Is bad, awful, crap, doodles, and anything else...
The story behind that is much lighter, OK my friends and i were in weight training fifth period, talking about collage, Digi-pen all the way (since we are all artist and animators) and such came up about art books, we have never seen each others before , Logins was pretty good, better than mine, but then my other other friend ,Diante, showed his and it scared me a little, his shit was PRO! lines=perfect,manga =perfect, shading perfect... he was so good he looked like one of the people they use to advertise art institutes, turns out he drew all during summer school and Math Class! 19 SS, and me a 15 sophomore naturally asked advise "how do you get the lighting on the nose?" he responded "noses are really hard, i learned through drawing a lot of people." That didn't help much...but then he said "don't worry, man, i couldn't draw faces until I was about 17, when you get older shit kinda just clicks in place..." So i tried to draw a face, a realism face, and found out i was bad., i have a natural talent for drawing, my grandma was a graphic designer (beautiful) and grandfather a sketch artist (accurate), but mine is just...unrefined...clumsy. Which is why i am making this post, I need help, not help via tutorials or just drawing a little each day. But by really studying and learning! filling up sketch pads is bad unless you know what you are doing. Using a tablet without knowing how to draw or paint a face was a terrible mistake, and nearly destroyed my own way of thinking. I need to start out small...

Picasso is an undisciplined child among real artist...
In order to do crawl the pathway of an artist, I must get level 1 and 2 down pat before a graduate high school in 30 months (2.5 years)
Which is why I am leaving Newgrounds for now. I'll be back at the end of the school year, maybe sooner depending on if i get an artistic Revelation and it all just "clicks and sticks"
So see ya, keep it real while I'm gone, Shadman

Edit:>wow i cant believe i posted something like this, thinking back now i do not regret it. Only now do I realize how shattered and childish my artistic vision is to a blank canvass...
I am young, yet my will is resolute. I WILL become better, and if I die trying,
then i die knowing i have still have more to learn...
