Thank you!
AmaDenchArtAnd I really do. I love drawing! I am passionate about drawing. I love drawing for myself and I love drawing for others, be it commissions or gifts for my close friends. I love studying art: drawing techniques, old masters, books, work from others. They do not make me feel bad for not being as good as them, but inspire me to become a better artist. Because I know nothing comes without effort.
Every new character or scene I get to draw, a new challenge I get to surpass, and it fills me with incredibly strong energy, that renovates itself every time I get to do it again.
Seeing the messy lines turning to life, completely bent under the soft movements of my hand is like playing god, giving life to creatures and scenes I want, the way I want. It's a sensation I cannot describe with words! And it's wonderful!
It's not always easy, of course. "Blocks" eventually come and fill me with anger, frustration, maybe sadness, but deep inside, I know they'll eventually be gone after some time, all I need to do is respect the natural cycle of production. Nothing can be productive 100% of the time. Even nature has its phase of cooldown.
And then, what comes after the bad valley, is a peak of productivity and satisfaction!
Of course, there are things I don't enjoy drawing, but since I've decided to take art as my career, I've also decided to not draw them, because I want to love what I do, and do what I love. Even if it sounds utopic, I feel my life got better and happier after I took this decision. And I think it shows on what I make. A drawing made with love is always going to look better than a drawing made without it!
I just wanted to share a bit of what I am feeling now. There are so many "bad feeling" journals out there, that I wanted to create " "good feelings" journal. Maybe someone out there feels the same way as me?
And of course, I love you too! My dear watchers and supporters, without you, it wouldn't be as good as it is now. <3

This is so wonderful to hear, dear Nae. :}===<3
The most important thing you forgot to mention!
What is your drink of choice during those arduous and long work hours? What keeps you afloat!
I don't drink! So I usually get some juice, soda or chocolate milk. :3
(I hate coffee!)
Juice to sate the delicious taste buds.
And soda to round off this trio of triumph!
I agree, coffee is bleh! Though I damn well love that smell!
In the end whatever floats your inspiration boat!
It's a coffee-based (vanilla or chocolate) concentrate, you can mix it with water or milk :3
Here's a good start for something with all the feels: http://www.buzzfeed.com/expresident.....th-in-humanity
That post is awesome.
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11720209/ you get to pick your character and your colors heheheeh :3 I just want to give back to you because your an inspiration to me hehehe and idol if I might say so hehehehe
Jokes aside, I'm happy to see artists like this... this is more than half of being an artist.
É mais ou menos essa a mensagem que eu sempre tento passar pros meus amigos que desenham.
É bom ver um journal assim entre tantos outros posts pelas interwebs que são autodepreciativos
Amei ;A; !
You can tell you love what you're doing just by seeing your art
Keep being awesome at it
Sometimes I felt like I'm not good enough as an artist, but I'm sure that the only way to become better is to practice... and learning things of course, because talent doesn't exist.
Needless to say, this was fun to read, never stop drawing. :>

You are an inspiration. The way you make all the stuff come to life can't be described. Keep on being damn awesome!
Muitas vezes olho pros meus trabalhos, e acho o progresso lento ou insatisfatório, porém como todos tem um prazo (ou às vezes não tem, mas quanto mais rápido terminarmos, mais rápido podemos pegar um trabalho novo), acabo fazendo do jeito de sempre. Vejo que tenho muitos vícios errados, e muita coisa sei exatamente o que deveria estudar pra corrigir. Só que acaba não dando tempo ou faltam oportunidades dentro do trabalho pra ousar.
Aí nessas, me sinto batendo numa barreira em termos de progredir, onde pra poder tornar-se melhor, acaba restando apenas uma saída: Desenhar como trabalho, e também desenhar como hobbie! Me parece que pra chegar no nível de alguns artistas que admiro, precisaria me tornar completamente obssecado, onde o trabalho é a arte, e a diversão também é a arte, e não consigo ser assim...
Outra saída, seria tirar umas férias de uns 3 meses, só pra estudar... Mas aí as contas deixam de ser pagas!
Não sei se já bateu nesse mesmo tipo de barreira, e/ou como resolveu... Mas o importante é: Voltar pra escritórios, jamais! :p
Praticando, eu melhoro a qualidade do meu trabalho, e quando melhoro a qualidade do meu trabalho, a demanda por ele aumenta, e quando aumenta, aumenta também o preço. Eu procuro melhorar também enquanto trabalho, por isso sempre ofereço "wing-it" out commissions experimentais, onde o cliente só diz o personagem o resto fica por minha conta. Aproveito pra treinar muito, e me divirto! Me sinto mal quando me vejo cometendo um erro por causa de um vício, e tomo isso como algo que fere a minha honra como desenhista, não consigo continuar errando a mesma coisa, quero melhorar!
É como se eu ganhasse pra fazer o que eu gosto!
Entendo muito bem o seu dilema e é algo complicado mesmo, mas se você está feliz do jeito que está agora, e se está dando lucro ou sendo benéfico à sua vida, então acho que você está bem. Eu é porque realmente não me contento ficando estagnada ^^;
O jeito é respirar fundo e fazer alguns sacrifícios! Não dá pra querer tudo!
With that said, it was unnecesary for you to say this; I mean, it's obvious that you love to draw! It actually shows in the drawings
But still, I wait until I recover to go back to what I usually do!
I'm glad my work can inspire you, and I just hope they can keep doing it! I'll do my best to produce high-quality work so they'll be worth your watch. <3
It used to be quite the depressing downtime too. Though now we try to take that time to give our arms other types of exercise (play Skyrim ftw) and ponder ideas to work on when the arm is back to full power again!
(btw I'd have to say that especially your Blade Under Mask characters are fantastic. I never knew how to feel about insect character but you have made me adore them. I feel inspired and I wanna take a shot at designing some myself)
I've been sick the past few days, so I'm not surprised I'm still leaving words out. X3
I feel the same way. Art is the one thing that is always there, something I have always enjoyed. Even through the times where things got rough with it and it seemed like I wouldn't get anywhere. It seems like in those darkest times you'll always have a breakthrough and learn a bunch of little things that just set that internal artistic spark ablaze again and it pours out creativity like a fountain.
The act of creating things and working with ideas you enjoy so much in your mind is something I wish more people could do. It brings such joy to give an idea life and form in the way of art.
I'm glad to see you viewing your art like this and enjoying it so much. It's obvious that you do love your work so much, because your attention to detail and the motion and life in your drawings is captured so well. Keep doing what you're doing and continue down this art road because, well, the sky is the limit when you're passionate about art!
I hope more people see this journal and that it makes their artistic spark get fired up~
EDIT: re-posted because I'm tired and mutilated the English language in the first post >>;
Glad you like drawing, because you're AWESOME at it! hehe
I never know what to say here, thanks and go forth? xD
And keep it up, your works are beautiful.
reading this just made me unf so happy. ~
i love the imaginary world inside my head, and i feel compelled to try to share it. for this reason i will shamelessly use every tool i can find to try and make it easier to do so.
and sometimes i don't even open those tools because i know the hours i will spend with them when i do.
its not a bad place using them. i love that place too.
but its not the same place as formulating what i want to show.
how it can show some part of what i want it to.
i know what i then make is a mechanical representation, like photograph, of a thing that is not physically there, except inside my head.
i know my focus doesn't well convey how i feel about it.
but then i'm not trying to depict me. and that's why.
the easier ways get, to depict this world, the one inside my head, the happier i will be. whether its art or not isn't why i do it.
its always been this struggle for me. to interrupt living there, to try and translate it visually, into something someone else can at least partially see.
