I'm not really fond of drawing until just recently, I was much more interested in creating or writing stories, but unfortunately I'm not really good at putting imaginations into words, I'm better at expressing them through drawings. I discovered my talent in drawing when I was just a kid, my teacher asks us to draw a large type of animal and I drew an elephant and all my friends were like praising my drawing and it really inspired me. My dad also tells me that my drawings are brilliant and that I should keep it up, but you know puberty hits me and I lost my interest on drawing, which kind of makes me wish I should have just kept practicing because I really wanna be good at it now and I'm gonna make it a major career.
I guess right now my artistic style is clearly manga/anime influenced because I really love watching anime shows. Now I'm currently practicing to draw more realistic stuffs because honestly, MOST (not all) anime characters they all have the same faces just different hair, colors and clothes and I'm kind of getting tired of it. I want to sketch realistic characters but I don't want it to be super realistic like the one they make on portraits of real people, I still want it to look a little anime, so basically its like a Realistic Anime Drawing. I find realistic anime drawings sophisticated, sexy and mystically beautiful.
Right now I can't say that I'm really good at drawing (YET!) but I know it's never too late to practice and be better. I believe that if you're passionate and focused about a certain thing you will reach your goal. It's also alright to take a break sometimes to freshen up and shake all the stress away. Me, I try to daydream and slack off all day sometimes, everybody needs a break. Also try to stay inspired, find an inspiration to keep you motivated. And lastly always think out of the box and yes its okay to have childish imaginations :D-- It's just like what "Giorgio De Chirico" said-- "To become truly immortal, a work of art must escape all human limits: Logic and commonsense will only interfere. But once these barriers are broken, it will enter the realms of childhood visions and dreams."
