# About me
I'm 18 years old, so please don't expect any amazing art. I'm here to learn, explore and grow as an artist.Drawing animals is my thing. Their complexities and anatomy are very exciting to learn about, and apply artistically. I've tried drawing humans in the past, but failed rather miserably. Regardless, I'm still trying my best to learn how to draw them, and I may be putting up some portraits which I've created as proof that I'm somewhat succeeding in those endeavors.
You may notice some photography on this site, and those are just scrawny little images which I've taken on my trip to Italy 3 years ago. Sure, my photography isn't the best, but they're going to stay just for the fun of it.
I'm originally from South Africa. Later, my family moved to Holland, and then moved (again) to America. So, I can speak English, and Dutch, so feel free to chat to me in both languages. I plan on moving to Holland in OH..a week, so maybe my Dutch will be a bit better in the future.
Ah, and hey, please visit my website for more art. I can't promise that I can get everything up there and still post things here.

AAAHHHH! I'm so sorry!
Wow, it's been a while. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I've been really busy with everything. School, homework and just life, and drawing in between is tough. I'll try to be on more often. I should've told you that I travel quite a bit as well, and have been around the country. Heh, I'm so sorry.
Thanks so much for saying hi. Yeah, I'll try to get more drawings up soon.

Oh, it's okay! I was just saying I miss it! I havn't had much time for photography either, what with the semester ending, so I don't blame you. More traveling? *is jealous* d:
No problem, I look forward to them :3

Thanks so much for understading lol, most people get just get annoyed. Yeah, school eats up time like it's crazy. But I'm on winter break now! What about you, do you get a break?
Heh, always more traveling. This time we kinda got around the U.S. We went to Chicago, a little bit of New York and Minnesota. It was amazing!
Haha, traveling is only fun when you get to where you want to go. It's the long car drives or plane rides that are the low of the trip, so no need to be jealous.
How is your photography going? The pictures you took of the doggie were adorable!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No problem (:
Ugh, I don't know about you, but I was stressing a little those last few weeks. Yeah, i have a break. We just had Christmas yesterday, which was nice :3 Wow! That sounds like so much fun! You've been everywhere! (exaggeration alert, but still lol) Are you still traveling, or are you back home for now?
It's fine, for the most part. I may need a new lens soon, but that's life, eh? Thank you!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, winter break makes everything better, more now because it includes christmas which = presents! Lol 
I'm back home now, much better.
Glad to hear your photography is going well. Yeah, life always jumps in sometime. As long as you always keep taking pictures, life rolls along.
Stay Merry!

Tell me about it! I'm the same way, though this year I sort of ran out of money before I was finished, which is never fun
You too!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ugh, yeah. Oh Well.
Hey, just to give you a heads up, I might not be one too much in the coming week.
So, I'm just wishing you a happy new year
Thanks!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Traveling more? Have fun!
Happy new year to you too, I'll be counting down the seconds (:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hey,
I'm back!
Happy late new year..nine days late actually. Oh, well.
Yep, I went to Chicago again! Thanks, I did have a lot of fun
How are things with you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, it's still the new year in my book. So happy new years to you too!
Chicago! Ugh, lucky. I'm not much for big cities, but im still jealous.
Good! School is school (which is bleh). Everything's lulled, sort of boring. What about you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, that kinda sounds like school here as well. All the teachers are already getting tired and all of us kids are counting down the days untill spring break
But I gues school is what you make of it.
I'm having a major art block at the moment as well, and that never makes things any better.
So all in all, life sucks at the moment, but I know it will get better
How is the photography going?
Well, I hope
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Same here! It seems so far away though...
Ugh! Thats no good! But i bet it will come in one huge wave of inspiration
I'm sorry about that. But you're right, it'll all be okay eventually. Just gotta stick with it
Also, I just got a new guitar, so therefore my spirits are unusually high at the moment
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, the ideas will all come, but it still sucks sitting here everyday waiting for inspiration to fly into my head. Ugh.
Well, thank you, now a little more hope has come with drawing
Yes, I agree, school eats up way too much time. Way to much. Still counting down the days 'till spring break. No, photography is way to hard to balance with school as well...
Wow! A new guitar, that's so cool! What type of music do you play? You totally have reason to be happy
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It will though, probably in a huge storm
Yeah! Hense me taking over a week to answer. School is eating me alive. I am too! Are you going anywhere interesting for spring break?
Just random stuff I find online, i havn't written anything myself yet, but hopefully I'll find the time soon. I got this one at a pawn shop, so it's not quite used, but it's still gorgeous :3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sorry about the long wait, though I'm sure we've already discussed the source of this..haha..FINALS! I'm so scared
Nope, we're just staying where we are for Spring Break. Kinda sad, I know, but it's alright. What about you?
Well, I'm sorry, I have to go, but I'll see if I have time to answer anything this afternoon.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You'll do great!
Same here, probably. We might go somewhere close for a day or two, like Memphis (TN), but for the most part I'll probably just hang out.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ACK, sorry its been so long. -,-
Wow, Memphis sounds pretty cool! Common, the idea of a spring break is to have fun, which means either going somewhere or sleeping in 'till 12:00
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'll probably end up sleeping in til 2:00

I don't mind the late reply, I'm not exactly the fastest at answering either.
I could've guessed that she told you..haha.
Heh, school kills everyone, do you guys get alot of homework there?
Same here, I've got no time at all to focus on school + a four hour long drawing, LOL.
I actually think I'm going crazy, I'm not drawing enough, OH well.
OK, well I gotta go type a 5 minute speech --cheers, swings arms around, hits lamp, falls, laughs for 2 minutes straight--
OH Yeah.
Hope to hear from ya soon!

Thanks for the fave.
If you want to see other renders, just add me to your watch list
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aww, thank you.
You could request a render though.
I'll give you a rare one ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm fine, thank you so much though!
Just you keep rendering, I really want to see more!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1
AHHHHH! What were you thinking!? of course someone would be interested in renders!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Really?
Not many though. I'll be uploading more now.
What anime do you take an interest at?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sorry! My computer shut down on me! Don't you just love 'em laptops?
Usually, people like the popular animes, so like, Naruto, Bleach, Vampire Knight...stuff like that. Remember that the render also relies on the artist. You could do an amazing render of an anime character, but the art just has to be good (which you already did)
