Lets see, I started when I was like 4 and just practiced. I guess going to a drawing camp kinda thing helped to. I signed up for Anime/Cartoon/Comic class. It was Fun.

This is perhaps the greatest compliment I have ever recieved. I would like to thank you. First off, always remember to always put a little of your style in your pictures. I know the first couple will look out of place but its a working ladder. It took me 8 years to draw like this and I see a lot of people who post pics that draw like I used to. Don't EVER copy from pictures, its not that your hand is going to fall off, it will hurt your drawing ability and cause you to draw like everyone else. The thing is that you'll end up being like everyone else. If you want to be a REAL artist and release art that is special to only you and that no one can dublicate, then keep drawing. I do not have a natural talent, I worked hard... very hard to get to the ability that I am at right now. THIS IS A SHOUT OUT TO ALL THAT DON'T HAVE TALENT... I DID IT, SO CAN YOU!!!!!!!

First...THANKS!!!!! I love compliments!!!XD Anyway...I used to draw, then I stopped for like wht was it...5 years, and then I got bored, dragged out the old sketchbook, and drew!!! I can usually get stuff done in a couple hours...but I have one thing to say...DON'T EVER USE THOSE LEARN HOW TO DRAW MANGA BOOKS!!!!! That's what everyone looks at in my school, except this one kid, and I'm so sick of seeing EVERTHING look the SAME!!!! IT PISSES ME OFF!!!!! So yeah...Saraquael's right...develop your own style...and don't learn from a book!!!!!

I used to own those kind of books were you would like make the circles frist and stuff, accutally it really helped me because i do something like that when i am using a graphic art program were I draw the figure on the computer. I am almost done one and cant wait to show you all.

Well, what I meant is don't base your whole style off the book...yep.

Thanks for the compliment, even though you've probably never heard of me, but thats ok. I started to draw when I new how to use a crayon, lol. Which was pretty young. But like Drakkon said, "its a working ladder", you just have to keep trying and trying until you feel like you've accomplished your goal. Me, it took me 5 years to draw like I do, and people love me work. When they ask me how I draw like this I just tell them it's all practice. Even writing Anime books takes practice and creativity. Again like Drakkon said, "release art that is special to and only you that no one can duplicate" I have live by words like those and I think you should too. It will prove that you have a special ability that is just waiting to get out, so by sayng this try your best and never give up. Promise me that, ok?
