"... That voice you hear in your head when you’re not talking is not defined by your body. That voice is truth. It is the infinite. You are more than just a body. You are a mind. So get creative. Live for that voice. Because like everyone always told you, It’s what’s on the inside that counts."

Hi long lost friends, how are you?
I miss you guys so much, I feel like I havent talkwd to anyone in a while TTT.TTT
So I just realized I had my 3rd-year-of-drawing anniversary about 2-3 months ago xD
Yay!
I started drawing about 2 weeks before my freshie year of highschool, and I'm so happy I did :)
Well, I did draw a little before that, but it wasn't ever anything in a sketchbook or whatnot, mostly smilie faces and cartoon animals in my copybook margins xD I also used to sculpt, but once again, not well or anything spectacular ;)
I'd have to say, I'm pretty happy with where I am now, there's always room for improvement of course, but I'm happy :) I 've improved a crapton over the years xD
So, I'm so happy to have been art-ing for 3 years, I hope to keep going for many more!
<3
