I'm self taught when it comes to drawing, and although I may not know exactly what I'm doing half the time, it's been my favorite thing to do since I was old enough to ruin my Mom's recipes with my scribbles. Since then I've moved on from random recipes, and learned and improved a lot over the years. I've found out that having this as "just a hobby" isn't enough for me; I dream of becoming a professional one day. Until then, I hope that I'll never stop learning and always keep improving. I know there will always be something I can do better.

And then... there was Twitter, of course: [link]

So I haven't had the time to draw anything lately, but I've been crazy busy. It's an annoying feeling, WANTING to draw something but at the same time it's just so...care.

First of my all my Mom had to spend a week at the hospital because of a brain hemorrhage, which is definitely scary business. Luckily, it was mild and only affected her speech. And she's almost back to normal on that area now too, thank God.

Secondly, my Dad had his 60th birthday party and the preparations for it was a bitch. Being a hostess was a handful too. The last thing I drew was a birthday card for him - not my best work but it impressed everyone, so I'm happy.

So I've had a thousand things on my plate and they needed to be done before I could sit down with a drawing anyway - and when I have the time I'm usually too tired to even think of something. I can feel my fingers itch though, which is a good sign. Superman's been diving in and out of my mind lately. Other vague things have crossed it. I also watched all eight episodes of David Lynch's "Rabbits" the other night, and it would be fun to just draw something nice and simple "Rabbits"-ish. I don't know where to start yet.

I've also received the brochures from the art schools I've had my eyes on, so now I have some serious deciding to do. Looking forward to that ^^

Not much tbh :p How are you? I saw you've put up some new awesome shots!
:icondevilkhan:
I have seen many an artist who have been taught but I find it hard to hear that you have only been self-taught.

I must say from those pictures I have seen you are really a great drawer and you have yet to be in an art school. You are gifted and all I can say is don't stop dreaming...
:iconcyanidecherries:
Well, it's true ^^ Schools here never had the greatest offers when it came to art, which is sad. Luckily, the standards have changed with time. I'll probably be in art school next year (if nothing unexpected happens before that so I get there sooner), and that's gonna be exciting ^^ Thanks for the compliments though, I really appreciate it =)
