hahaha i haven't written a journal in 3 years! i'm pro.

i think this is a new trend for me of doing huge file dumps on deviant every new year & every summer.

all that stuff i just put on is what has compiled from last august till now.

I had a drawing class at school where my charcoals came from, and i have a different class that wants a sketch book, but i have been doing about 1 sketch book per year since middle school so that's no probs there.

god i wish i had a painting program from my lappy to make nicer finished products. I feel so inadequate when the only things i post here are pencil sketches...

Once i get back to school & get my art supplies out of storage i think i want to start water coloring my sketches...see how those turn out...the two water color figures i have in my gallery aren't so bad so maybe i can produce something worthy to look at ;D

we'll see...even my charcoals are messy and unkempt i think i lack the ability for neat finished products.

oh yes. i'm under the influence of Sandro Botticelli. I'd lust after the man if he were alive. His works consume my mind almost hourly & it is working itself into everything i do, namely my character drawings for d&d and my research for 2 gentlemen of verona. I have a huuuuge folder full of Italian renaissance fashion & artwork that i go through at least 5 times a night...help
