Greetings, everyone

This is my drawing for the second prompt in Jake Parker's #Inktober2020/ #Inktober52.

When it comes to shadows, which we associate with darkness, opacity, mistery and fear, nothing troubles me more than politics.

Here's the process of this week's drawing:

Politicians around the world belong to a very particular species. No matter how many examples we get of their lies, crimes and corruption, they always find ways to lure followers into their traps.

Like a drawing that starts with blurry, hard to discern lines, political discourse drafts its way into people's minds as if they were a tabula rasa, as if they had not previous experience of political deception. No matter how different they sound, we know the result will be exactly the same, but like a drawing, the result always comes as a shock, as if we did not see it coming.

Hopefully, one day people will be more observant and more demanding when it comes to political discourse. Hopefuly, one day we will see beyond the figures and more towards the shadows they project.

Only then we'll see them for what they are and stop them before they are too powerful to care and we too vulnerable to act.

Great, my dear friend! You painted a reality!

Thank you

Mi estimado, la realidad que hemos vivido en venezuela y que en estos ultimos tiempos se acentuó de una forma increíble. Para decirlo de una manera más bíblica: Son lobos vestidos de oveja.

Así es. y en esta era de fake news, donde todos fabrican realidades y no se juega con las reaccciones de la gente (teniéndonos como cangrejos pa' lante y pa' 'tras) es aún más difícil desarrollar afinidades y participar de lo que pudiera generar cambios. Nadie que se respete quiere ser tonto útil, pero pareciera que por más que lo querramos evitar, terminando siendo el tonto de alguien.
