I never wanted to draw. I never thought about drawing. I always envy people who made good art*. 

Once upon a time, there was a program called photoshop on my computer. I barely used it, only to restore old photos and other minor editing. Nothing advanced. One day, I decided to experiment and explore the program a bit more. I wanted to create something, something to be proud over. A piece of work you've spent a lot of time to create. I started to watch some space themed tutorials on youtube and other websites. It sure took some time. But later on, I created my very first planet in space. It didn't look professional, but I was proud (sort of). I continued and ended up with a picture like the one below. This is when I started to create

Space



Castle
After trying out creating space themed art, I tried some photo manipulation. But I only made one piece (I can't remember if I made something else). I really like the "yellowish" colour on this one



Monsters
Later on, I tried using the pen tool in photoshop. It was really weird and it felt like I was on a spaceship with unknown functions. This is when I started to make vector art. I started out with tracing small pictures to learn how to use the tool. Then I started to create my own art. Simplicity is what I went for. Clean and simple. Since I am really bad with details, I decided to keep it really simple while it still looked appealing to me.



Dango
Once I started with vector art, I made several art pieces. It was hard to stop, I had so many ideas. Some pieces I haven't finished yet. It was fun



Hourglass
Some of my art in my gallery was made when I felt good or sometimes bad. We all have good and bad days ^_^



This is my latest work. Made in April. Haven't made anything since then. We could say that I got this thing called "art block"? Or my creativity just went swimming in the bottom of the ocean. Whenever I start photoshop to make something, I close it. I nearly didn't finish this art piece below. I'm not sad or depressed, It's just hard to create something (=

Since I'm writing so much already.... Short life update.
I've been trying to find a job for a year, but with no luck. I had 2 internships though. One that I left and one I enjoyed. Next month I'm going to start school. I'm going to become a "teacher". The education lasts fir three years.

And I would like to thank some people for making dA such a great experience for me. I haven't talked to some of you for a very long time. But you deserve to be in the list since you're all awesome in your own unique way. I'm always open for new conversations with everyone! I hope I didn't forget someone:

Honorable mention
If you like short and unique web comics, and other cute stuff, check this person out DoodleForFood. From what I can tell, she really likes to make art and share it with all the people in the world. 

Thank you for reading

Have a nice day


*Any art can be good. It's just your personal opinion that decides if it's good or not. "Bad" art can be good art for someone else
