Now I may have replied to like only one or two people on my last journal, but trust me when I say I read every single comment and extremely appreciated all the support you all gave me, and all the support on my first pic.

Now I know it looks rough as can be, but I hope I can steadily improve and by this time next year will be able to make something at least halfway decent.

But from here on out, I HOPE I can keep up my momentum and post at least one pic a week.


I sincerely thank you all for the kind words, and hope in time you'll all enjoy my works. Not now of course, they are just terrible. But in the future~!

( If you don't wanna read all this, just skip to the last lil paragraph, that's really all the info you need )
Alright everyone, THIS IS IT! Okay! For real now! I'm....gonna try to learn to draw.

Now for those unaware, and long story short. Seeing as my friends on here are 90% artists, I always felt a bit left out not getting to contribute to our little community; be it gifts, or personal projects, character building or just some fun stuff in general. So over these past couple years here on DA, I've made journals now and again talking about how I was gonna learn to draw. Only problem though was, each time I started, about a week later or two I would abandon it all and quit, and always mainly for one painful reason. Having really great artistic friends.

Now why would that stop me? Well because I'm in my 20's and I'm just now trying to learn. I don't have a history of drawing as a kid, and am pretty much starting fresh and blind right out of the gate at this age. Meaning I am ooooverly aware of how bad my current drawing level is. Overly aware that anything I draw will look like it's been done by a 12 year old. And overly aware that I'm nowhere near a decently presentable level. And having so many wonderful and talented friends, I can just see where I'm clearly not.

Now I've always known, with practice and time, I could become something great. But I kept putting it off for so long that now at almost 24, I look back to the first time I tried to draw, back when I was 18 and I realize, if I just would of stuck with it then maybe by now I WOULD'VE been a great artist. Maybe I COULD have been great by this point.

So now I've decided. I'm just gonna buckle down, bite down on the little pride that I have, and draw like a toddler for a couple years until I improve.

Which brings me to this journal.

If I keep making crappy pictures while I'm learning to draw, would you guys be fine with me posting them? You know for general comments on pointers, criticism, and general and justifiable insults? Cause let me know if anyone's interested in me actually doing this. Cause my original plan was to draw in shame and secrecy for a year first, then start posting when they start getting decent. But if you guys are cool with the occasional craptastic Yumes doodle filling your inbox, then I'd be happy to oblige.

Just noticed Core vanished. Which normally wouldn't be a problem, except for one reason. I keep getting popups, telling me to get rid of popup blocker now XD DA seems to hate it. Ehehe well sorry DA. Charge that much for a membership, and obviously others are gonna try to ignore all the adds XP
