Some (unimportant) Info About Me
Well, lets see... what might anyone care to know about little old me? 4laugh Well here is the general stuff....
I am 16 years old from Day of Birth, I am 3 years old from Day of Awakening.
You most likely won't know this, but a Day of Awakening is the day in which you learn to stand on your own two feet and think as an individual. It is part of a very unique "culture" that I live in. My DOA, or Day of Awakening is November 16th, my DOB, Day of Birth is May 4th.
I live in sunny California, which I am not fond of in the slightest. Too much pollution, immigrants, and low-lives living in Southern Cali where I live. Northern Cali is much nicer, and there, it actually snows and real trees grow. >.> Not where I live though. If I could choose anywhere in the world to live I think I would choose either Washington or Connecticut. Those art two beautiful states full of green landscapes and rich history ♥
I am currently an 3rd year in high school (AKA 11th grade). I don't attend the usual kind of school though, instead I am on a program called independent study. It allows me the luxury of learning at my own pace, anyway from all the idiocy of standard public school. It also gives me the much needed free-time to make lovely arts for all my wonderful customers ♥
I am pretty much a shy and reserved kind of person. Though I am allot more eccentric on the internet it is still apparent. I am not one to talk about my personal business of family issues, I don't feel the need to complain to others about matters that do not consern them. I also DO NOT like to hear other people whine about their own idiocy. For example, one of my pet peeves is when some idiotic 15 year old complains about getting pregnant even though she very well knew the risks of her physical choices. It is the most retarded thing I've ever heard, and really, when I hear crap like this, I just want to slap those people across the face and tell them to grow up. I and very oppinionated and I really don't care if I hurt your feelings. I really don't. At least not if you are one of those idiots that refuse to see another persons point of view because your too stuck in your own. I also like to think that I have self respect and class. I don't burp in public, I allways cover my nose while sneezing, I don't let my underwear show outside of my pants(I REALLY HATE THAT) and I most certainly do NOT sleep around. I am quite honestly proud to be a respectful lady. And all you people who do tastless things without even thinking of your actions, you are non existant to me. Plain and simple. I do not accosiate with people such as that under any circumstance.
Now onto me as an artist!~
No doubt my favorite hobby would be drawing. I've been an "artist" since I was a first grader. Whenever I have a bit of free-time you can bet i'll be sketching. Im one of those people who draw on the paper place-mats at restaurants while waiting for my food. xD
I started liking anime/manga art around 7th grade, and ever since then I have been obsessed with it. I have never had much interest in any other forms of art ever since then. The first manga that got me inspired to draw was Fruits Basket. Still to this day I have such a love for that series. I am not up to date on it right now, but it will allways have a special place in my heart, even if Im not an uberfan who has memorized every little detail. Anyway, when I originally started getting into drawing anime, I had the full intention to draw in the traditional style you see in Fruits Basket. You know, the overly slender, big eyed anime that most people associate with manga. However, it was pretty obvious that that style did not suit me at all.
By mid- 9th grade I started developing my drawing skills seriously. This was when I first started to draw a picture every day, to practice anatomy, and sketch correctly. I had allways loved the cute big anime eyes, but when I drew, they allways came out looking small and serious. Still to this day I do that. Early on when I was discovering my own style, I realized I was more attracted to the semi-realism anime style. And that is what I have been working towards even now.
I guess it was hard for me to give up the adorable traditional anime style I had wanted to learn so badly, but the way I see it, I have all the time in the world to learn as many things about art as possible. Though I will admit, to some people, my art shouldn't even be considered "art", and hey, maybe they are right. But I do know that I improve each day. I know that the more I draw the more I get comments like " I love this" And " Your amazing!". I know that art is subjective, and different for everyone. I also know that no matter how "bad" at drawing you may be now, if you put your mind to it you will undoubtedly get better. So you can say what I do is not "art", thats fine with me. Because I know that someone, somewhere will see my creations for what they are and for the passion I put in them. And that, in itself, is enough for me.
As far as my inspiration for my art goes, I would have to say that it is life. No other word could describe it any better. The way I see it, you can only become a better artist through growth, and you can only grow by living, and you can only live by seeing, hearing, and touching everything around you. And this doesn't just apply to drawing a tree. I mean you need to use the knowledge you have of space, feelings, color, texture, emotions, sounds, everything- to create wonderful works of art. What I think people don't realize, is that art is not just movements of the hand, it is your very life being spilled onto blank pages to show the world who you are. If you only draw because you want to get better, or be the best, you will ultimately fail. You must first give something to your art. Like an emotion, lets say sadness for example. Think of this, when you are at your low points and you have no one to comfort you but your pencil and paper, you draw to pour those negative feelings out of your life and onto the paper to absorb and become art. And usually, though the art may be sad or remind you or troubled times, you will find that that creation you just made is one of your best pieces. That is because you have given part of who you are to your art, and in return it becomes your own personal masterpiece.
So, in a nutshell, the best way to find inspiration is to use what you know, or how you feel as the basis of whatever you are trying to draw. Of course, what do I know. Im just a 16 year old who doesn't have nearly a speck of talent compared to some. This is just my viewpoint and what works well for me, you can choose to listen or you can ignore advise that may be beneficial. Whatever floats your boat, right?
