Ahh Wandzie baby, I just love seeing you grow as an artist<3
Your getting so much better with every piece you do.
I can definitely see so much improvement from your more recent art compared to the art you were doing when I gave you your first pep talk. .keep it up dearie and I'm definitely going to get a piece here from you in the near future <3
I'm your biggest supporter!
One day your going to look back at your art, when you hated it the most and laugh at your frustration.. and then you're going to smile, because in the end.. when you reach your art goals, you're going to realize it was all worth it. Then you can be the one in my shoes, coaching someone else and giving them confidence boosts to keep going. You got this girly, and you're doing a great job!<3


Like girl look at this. This is from just under a year ago.
Do you remember this?




Here's a better view at that piece of art.



Now look at this.


These are about 25 days from a year apart.
Do you see your improvements?
Holy frapp, I do.
You have come so far in ELEVEN months.
(Not to mention you did take a break.. so this is improvement WITH that break)
Words cant explain how freaking proud of you I am <3
Now aren't you glad you didn't give up?
You listened to others around you encourage you to keep trying, and you kept going.
No its not perfect, no its not exact anatomy like what someone would use for a reference book..
But you know what? That's okay.
Practice takes time, mastering your style takes time.

If I would have shown you this new photo 11 months ago, you would have never believed you were capable of drawing this.. and that's what I'm getting at.

You have continued to try, and you have come so far.
Be proud of yourself.
Enjoy what you draw.
It's not going to be perfect all the time, but one day you will get that perfect piece.. I promise you.
And if you still hate some of your art, it's okay.
All artists do it.
We are our own worst critics..
But if people are buying you art,
Then they've seen your examples and know how you draw.
They are buying it for a reason.
They like what they see, and they are going to be hppy with your art, even if you aren't yet.

It's going to be okay. Just keep pushing.
I believe in you <3

@Sabu;
Well I think you may have just killed me for like the second time today. Can I just say, thank you so much. You've made me realise a heck of a lot that I've needed, and I can't begin to describe how happy it made me. You are amazing, and bring out the best in others.

On a new note, with my new style, I'm starting a fresh art shop, so you can all look out for that if you want ^^

Hehe cx
I'm glad you enjoyed the ego and confidence boosters.
I haven't forgotten about you. Haha, I regularly check up on you c':
I may not say anything , but I see you improving
And Im always rooting you on.
One day, it may take another year,
You're going to be like those other flawless artists you once described and wished you could be.. and I promise you, it's going to all be worth it.
One day people are going to look up to you and admire your art, and ask for tutorials and ask you how you do stuff.. just like you (maybe mentally) do to all the artists you admire. Everyone has to start somewhere, and like me.. you had a late start in life with drawing. I started at like 13.. and I'm no where near perfect at all, but every time I take time to sit down and study my previous work and try to add to portfolios, I see my own improvements.. I boast about it a little, and then it boosts my confidence to keep going. My biggest thing I've gotta keep in mind for myself, is to not rush through it. Even if I've been working on something for 13 hours and I want to be done (I'm so slow).. I can't just rush through it and call it quits. If I take the extra hour or two, it's so much more worth it than a half/unfinished piece thrown together at the last second.

But yeah. Make sure I get that new art shop.
I'm hoping I fixed my laptop, IL know later today.. and I maybe able to get back into my own art.. and if that's the case, once I get some money in I'll Def commission you cx
