Let me know what you think everybody!

Hi there,
My name is Danni King and I am a senior at Ohio University. My senior project this year is to create a new literary magazine, which I have titled "Shattered Illusions." One of the things this assignment entails is soliciting works from people to publish. I am a huge fan of your work and I would love it if you would let me publish this piece in my magazine. My magazine focuses on different points of view and interesting ways to look at the world. Unfortunately this magazine is an assignment and will be non-profit, so I cannot pay any of the authors or artists who submit work so I understand if you don't want me to include yours. I would need an answer by October 17th at the latest. If you are willing to let me use this piece then please email me a short author bio. If you dont wish to let me use your work then it is no problem, just let me know as soon as possible. I love your work!
Danni

Hi,
I really love this picture. I want to use it for a book I am writing. I changed it a bit but want to give you credit for it. I will it and give you credit with your real name but if not thats okay too. Thanks for sharing your art.

Well, I appreciate the compliment but I would be weary of you making any changes to my art. I myself am writing a book, which I'm going to illustrate, so perhaps if you ever get your book picked up by a publisher let me know and maybe I could create some original art for it instead.

The changes aren't drastic and you will get credit for the piece. If you want to see it let me know. I also contacted the actual girl you drew.

I use photo reference as much as possible. It helps me to get the little details that my imagination would never know or think about.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That is the exact same here, for almost every pic I draw I have a reference, even if I'm going to change it into someone else. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
awesome, maybe when I get to that age my drawings will be 'that looks like a photo' worthy. Hehehe. Happy b-day.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, as long as you don't stop drawing you'll just keep getting better and better. Seriously.

I can see the change, I take some work from early 2007 and compare it to early this year and I'm almost shocked at the difference. I grow alot because I draw alot, almost every day.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, you draw more often than I do! You'll have the same skill-level in no time. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hahahahaha, yeah, I'm constantly drawing, its a way to take up free time, to relax, as a fun hobby, and a good way of practicing and getting better.
