Hi guys,
Long time no see ;) Its been a while since I updated my journal entry, so I thought I'd just pop in a word (but actually, its turned out to be more than just a word, lol)
I have been kinda slack with updating my drawings, so I apologise. I have been doing quite a few drawings, so hopefully some of them will turn up on here in the near future... its just a matter of waiting for inspiration to strike (in my case).
Anways, :love: to all out there and hope to catch you in the super close future :)

Dear Journal :)

I just wanted to say that I have been on Deviantart for a long time, and it is a great place, both to share my art with other people, and meet and have other people share their art with me. It is truly spectacular that people from many different backgrounds, and places, etc can come together to share their love for art.
Everything about Deviantart is awesome, sure - sometimes I want to change a few little things, but mostly the things that I like about it outgrow the things that I want to change, and no matter how close to perfect they get, there will always be things to change.
The same goes for artwork. You may be able to draw incredible things, but people will always find something wrong with them, and you will always be able to improve them! That's the best thing about drawing and art, you can never get bored with it because you can always improve, and grow, and become greater than even you could imagine. Rewind two years, or even rewind ten years or more for some - what was your art like then? Was it terribly out of proportion? was the colouring hideous? I'm certainly embarrassed keeping my old works and looking over them, but the greatest thing is that it shows how I have improved! I still have a long way to go, and I don't think anyone ever gets to utmost perfection, but its the journey - not the destination. And I want to talk to all those people that think their art isn't good enough, hang in there! We were all at that stage at one time or another. And something else - don't throw your old artwork away because not only will you be able to look through it and (*coughlaughcough*)see how you have improved, but you will be able to show it to all the other people who are at the same stage you used to be!
Remember: Practice might not make perfect, but it gets you closer to perfection.
Over and Out.

Ramblings...

1 min read
Hi guys,
Sorry that I have been really busy with work and college - nearing the end of the two year course, so the pressure is on (and I haven't been very active for a while)! I now have my P's - how exciting! - and have had them for about six months. The freedom is great!
I keep seeing great traditional art on here, and I love seeing how people improve with their drawing skills. Like Thomas Edison once said "Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up." So keep trying and improving your skills. Even the best out there are still learning!
And these have been my ramblings for this month!

New Art

1 min read
I just added some new art, as you can see... Sorry it took such a long time. My computer has been on and off working, and I have been busy with work, and trying to get my P's. I never knew it would be this hard, and I haven't even gone for the test yet... I have to book it on certain days, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and I work Tuesdays. Anyway, enough of my ranting.
How did everyone's Christmas and New Years go?

My God, that's all I can say. What a year it has been. Sorry about the lack of artwork and journal updates etc. I have been rather slack, as well as work and college (assignments, assignments - man I hate them)]
I'm sorry that I have lost touch with quite a few people on here and I feel really bad about it *sorry guys* but hey, if you feel like chatting - I usually reply within six months ;)
What's everyone up to? Anyway, If I don't chat to any of you before X-mas, have a really great one! :hug:
Love,
Mad
