotten started sooner and would have gotten my capybara pic finished on time!" I muttered quietly while adding the last touches to my pencil drawing.
"What're you talking about?" the bird in the sketch seemed to quip; "you're just learning to draw animals, aren't you? You didn't know two days ago how to draw a capybara!"
True. I'd practiced drawing birds in the online Drawing Lessons, but that didn't show me how to draw capybaras. Then, in Lesson 2, I'd had to draw quite a few horses and human figures...but again, no capybaras.
But an empty spot of 14 mins.' Timed Drawings had been made up by sketching guinea pigs. Today, I saw a video explaining how the capybara was a relative of the guinea pig. (If you think about it, the capybara is a giant guinea pig!) Doesn't that mean even while I was doing the timed sketches, and completely unaware of what I was going to be doing today, God was preparing me for it by having me draw guinea pigs?
