Palms carved from charcoal
Victor had always been passionate about drawing. From a young age, he would spend hours with his sketchbook, creating intricate masterpieces that amazed everyone around him. But as life took its course, Victor found himself buried in the depths of university studies, leaving little time for his beloved art.

For years, Victor put his drawing on hold. He couldn't afford distractions, with deadlines to meet and exams to study for. Though his heart longed to pick up a pencil and let his creativity flow, the demands of university life took precedence.

But just recently, as the weight of his coursework lifted momentarily, Victor found himself with a precious pocket of free time. It was a rare opportunity, and he decided to do something he had been yearning for since forever – draw.

Setting up his workspace in a cozy corner of his room, Victor grabbed his sketchbook and pencils. As he gently pressed the pencil against the pristine white paper, a sense of tranquility washed over him. It felt like reuniting with a long-lost friend.

Hours turned into days as Victor poured his heart and soul onto the page. His drawing came alive with every stroke, each line telling a unique story. He allowed his imagination to guide him, exploring new techniques and experimenting with colors he had never used before.

Finally, when the drawing was complete, Victor marveled at the outcome. It was a true testament to his growth as an artist. The piece exuded a sense of mastery, its every detail captivating and compelling. Excited to share his creation with the world, Victor decided to take a photograph and upload it on an online sales platform.

Expecting little, if any, reaction, Victor was blown away by what happened next. Within minutes of posting the picture, his inbox began to flood with notifications. He couldn't believe his eyes. Hundreds of bids poured in, and people were offering staggering sums of money for his drawing. Thousands of dollars, all for a piece of his art.

Victor's jaw dropped in shock and amazement. The response was overwhelming, far beyond anything he could have dreamed of. As he read through the countless messages and inquiries, his heart swelled with joy. People from around the world recognized the immense talent and unique beauty of his work.

It was in that moment that Victor realized the immense power of his art. It had the ability to touch the hearts and souls of others, transcending time and distance. Something that he once considered merely a hobby had now become a source of inspiration and wonder to people he had never even met.

Overwhelmed by the incredible demand, Victor carefully considered the bids and responses. He wanted to ensure that his drawing ended up in the hands of someone who truly appreciated it. After careful consideration and negotiations, he chose a buyer whose passion for his artwork shone through their words.

As Victor packaged the drawing, he couldn't help but reflect on the journey that brought him to this point. Life had taken him on a detour, putting his passion on hold.
