Some thoughts

Currently in the life of a Sunflion F-22...
Ive had this account for years and regrettably haven't done much with it. I'm hoping to do some uploads of more recent art soon though, in both drawings and writing. For now I'm gunna start putting old art I still like up I guess. The last art site I spent a lot of time being active on was dA, but I don't go there much anymore. Actually, I dont do a ton of things on the internet in particular. A few months ago I started to use my phone more to do internet activity,since I didnt want to be stuck in front of my laptop all the time. Since then I've spent a lot of time offline and frequently go radio silent because of such things.
But when I do happen to be on the internet, I do enjoy being social. Even if frequently I am bad at it. A lot of people have vivid worlds within themselves, opening up countless doors for explanation of the characteristics and settings that inhabit their self's. In other words, I love ocs and I enjoy when people calmly tell me about them. Buddies are cool, but even cooler when we can talk ocs.
Sometimes I draw other people's ocs because I feel like it brings me closer to the character. Which is helpful because with so many ocs around, unintentional mental disconnects with the relevancy of things happen. But! Especially for traditional art, there's just something special about it. I started up watercoloring a few months ago, and doing watercolors is so relaxing. Watching pigment spread and crawl through the water on the paper? Absolutely magical. But what's even more magical is the happiness a person gets when they get art they werent expecting. Or getting art in general.
I think I'll scout around sometime here and pick something that looks interesting and then try to draw it. There are a lot of cool characters around here that make my fingers itch. The only way to get rid of it is draw, and by Jove I was not drawing for almost half a year in 2015. It sucked, I had ideas and inspiration but no art stamina. Now I have a lot and its actually kind of overwhelming? I want to draw SO many things at once, ideas and inspiration that's been building up recently or even years...it's ridiculous.
I'll end this by saying the last time I felt like this, I was 12-13 and excited that I was getting better at art. Now the same feeling is back and it feels...pretty darn good.
