There's no date or time! Grr. This is a pet peeve of mine when it comes to layouts. I like seeing the date so I can be up-to-date.

More on that another time...

I realized my mind has become deadbeat and I decided to start posting a few of my drawings soon. This is something that very few people know about me -- my hobby for drawing. When I was younger, it started out as replicas. I would have a Pokemon card beside me as reference and I would simply try to replicate the picture. I did this with various other characters such as Card Captors, Digimon, and video game casts. I went on a hiatus from drawing for a couple years, and when I tried to revisit this skill with the usual characters I would draw, I found that I no longer had interest in them. And so, I began exploring my interests musically and ~film-sically~. I started drawing real people; actors, models, etc. I even had a bit of interior designing and landscaping as my approach in drawing. Those interests soon faded once again, and nowadays I find myself compelled to draw clothing (fashion). I try not to force it too much and usually only draw when I have an epiphany (I wouldn't entirely call it an epiphany though, as most of the pieces are in stores or inspired). And that's my story!

Why am I revealing my drawings here rather than to my friends or family or dA?
I simply feel more comfortable showing my artistic ability (if I can even call it that) here. Also, I don't have much confidence in my drawings because I am surrounded by way more talented people. I also try to draw realistically, but I have no experience in shading or proportions, so the figures tend to turn out very 2-d and borderline anime/cartoon. Being a new face in the blogosphere as well, I probably don't have anyone watching so it's more like I am talking to myself. (lol)

Do I color my drawings?
Big fat No.. I drew Harpies' Brother once and had the right colors chosen but never got around to finishing the product. I can barely shade, so I doubt I would be able to pick out colors wisely and color accordingly.

Have I ever publicly posted my drawings elsewhere?
Yes. Once upon a time, I played GaiaOnline and commissioned art for free or gold (currency used on the site). They were not my best stage of drawing, I admit, but it was good practice. I can't show any because I had uploaded them all via tinypic and it has been years, so they're gone now.

How much have I drawn up to date?
I have a big fat 2"-binder full right now. 2010 was a good year for my ~artistic mind~ and my brain is honestly a bit sapped of new ideas, but I hope it will be just as successful this year.

What so I usually draw with and on?
I draw with a lead pencil because I can't and don't want to afford an artsy pencil or liner. I draw on the blank backs of recycled paper.. As long as my recycled paper doesn't deplete, I will probably keep drawing.


Anywho, I think that is enough self-questions for today. I feel pathetic for not having anyone other than myself ask the questions, but what can I do? By the way.. I wish to stay as positive as possible with an optimistic outlook on this blog. There will be times when I become whiny and ranty, but I will try my best.
