I love all your artwork! Its sooo good! I wish i couuld draw 1/2 as good.
Pity about your depression... but if you ever tried to sell your existing artwork it would be sold for loads as you dont draw anymore....right? Why would it sell for loads just cause I don't draw? When I did put my artwork up for sale at shows it was never bought... so, why would I do it now? These aren't very good anyway... But thanks...

I think think that ur art is very unique and i hope u will consider picking it back up.......I will keep checking to see if u do so.. ----love a person who enjoys ur work Actually, as we speak, I have a piece of paper in front of me with the beginnings of a mermaid with betta fins... I'm not even sure. I haven't drawn in so many months (year and a half I'm thinking) This feels so strange... and I've forgotten a lot of things I used to know, it's been very hard so far. But thank you

Wow...*points below* some people have some serious issues. I hope you don't take any of that too close to heart. Of course I say that and I know that it would upset me, too. It burns me too that I haven't drawn as often as I used to. I often find that my mood affects me a little too often and everything I draw is crap. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother sharing it with other people.

And of course, life is often unkind enough to back every negative aspect of being. I suppose you could say that I understand, and I sympathize. I don't want to sit here and say "Well, I'm worse than you because" or " You aren't REALLY as depressed as me" because thats all horse *expletive*. Your emotions ARE your life, and when you don't have any control of them, everything gets a little bit grey and hopeless. Keep trying, and do know that there is more to life than all the bad that surrounds you. Even if it doesn't seem like it. I am sure that talent like yours can not stay hidden forever. Don't you ever give up! -Ash

p.s. I realize this is a long comment, please delete it if you wish. I just hate to see this happen to a bright young woman like yourself. You aren't alone. Wow, that was an awfully nice comment... And thank you... I feel very... well, I'm not sure... It just, kind of uplifted my spirits... thank you very much

Hon, I would never let anything get in the way of my passion...It's a shame that it has with you...Don't let this horrible monster rule your life! Abraham Lincoln once said, "Most folks are only happy as they make up their minds to be." You have a choice, though you might not think you do. Trust me...I have struggled with this sort of thing myself, and I had to make up my mind to look on the brighter side of things. It's not easy...in fact, it's very hard sometimes, but once I got the hang of it, it made me a much stronger person. I just hope I could do the same for you...Keep your chin up and try your hardest, hun...

There is a charming simplicity to your work, you've innate talent: A keen, very natural and understated sense of composition, this is something one simply can not learn to do. Your work needs stronger delivery though; more sense of cohesion to your style. A deeper grasp of internal anatomy would also give more of a sense of solidity to your work.

These tedious things are what take the effort required to rise from simply being talented, to being truly skilled in the craft of making one's visions tangible and thus perceptable for the others' partaking.

You've the power of spirit to do it.

"I do not judge before I know, trust me. People who judge something without prior knowledge of that soemthing irritate me. I can't bring myself to form opinions on something I know nothing about."

I saw you answered to a comment about digital painting with this. Now I know you have erased all your comments which were about this subject, but I feel I should say something about it here.

You state that digital art is "simple" and that you can create effects with one push of a button. I work with Photoshop a lot myself and trust me, it is not that simple. I spend hours and hours on my pictures, as do thousands of others and when I see you say that would be done with a simple push of a button, I find that a bit offensive. If you are irritated with people stating things they know nothing about, please don't do so yourself.

Do with this comment as you please. It is not meant as a flame, I just want to point out that digital painting is not simple. You may have the option to undo stuff, but that hardly helps if you're not able to put a decent line in the first place.

Good luck with your art. First off... I -don't- delete any offensive comments. I leave ALL my comments up to be seen. And second, how do YOU know I've never dabbled in digital art? Because I have. And yes, I've seen all the "amazing" art done with Photoshop, and I still think you can aquire things with one click of a button that you would have to spend hours doing with a pencil. It may take hours and hours to do a picture on Photoshop, but there ARE STILL shortcuts that you can't take with paint or a pencil. I don't put my Photoshop art up because I stick to my opinion that's it not traditional art. Yes, it's still art, but I prefer traditional on MY page, so there will be no digital here.

Thanks so much for the comments on my page. Im trying to get back into drawing again, and they inspired me a bit. Well, me too, if it's any consolation. But in my case it would seem that once you stop, it deteriorates rather quickly, and my skill seems to be gone. Back to step one I fear.

Dude! I dun get it... I was trying to work out the age diff between you and me... you said you were in yr 8 which means your 1 yr older in 2001, but yr 11 in 2003... did you skip a year or sommit?

hey, I don't believe in love anymore either!!! I find that it just makes me really depressed. Its nice to know that I'm not alone.. ^-^

nice gallery =) I really like your work =D
