Hey guys

Its been a long while since  i have updated my journal, and that is because ... i would like to say that life has been busy (which is half the truth), but i would be half lying. I have been neglectful of my artwork, procrastinating and feeling bad because i look up to great artists and i feel so down whenever i look at their art. I keep hitting myself with a hammer (metaphorically), putting myself down and feeling like im never gonna get there but ... Many people like the kind of work that i can make, as simple as it is and as inferior it maybe to the artists that i look up to. This means something ... This means that i am not a bad artist, and that i am getting better. I believe in progression, and that the only way to go is up.

So i decided to change my attitude about my art. I am putting in more time to do more work, and this will lead to a more efficient progression, which will make a better artist out of me.

Wow ...

Just, wow ...

The overwhelming response to My latest Sona art piece has really taken me by surprise. The fact that so many people would like something that i have made on such short notice is in itself a miracle in my point of view xD.

I don't know how to put this feeling into words but i am so motivated now, so inspired to do more, and above all, i am extremely grateful to all of you who loved this art piece as well as all of you who knew me through this art piece.

I hope to make more Art that is to your liking in the future

Thank you ...

I feel kind of depressed that i am not capable of drawing characters completely from scratch using the tablet, i experimented and i wasn't too happy with the results ... le sigh, i don't know what to do. The only thing i seem to be able to do with it is draw abstract faces and color things ... i feel disappointed with my self

My god ... it has been so long since the last time i updated the journal.

Well ... i always start with that, but then again it is the first thought that passed through my mind.

First major update, i got a drawing tablet and its been a BLESSING so far, i have already made a few submissions using it ... didn't think i would on such short notice

Doesn't mean that i forgot about the pencil drawings !!! i submitted SOME of the better works that i made during my absence from DA, i hope you guys like them

Life has been a roller coaster ride with many ups and downs, but you somehow manage through , got one more semester and then i am done with university

Greetings everybody , i sincerely hope that life is treating you well.

I have been on and off with art since my last submission, I decided to redraw every single character i have designed and maybe create some new designs as well. I will be submitting them as soon as i scan them.

But i have a problem ... I feel that im playing my art too safe and i need to be more courageous with what i do, I DO NOT KNOW HOW ! i don't want to draw something that sucks, but i don't want to be predictable ... because i feel that i already have a signature style, but now i need to break my box.

please ... ANY suggestion is welcome.

thanks in advance.
