Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

I've posted my art for the first time here, on gaiaonline... The art I posted, was in which was some of the best stuff i did (well I thought it was), but it turned out, not too many people liked it... and I was judged horribly.......... It felt awful, so bad that I just felt like giving up. Constructed Criticism will do that to you... But everyone was saying, "Draw from life..." These three words continue to buzz around in my head, and these people are much better than I am, it would be wise to heed their advice... Although, I do have some experience in drawing from a source, but, I'm not sure if it would be smiled upon... I have no natural born talent in art. But I want to it to evolve and develop, going from hero to zero, if I might add, lol. I've always wanted to be a professional cartoonist since I was in the 4th grade (8 years of age), and I always thought that I would be naturally good at it, turns out, I'm not. But this dream is so big for me, I refuse to stop now, I will continue to gain experience, seek wisdom and persevere one of my life's dreams... Tomorrow, I will go to school and see if it is possible that I would be able to apply for an art course, if not well then... there's always the internet =). I seek help, I will not let my dream die here. I refuse...
