Improvement
1 min read
As an artist who seeks improvement, I decided a year ago to join DA and get inspiration. I also learned that my body proportion skills were horrible based on observations of my own. I am still continuing on the path to better body proportions and more expressive motions.An artist is never finished with improving oneself's art. There is no such thing as a true master of art. Some who are on the epitome of art begin to lose their heads and decide that improvement is no longer necessary. Like no person is knowledgeable to know everything, art is never done. It is never complete. It can always be refined.
That is why I am working on poses and not posting as much as I could.

Still

The hammer of destruction hit
Down I went without a splinter of imagination left
Hurling my creations out the window
Because they weren't perfect
Spewing excuses for days and weeks
Cause Mommy and Daddy wouldn't like it
For they were not my biggest critic
I was
So there came no need to procrastinate
For what I sought to demonstrate
Was that I wasn't perfect and neither is my art
I only need to please me.
Above was a tiny part of what had gone through my mind. Art and I have always had an on off relationship. I love art! I will continue loving it the rest of my life... but sometimes I can't bring myself to draw. I beat myself up over my art. I am not fire. My passion is a flickering candle. I am the most energetic early in the morning but my creative juices usually flow in the evening. So whenever I am inspired I procrastinate and I never accomplish anything. I am drawing and sketching most mornings. I just can't find anything "good" or finished enough to post... Sorry for being inactive for so long. It was also an experiment to see if I would lose any watchers and if anyone noticed I was inactive. I love you guys!

Final Draft of my Ode
1 min read
Ode to Ghibli Movies
From suffering shone
Beauty as it made itself known
"People who aren't afraid to dream
Can become anything"
Ribbons drifting through the air
Magic can be found everywhere.
Dreaming of soaring in the sky,
Color fuses before my eyes.
Ghibli movies are unique!
So perfect are they- there is nothing to critique.
I think it flows better but I hope I kept the message the same. I wanted to explain how I felt the first time I watched Ghibli movies and how it gave me courage to keep on moving forward. I wanted to praise them.

My first time writing an Ode

Ode to Ghibli Movies
From suffering shone
Beauty as it made itself known
People who aren't afraid to dream
Can become anything
I was reborn with wings.
Ghibli movies transformed my eyes.
I saw the "ribbons of air"
Magic is everywhere
Dreaming of soaring in the sky,
I could never live without Ghibli movies by my side.
This was an assignment presented to me courtesy of my language arts teacher. She thought I would be excited to experience new forms of poetry and I was until she announced she was going to grade the ode. I was,of course, not very surprised. I dreaded the thought of having to do a somewhat structured form of poetry. It had to include symbolism, rhyme and meter. I also had to explain symbolism. Meter is something that I am horrible at achieving within a poem but I hope I captured it. If I didn't are there any tips or advice you can offer? Thank you.

don't feel good
1 min read
I caught a cold recently. I don't have a fever but I do have a sore throat and a cough. It doesn't feel too good. I am really tired and I don't like it because I am normally energetic and bouncy. I am so tired that even typing is hard work. well it will probably go away in a few days. this is why i am not drawing much lately.
