haaaayy so now I am finally getting settled in to my new home, almost got the job sitch figured out (what a stress load off my mind!) and I can really spend more time practicing.. I've decided right now what I need to do with myself is instead of trying to do this big pieces one after the other, I'm going to P-R-A-C-T-I-C-E way more.. (Lord knows I need it).. I've been finding myself struggling with some simple concepts or figures in my drawings and I'm sick of my lacking of some technical skill to dampen my visions and sometimes kill my motivation to get my image onto paper the way I see it in my head.. my grandpa was the best and that was always his advice when I asked him how to be great like him and he would write me letters sending me his art instruction books and would say the same thing over and over- PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE.. okayy!! I got it Grandpa! I hope you can see what I am doin from heaven and I really want to develop like the great artist that you became
Another part of my progression I want to work on is really developing my own style.. I feel like my work is all over the place, and I really want to get a hand that draws pictures that you can instantly recognize as mine.. thats the hardest part!
In order to keep myself on this track I am trying to stay true to, I started a blog.. I am really trying to use it to keep myself in check with these promises I am making to myself, and to post images of my practice so I have my own little journal of this artist trek we all have to take.. I am just a lazy sonuvagun and I am finally knowing myself well enough to know what things will keep me at it and develop good practicing habits so I dont falter and have another 3 month lull of no drawing (which I come to realize makes me a crabby person lol).. I'll share it once I start having some actual progress on that.. for now it's at entry one and its just me bitching about dealing with my own stubbornness in not developing my technical skill lol
I dunno maybe I'll share it soon in all its embarrassing glory.. I'd like to connect more with people on dA (or any artists out there) who are struggling with the same thing.. trying to really find and reach your potential as an artist (sans expensive art school) while trying to maintain the other areas of life like work & relationships.. I feel like there's a lot of artists out there going through the same journey and I'm hoping we can find each other and do what we were put on this planet to do.. help each other
So just to prepare you.. probably a lot of WIPs and random practice drawings to come... feel free to critique and offer any advice that has helped make YOU become the amazing artist all you deviants are

heeerooosoooooooo! Right now I am working to submit 9 pieces to be hung in the Lafayette Hotel in San Diego for a monthly art display. They're going up for sale and I am ridiculously stoked to be working towards it. Even if I don't sell any.. hanging 9 of my drawings in a busy classy San Diego hotel for a month straight for free? ummmmmm HECK YES! I already have 6, and I wanted to create 3 new ones with my big new fancy schmancy 14x17" sketchbook I just bought meself.. the first one of which I just uploaded (another animal print one, booo :nerd: )- well an "arachnid" print :) . since I might be saying byebye to some of my drawings I'm aiming

I'm sorry I've been pretty inactive on Devart lately.. school is definately a killer right now :( I have many things in the works that I hope to finish soon, but with all the studying and working I havent had any time to devote to what I wanna dooo uggghhh.. this is so sad! But the good news is school is over in less than a month, and I cant wait for all the free time I'm going to get back.. don't be bored of me yet! Im so anxious to get a moment to myself to sit down and just draw again!.. and time to browse all my groups' art for hourrs (my favorite timekiller :D )
Hopefully, I will explode in an artistic, colorful, interesting, and vividl
