I've been neglecting this site and mostly being a Lurker but every now and then I stumble across something that I've done that amuses me greatly. Most of those files so far have been paint stuff I did my Freshman Year of college. Some even previous to that. (I was a freshman from 00-01)

However, I just remembered that I actually HAVE my old sketchbook for stuff previous to that and I though I'd scan that.

There was a time when I drew....in fact, I drew a lot. Everyone who saw my stuff told me how great I was. But, being the person I was I never liked anything I did. So really I don't show my stuff to people very often. In fact, I actually QUIT drawing (even tho it was something I loved) just so I wouldn't have to face that appointment every time I produced something and hated it.

That's probably the main reason why I enjoy looking at other people's art so much. I may not actually draw myself anymore but everyone else's stuff looks so much better than what I could do. At least, I only look at stuff that is better than what I did because I hate what I did lol. I drew before I discovered Manga-Style.... and since then I don't draw but I wish I so wish I could draw manga-style images like everyone else.... I can't make my stuff look like that... Not only that but I draw stuff that is real and don't usually draw stuff in a fantasy way... I enjoy looking at REAL stuff in cartoon/anime form.... However I can't envision the way that something REAL would look in manga form. On top of that, I've never tried because I'm afraid of the dissapointment.

I have so much fun whenever I draw or create it's just that afterwards I look at what I did and I forget about how much joy it brought me and I begin to think about how other people will think....

Just a little insight on to why my deviant art gallery is the way it is. I figured it was relevant for a entry in my DAJournal.
