Ooo, I don't think I had as nice lines in what I did when I was newly fourteen! Keep up the good work! However, I must admit that your self-portrait is my absolute favourite so far..

Ali Beattie replies: "lol Why thank you!"

I love your self portrait Ali! I think it's so you! =D! lol I can imagine you looking like that sometimes when Kris pisses you off....::clicks her tongue!:: lol ya know what I mean! All your drawings are amazing! I REALLY like the fire fairy. She's really cool...draw the other two signs! You have earth and wind...how about fire and water now! Put all your other pictures up! I want to see all of them!!!!! =D!!!!!!!!! Bye Ali

Ali Beattie replies: "You're right!!! lmao I DO look like that when Kris pisses me off. Or worse. Muahahaha! I knew you'd like the faerie and I AM going to put up the other two...but I have to think up some cool colors and poses. Can't wait for the weekend ^_-! heeeee! Oh wait! It is! See how out of it I am?"

Hey Ali, as always I have nothing but wonderful comments. You're artwork is very good. You seem to have a natural ability if you can draw like that without taking a single class. You have a nack for begin able to have a certain flowiness in your drawing...it's a balance and blends in well together..and your use of color is just the right amount. I think that's about enough comments without blowing up any type of ego you may be forming with all the praises lol.

Ali Beattie replies: "You know I rock. lol and yes! My ego is already blown up. But as you know, my sanity imploded long ago. I'm glad you like my stuff! Thanks for coming! HAIL THE PUMPKIN KING! ::insane laughter::"

You have great potential, and already are quite an artist. Just do me a favor when you go to art class in high school. If your teacher touches you art, I'm mean like tries adding their own touch to it. Don't let them. My old teacher in high school couldn't draw a stick figure, but insisted on trying to tell the artist what their intentions where on their pieces of art. I still can't understand stand till this day why he was an art teacher, but I warn you their are many of those types out their. Because of that bleepin bleeper I have never really had an art class either. I been wanting to go to college for art, but scared I might run into another dilhole like him. So Please be careful about who you let help you, it could be damaging.

Ali Beattie replies: "Wow...thank you for the advice. I'm sorry to hear about your experience... I have already met my art teacher, so I know she's very nice and supportive. But through my whole life now...I will remember your advice. Again, thank you."

Alexandra, what a nice name and what a nice gallery you've got set up here! Being 14 and being "depressed" as mentioned in your bio, is in my opinion at least an oxymoron. Why? Cause you've got the whole life in front of you. Even if life sucks some times, which it surely does, your aim should always be to make people smile, even for a bit, even for one bloody second. Just try to be open-minded and optimistic. Optimism after all, is the only thing we are left with.

Your drawings have feeling. Make sure not to lose touch with your art, cause this is the most important characteristic of a true artist.

Take care, ill be looking forward for new uploads =)

Ali Beattie replies: "Wowza...hee n_n;; Thank you for the compliments and advice. I must say though, that I'm not always depressed, my friends make me happy and I try to do the same for them. I'm glad you came to my little gallery!! Thanks again."

These are some very interesting works that i have stumbled upon. Your self portrait is almost anime good job. high school art is tones of fun if you have the right teacher. you seem to have quite the hidden side, you should let it out, share it with us. I'm interested

Ali Beattie replies: "Well thanks! My self-portraitisn't really anime..but I know it looks that way. Thank you for coming and commenting!!"

Your art is sooo cool!! I love it. You can become rich by becoming an artist lol. I love the faries and elements and just all of it!! Your friend always ~me.

Ali Beattie replies: "Aww...see!! You love me. And I'm better at Tips than you. heeeheee. I doubt I'll ever get rich by my art, but thanks! I know you'll always be there for me and help me succeed! Ciao."

I think I must say this Ali, your great. I have drawn my whole life switching between types of styles of drawing. Yet, you have drawn only a few years (thats what you told me) and am better than myself. Not for long though! I'll be your competition till the day I die or when we leave high school, whichever comes first. Hopefully high school. I like your Fire Fairy the best, it has those entrancing flames in it. Keep working hard Ali, and I am not sure what else I can say. Wait, I've always wanted to tell you this, you are an amazing artist never forget that. Oh, is that self portrait from the folder?

Ali Beattie replies: "Aw thanks Jess!! I know you're going to catch up to me. You're really good! Thanks for coming and I'm glad you like my faerie! And you're correct! That's my self-portrait from my folder that I showed you in Mrs. Fox's class! =D!"

Yay, Ali!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^.^ I'm so happy for you! Anyway, I looked at the pictures and they are A-W-E-S-O-M-E! I hope that's how you spell it. Lol I love the drawings. Very, very realistic. Poor me, I can't even draw a pretty stick man. Keep up the good work, Ali!

Ali Beattie replies: "Jewels!! yay!! I'm gld you like them!! lol sorry for forcing you to come here. n_n;; thanks!!!"
