Description
Prismacolor PencilsThis picture was a complete joy to create! I\'ve been trying to rediscover my pure love to draw. Over the years my passion has been diluted with vein motives and many other negative notions.
I had recently done a mental exercise focused on remembering that pure passion I had as a child. That love of just drawing for me alone. Not competing; not working toward a career. Well the exercise was a really poignant experience for me.
Not only that, but I have several musician friends who just create and create, day after day. They\'re so driven in what they do. It\'s that kind of drive that only comes from a real love for what you\'re doing. Observing this passion in them inspired me.
Well I\'m going to cutoff this self indulging ramble.
Thanks for viewing my art.

wow!
I've been trying to break free of creating negatively driven art for quite some time now.
It's inspirational that you actually achieved that, I think I'm going to attack the materials I have left now
Thanks heaps! I think I needed to hear that someone else went through that and came out on top
and ps.. does this mean I'll be seeing a lot more of you work in the near future?

Damn I hope so... and thanks a ton for caring!!!
It's an amazingly tough battle. All these negative thoughts about what mediums/techniques I should tackle were burdening me. I eventually just set those ideas aside and decided to revert to what I was good at. So, basically, instead of tackling the difficult I went with the easy. That's ok though. It's more important to just get the ball rolling again.
Now all that was purely personal and it might not even be the same way for you, but hopefully that helps more.
I do have more art, but I was deliberating posting it. More unfinished pieces. haha
Guess I should just post it. It's not like the people who watch me aren't used to my lack of backgrounds. Thanks for the support. It probably means more to me than you know.

lol@the "self-scrapped-art" - I have a fair amount of it, and started to upload it, but stopped because I was incredibly critical of my own works, despite receiving favs and comments confirming that I'm crazy to think so.
But yeah, due to the pretty recent events, I was actually able to sit down and paint, and fade off into my creative space, which was really awesome to do.. even though the result wasn't all that great.
And I think your work actually looks pretty good without backgrounds, half the time I don't even notice, I'm pretty bedazzled by your aibilty to convey such creatures with justice
