I'm still a bit depressed, but I think I'm gonna come back now. No point in hindering artwork to the people who watch me cuz of my own mistakes.
I was impulsive and upset and I shouldn't have just left. I really didn't leave, I just had a "moment".
I graduated high school Wednesday and got an award as well, which only 3 people out of 215 graduates got. That was pretty exciting. I'm only 17 too.
I'll try to draw more and submit more, I noticed that it takes me a few months to do that and I apologize. Trust me, I'm not going to just leave my account!
My problem is when I sketch, I don't really "sketch".. I'll make a starting-out sketch with circles, then I make precise details afterwards, and most of the time, erase the circles I had originally. Perfectionism is a bitch @__@;;... lol.
Anyways, just wanna say that I appreciate the nice comments some people gave me on my journal before and the acknowledgement on my artwork from random people who come across my pieces. I appreciate it all!
Thank you!
*Big hug* Congradulations on graduating. That's such an accomplishment, especially with an award! Really proud of you. And I'm happy you're back.

Can't wait to see what you turn out!
...Perfectionism is a bitch! It's good to have high standards (That's what makes you grow!) but when they become a hindrance, it's a problem. Try to actually force yourself to keep those circles and guidelines. Try making yourself draw without being able to use an eraser at all. (Maybe make yourself draw with a ballpoint pen, for example...) Just to get yourself used to the idea that you can leave something well enough alone, if you don't have a choice. And maybe make yourself sketch with a timer. I've had to do up to as short as 30-second figure drawings before. They really loosen you up, so you don't become too precious about the work. And then you keep the freedom to really be expressive and take control of the piece. (Plus, you get faster at drawing.
