# About me
I'm rude, honest, to-the-point, easily confused, crazy although slightly insane and just talented.As any other person would say, "Wow, you're such a great artist, how do you become one?" I say I'm not and I still have a lot to learn. In school, I have picked up a lot of easy things and find art so easy the art teachers say that I'm at college level with my artwork and when I get to college for art, there won't be much for me to learn because I'm so skilled. Though these compliments are nice and do flatter me greatly, I honestly still think that I am not a great artist. I still say that practice makes "perfect" (because there's no such thing as "perfect" in this world). I have had many years of practice to draw, probably since I was about 3 years old when I started. I wasn't a great artist back then, but still skilled for my age. I have always drawn cartoon and didn't really draw free handed a lot (I still did draw free handed though, keep that in mind) until I grabbed a Sonic comic and started tracing one particular character a lot, Cream's mother. I was drawing on my bed at the time. I was curious that since I traced this character a lot, if I would get lines straight and get her anatomy correct. So repeating the patterns from when I traced Vanilla, I felt like I had accomplished an achievement. I was a huge fan, into Sonic a whole lot. So I drew the only thing I could draw; Sonic characters and I even made a fan character myself (total was 97 fan characters throughout the years) but that was up until 6th grade. Then I started watching InuYasha and became a fan as well, and that was the first time I ever drew humans, I think. I drew InuYasha and Kagome a lot but the fan-drawings didn't last nearly as long as Sonic fan drawings did. My father had always encouraged me to draw humans during the time I drew Sonic characters. My first original character was some gargoyle by the name of Vaatii. I had a history set out for him but as years progressed, I started to make other characters and make other characters I forgot about him. Then I made Alexander back in 2009. Alexander Otis Simmons (Otis; Otess, Oatiss, Otyss: boy's name; Wealth. Old Greek and Old English) but after about a week of thinking about it, I changed Otis to Oris. Besides all of that, I was already thinking about what I wanted to be when I came to High School back in 2009 (freshman year). I wanted to make a manga about all of my characters and I just need to set out the character's history and then I'll be on my way to making the panels. I drew everywhere I could during my lifetime; church, school, home, friend's house. I was and still am, obsessed with drawing and my characters that I have put some thought to. I am obsessed about being original and I am scared of fans and forever will be. Fans have been scary, especially in some series where the "pairing" they make up makes no sense (i.e; two characters that hate each other randomly fall in love? Dafuq?).
If you know me in real life, then the first word that would probably come out of your mouth about me is that I'm rude. I will not deny I am rude. Back in 6th grade, I was teased for the way I walked and the way I would be away from the world. I would say to myself back then I was a pitiful person. I had been bullied a lot, probably from day to day. Not only was I bullied but I was also popular. Reputation in school spread that I can draw pretty well and people I don't even know would defend me. It was a small school, so people would kind of figure out what I can do after 4 years of going there for education.
My inspiration to draw was when I was watching my mother draw her "characters" on a blank sheet of paper. I would sit by her whenever she draws and learn from her drawings. Then I would apply what I learned into my drawing and accept criticism from her. She would tell me what colors would "bring life" to other colors and what would look good with what. Then I would also look and "study" official anime work and would love to know concept art (I love concept art, by the way). I also played with the little bit of paint we have at home, but my very first painting was thrown away because I messed up on mixing. I didn't know how to mix what colors together.
Becoming "perfect" is impossible in real life, I say. In art, I say that a lot of things are perfect, even if you're the crappiest of artists. If you draw or if you write, then practice and don't compare yourself to those better than you. Accept their criticism and compare your previous artwork to your current one. I do that all the time and that motivates me to draw even better. I am actually progressing rapidly. I compared my work from 2009 and looked at my work now; major difference over the years. Now, I am a passionate artist and love each of her artwork (I will threaten anyone who threatens it, I've threatened a teacher before with a book when he said he would rip my work) when she isn't pissed off at it.

Oh Okay. Castle, about Saturday, what's the plan? Are one of you going to pick us up or do we have to get there early or what? Is there a "Practice", my dad says that there should be a practice or something. Sorry for such s long reply. DX
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You have to drive up there and no practice, get there early too.
We can't pick you up because we will still be busy even before the party begins. A good time would be around 5:30 pm or whatever. At least before 6, I don't know when we'll be there.
