Thank you so much. Hm... I just noticed that I seem to upload an artwork every month. It's mainly because of my college workload or I'm just too lazy. HAHAHA!

I started drawing when I was still 5 years old, but I didn't plan to be good at it. It just kinda happened. I just kept drawing and drawing.
When I turned 7 years old, I started to copy cartoon characters or trace it. I was so good at copying back then for my age. Then I thought that what if I memorize the details of the cartoon character. I was going through a fast development ever since I started thinking that way.
When I turned 9 years old, the anime called "Naruto" was so popular back then and even now. I was into it, so I drew the characters all the time. And the same time, I started to have and develop my pride as an artist.
When I turned 13 years old, I stumbled upon video tutorials on YouTube, mainly about anime(obviously, almost all my drawings are anime OCs). I never used a pencil to draw until I watched a couple of tutorials. That is also the reason why I draw girls most of the time, because I have the idea that girls are more complicated to draw and more artistic than guys.
Now, I am still further developing my drawing my skills in anime and, rarely, realism(I can draw realism, too!). I tend to observe a lot of things that I may use to draw, like when I saw a person standing in a complicated lighting and observing and figuring out where will be the shadow cast. And I do it with a piercing glare like some kind of pervert. LOL! Or sometimes I pose girly poses in front of a mirror when nobody is looking. I know it's gay like but I only do it when I'm really having a bad time drawing the pose I want(PS I'm not gay). I also use my own hand as a reference most of the time. Sometimes when I see a sexy girl, I tend to measure her body proportions from afar. I know these habits are weird, but whatever. I do it for art! LOL!

Wow nice man, I wish I got into art that early, to be honest I just started drawing over a year ago to be honest, before then I was never really "serious" about art at all.
When you said that you saw some video tutorials, are you a fan of mark crilley by any chance
Nice man, I would kinda like to see some of your realism It would be really cool By the way, how are you so good at coming up with OCs, for me I can't really create OCs to be honest for some reason whenever I do create them they always resemble another anime character or something not to mention that I dont really think I have my own style or anything.
XD well that seems like a good excuse next time I see a nice looking chick and she points out the fact that i'm staring at her, im just gonna be like "ITS FOR MY ART I SWEAR!!!"
your a really amazing artist, you plan to have any future in art or anything of that?

You don't have to be serious when it comes to drawing. You just have to go with it.
Yep! The two most popular persons when it comes to tutorials on YouTube are Mark Crilley and Sophie chan. I'm a really big fan of Mark, but I never watched Sophie chan's though. XD
You can't make OCs without resembling another characters a little these days. Sometimes, you just have to mix it up. When it comes to making an OC with a name, background, and other personal stuff, you have to think long and hard about that OC. However, when making an OC just for random crap, like this drawing here, you are free to draw what you feel. The reason why my OCs don't really, if not little another character is because I developed, or should I say developing, my own style.
Well, I don't really think I'll have a professional career as an artist. After all, I'm currently taking up Accounting. A lot of people said that my skills are wasted, but screw them. I don't need classes. I'll become a pro self taught artist one day, and my art works will be featured on the Daily Deviations. LOL

well, by serious I mean thats when I started to draw almost every day and practice my ass off untill I learn something new every coming week
Yea Im also a huge fan of mark, I would like Sophie chan better if she talked during her videos, she is an amazing artist though
Yea your right, Idk I just have a crappy Imagination so whenever I draw something without reference it comes out weird I cant even make a random ass OC whenever Im just drawing whatever they always come out awkward and there doing some awkward pose Im kinda shitty without a director to be honest, but thats just me as for you your really good man, alot of your OCs look really cute and awesome
Wow your really confident and that confidance is really inspiring, I wanna be the same way, I feel like I wanna draw for 4 hours straight right now! also hey I mean, I'll try and help you out ya know, I'll tell some of my friends about you, I mean you already have a decent fan base, I think if you where to make youtube videos about art you might be able to be really popular, with your talent

Yes, that would help. Practicing and practicing until you get a hang of a particular angle, then move on to a different one. I do that quite a lot.
I guess, for me, Mark illustrates the most basic and generic kind of how to draw manga, that's why his videos are easy to get and you could keep using those what you learn. He also acknowledges finding your own style on how to get things done, like me. I seem to have developed my own guidelines for drawing people, especially the face. However, Sophie seems to have a graceful... erm... whatever. Her drawings just looks so natural yet gorgeous. The only thing the viewers want from her is for her to talk. LOL
I, too, have a crappy imagination. My mind is steam powered, I need to somehow do something in order to make my brain provide ideas, and are rarely good. If you could notice, most of my drawings are lacking creativity. Why? Because I tend to focus more on precision and accuracy of things, like the poses which makes me keep erasing and redrawing lines, and I tend to ignore another important part, the creative shit. But that is what I'm practicing right now, to create something appealing.
Thanks! But my college life is preventing me to draw. I only draw when there is a flexible time. XD I would appreciate it greatly if you'd tell about me to your friends. It's not bad to have people supporting me, then again, I would support them, too. I think I won't be making videos. It's just that my reluctantly chosen career prevents me to. But I think it would be nice if I could.

Mark keeps saying he isn't funny, but actually he is. LOL He's awesome in more ways than one. Oh, and I did notice that Sophie has her own art style. But hey, that's what makes her different from the rest.
Yes! Yes! The freaking background. That's what's hindering me from winning any contest. Sure, my OC is cute, but what more? XD Well, I really need to practice on my background skills. I hope I get better at it.
Well it is, actually. Especially if you're taking a big ass major degree. Like for me, I'm taking accounting, which is quite a pain in the ass. LOL It takes up most of my time. And probably, it will keep taking my time. LOL

Yea.
and mark is amazing, I watch his videos every week hes kinda funny and hes really amazing. I wish I used guide lines XD I really just dont know the correct measures of the body to be honest lol. I was never a big fan of Sophie she seemed to have an artstyle that didnt fit my taste to well but she was still really good.
Idk I dont think your drawings lack creativity, I mean the OCs you make are really good looking, all you need to make it better would be to have a background to be honest. your the opposite of me, I dont focus at all on accuracy XD I guess my suggestion to make something more appealing would to put more of a background to be honest other then that your stuff is really great, your more talented then your average joe.
Is college really that much of a hassle? I'm still in highschool and have alot of drawing time as well as doing other hobbies, I always though college was less work then high school, well maybe it is in the united states, idk about you though. your career prevents you from making videos? im sorry if this is personal, but why is that?
