I can't believe it. I really can't. I've been a member on DA for TEN YEARS. I have looked at older pictures that I've worked on and posted but the amount of years ago that I posted them didn't quite register. Now it does.

Once, when I was in highschool, I lost interest in art and no longer enjoyed it but one day I was browsing DA and I saw so much art that I found amazing that it actually reignited my love for art. I was blown away by how amazing these pictures were. These artists made me want to do art again. Some artists even influenced my drawing and colouring style (believe it or not). When I started doing digital art I didn't have a graphics tablet so I ended up colouring line art with a mouse and then eventually I got a graphics tablet (to this day I have no idea how I managed to colour with a mouse).

I always told myself that the reason I coloured line art digitally was because I didn't have a graphics tablet, but when I got one I still carried on colouring line art. Then at one point I finally realised it wasn't because I started off with a mouse, but because I have ALWAYS enjoyed colouring. When I was a kid  everyday after school I would go to my colouring book and colour in line art to pass the time. I loved it and I still do. The only thing I ever drew was stick men. So now  whenever I work on my art, I never look at it and hate it while or after I've worked on the picture. When I look at my old pieces, I remember the helpful feedback people gave me over the past 10 years for those pictures and then I see how much I've improved. It makes me really happy. I do admit, I do struggle on the pictures I work on sometimes, but eventually I pull through. Sometimes I wonder how I am able to. I'm proud of myself and am grateful to those who helped me improve on my art.

Also, THANK YOU to ALL of you guys who have followed me on DA and seen my progress over the years. You're awesome! I also apologise for not posting art as regularly as I used to, but don't worry, I am colouring line art. I may not be uploading everything I finish, but I do try and upload the better ones when I finish them.

I hope you all be awesome and stay awesome.

Hi guys! Been a while!

I'll start uploading stuff again, not often, but I will. Which means I'll be more active when it comes to uploading pictures.

Hey everyone!

I forgot to mention that I was going to volunteer for Comic Con Africa. I can't believe it's been a week now since Comic Con Africa!

I got to be the team leader in the artist's alley with the volunteers. It was so nice seeing so many familiar faces and some of the art was just stunning! I also got to meet some amazing people! I gained a lot of experience from Comic Con Africa and meet really good people. I really enjoyed myself even though it included working really hard.

I was sad that I didn't actually look around the rest of the convention and that I was in the artist's alley the whole time because I was so busy. Otherwise, I enjoyed myself thoroughly.

I had a great time in Italy, it was really nice going there again and visiting places I've never been to before within Italy.

I happened to visit Belgium too, and whenever Belgium won a match, more and more decorations went up in so many different forms.

I am currently visiting Belgium, then on Saturday afternoon I'm flying to Italy! I really can't wait. We're visiting places I haven't been to before!

As for my art, I have been working on it a little bit, but nothing will be finished soon sadly especially now that I'm on holiday. Sorry for not uploading guys,but I have been busy.
