HI!

Yep, i'm still procastinating. sorry... Anyway, 

Remember those times you told yourself you weren't good enough? I do, and i drew.

Remember when you were convinced that you just weren't meant to be an artist?  I do, and i drew. 

Remember when you compared your art to that of seriously over skilled artists?   I do, and i drew. 

Remember when you want to give up because anatomy is just - not - working - like -it's -supposed - to - do?   I do, and i drew. 

I still do, all of these things... I look at my art and think is rubbish, but then i look at my older art. Art that now i wanna burn because i think it looks really bad. Art from my "I rule at this, phase" (yeah i had a phase like that). And i am honestly surprised on how much i've accomplished. like, art wise. I wouldn't even have dreamed of drawing Bretta like i drew her for the last update, Last month... You can do it. We all can.

Art is not a gift.

It's a dicipline.

So, YOU TAKE THAT PENCIL/TABLET/INK AND DRAW

Draw not till you are pleased, no. Draw till you can't make anatomy mistakes. 

Draw!

That's a very important thing to realize and know. I rarely draw these days since my wrist doesn't allow for it anymore, but when I do, I still think it's horrible and nothing compared to what others (much younger than me) can do. But then I also realize that it's tons better than what I did years ago, and that these people draw so much more than me TO improve and get better, while I'm just this noodle sitting around doodling every here and there lol I know what you mean. Everything in life demands practice, and if I compare my writing now to my writing three years ago, I cry on the inside because I IMPROVED SO MUCH!! Sure, my writing explodes in my face now and my word count is through the roof ALL THE TIME, but I will work on that as I progress further. Fact is, there is improvement, and therre will keep being improvement the more I write. It's one of the things that keeps me going ;) (The other thing is that I would die if I couldn't write anymore.) Your progress since 2013 is amazing, even though I have to admit I like both drawings ;) You always managed to portray emotion really well. So, yes, thank you for this, it's certainly motivation as well as inspiration to keep going! :)

I am so glad my words meant something to you. I know you feel bad about your wrist but let me tell you something. You're braver than most of us because doing what you love, even if by occasion, requires a much greater sacrifice than any of us do! So congratulations, you're one step ahead than most of us!!!! ੭•̀ω•́)੭̸*✩⁺˚ Remember you are always one step closer to reaching your potential, with every stroke you do and every word you write. I believe in you ٩(๑•◡-๑)۶❤︎
