# About me

Hello. I am the daughter of an artist. I never was any good at drawing; creative writing has always been more my thing. However, one day in sixth grade I decided that I was sick and tired of having crappy art and only being able to draw stick figures. And so I started paying attention to simple video game graphics and other art. In seventh grade I was introduced to manga and so then I started drawing that.

To summarize my art, I have learned a lot, but I still have ages to go. Really I can only draw people; animals, landscapes and inanimate objects are hell for me. I have a tough time with shading and I'm very critical with my art. A lot of my art here will not be that great, however how do we get better at anything? We practice. Which is pretty much what most of this is.

Because I think my art is crap, I don't share it with most people. Only my father, since he can help me get better. The reason I am making this account is because, in all honestly, I will probably never meet you, and therefore I can never see the looks of disgust on your face.

Warning: Constructive critism is more than welcome, but please don't flat out insult my art. Yes, I know its bad, however, I don't back down from a challenge. In eight grade I opened up my heart enough to show a friend who liked to draw my art. Her response: "Wow. Is this it? Your art sucks." And that was the moment I resolved that, before I die, a piece of my art will be published.
