I have read Terry's and Chanda's story-background, and I think it would be good to post mine. Even knowing it wont be so long, as I'm only 18.
Well, I always thought art in my life hasn't been very present, but I must admit It's a lie. I've never been good at drawing. Event the most simpliest things as "Stick guys" were a disaster, so I usually frustrated because of this. I had so many friends who draw fantastic things and I... well, just found something else to do, wich was playing videogames. I always liked to draw, but as I was bad at I ignored it, and when I tried to draw again I raged and threw my paper away.
I kept my whole life away from drawing, it was like a ghost, something I would love to do but I would never be able to. My entire life was like that, running away from me.
I grow up, enter highschool, started playing basketball and felt in love with it. I was a bit undersized for, but I didn't really care, I loved it, I knew that with time and effort I would get some good results, and it was true, I'm quite a good player now besides of my high, and I noticed that time and effort are the key for everything.
So now, a few years later and using the same filosofy as before, I decided to deal with me. As I was not only running from drawing, but also from feelings and so much other things, I started going to a psychologist for some personal stuff and entered the forum in order to have some reference about drawing.
My life right now is quite a mess, but a mess I'm trying to fix. I could say I'm starting to live or enjoy my life, a bit late but hey, it's never too late.
P.S: You people are very supportive, I must say you motivate me to continue drawing ^^ Thank you all, I hope I make some good friends here.
