Hi everyoooone 

First of all thank you for your support on the last journal XD I promise I'll try to keep this kind of comments down because they are very annoying for others, although I know most artists feel that way one day or the other.

So I will keep on drawing and following amazing artists no matter how hard it is for my ego!

To train a bit, I decided I would start doing art trade if anyone is interested. I already got one with . I'll draw his charismatic character Nevula, and he was kind enough to accept trying my OC Kamil

So if you'd like me to draw you something, be it request or art trade, just ask I just have to warn you that the delays might be quite long because I'm pretty low on inspiration right now. But then again it might get me going !

Here we go again.

You know, my journals tend to be quite random, like most people's journals, I guess, and many times I wonder if it is because I lack things to say or because I can never know what is important to say.

Anyway, today I finally understood - and by that I mean more like FINALLY, totally realised - why it is so difficult to get much feedback on DA when you are not one of the popular artists. There are just too many. Too many drawings, too many artists. It is the hardest thing to try and catch a viewer's attention - especially when there are people who are so much better than you out there.

Okay, so that's set, but then I told myself : "this is actually what happens in real life with art, music, writing, etc." Art and entertainment industries work exactly the same as DA. Okay, maybe not to that extreme, because there artists in here who are not super well known but still manage to have their public, but hell, now I am so glad my father didn't let me go to art school. No offense to people who actually go there, I admire what they do, I would LOVE to do the same, the studies must be awesome, but then? What do you do then? And of course I know it's the same with other jobs because nowadays so many people have diplomas, but... yeah.

I'm ranting XD Lol.

Lately I'm more into music than drawing and painting... we've started Rossini's mass in choir and we're going to sing it in Leipzig in April. I hope the music and the trip wiill give me some ideas for drawing. I also started collecting children's storybooks for their illustrations, and seriously, it helps. It's easier to try and define your style when you have a whole collection of books with different styles to look in and pick little details here and there.

So anyway, this was fun to write. I've added 4 new deviations in one day... something must be wrong !! xD

The sad truth is that... I'm not a good artist. And the sadder truth is that I don't even need to tell you hahaha XD you can see it for yourself...
I just wanted to say that I'm aware that most people on DA are more talented than I am and I will always respect them for their art and
capacities, but what can I do !  I can't help drawing. I've tried to stop several times realising how much I sucked but  still kept on, so I suppose it's something you keep doing until you're perfect.

Okay, this journal doesn't really have a point <3 I just hated the idea of people thinking that I actually believe I'm good, I suppose. Posting something on DA doesn't mean you think you're good, at least not for me... it means "look what I can do and please share impressions and help me improve" unfortunately some artists like myself get little to no feedback - which I can understand, I'm not blaming anyone so sometimes I truly wonder about the usefulness of DA. But again, I can't stop uploading stuff so yes XD

Keep up the great art, everyone!
