It's embarrassing how long I've avoided dA. How long has it been anyways? A year? Two years? I don't even know. Well, let's just say that life has been flying past me at an unbelievably fast pace for the time I was away.. and I'm not even sure if I know what I'm going to do when it stops moving so quickly. I came back to take a breather. To stop obsessively looking at my schoolwork, my grades, my crumbling social life, my relationships.. to just stop and do nothing. That's kind of what I've been doing with other sites, like tumblr, but it's nice coming back here. It's still the same old, I suppose. A few improvements, but progress is nothin

What do you do to improve? o__o I've decided to be responsible and practice drawing with the help of my lovely friend, !cindimongo (https://www.deviantart.com/cindimongo) ^^ I seriously need some help.. :iconotlplz: Is it just practicing by re-drawing sections of art in your own way? :iconbummiesplz: Or.. it it just reading a variety of different mangas and developing your own styles? Any other suggestions? I've tried a few, but.. I guess I'm not very motivated? :iconimhappyplz: ... Right. Anyways.. Please help & comment~

Riiiight. Late post and I've been meaning to make a journal entry about this, but of course, laziness has come back to haunt me forevermore.. :sleep: Well, happy holidays to anyone who is looking at this! Happy Holidays, by all means, is: :bulletred: MERRY CHRISTMAS! :santa: :rudolph: :holly: :xmas:  :alienxmas: :snowflake: Yeah, yeah, I'm late by a day. Uh-huh. It's COMPLETELY MY FAULT THAT I DIDN'T WRITE A JOURNAL ENTRY ON CHRISTMAS DAY... Yeah, anyways, I got these amazing Gap Slipper Boots for Christmas :typerhappy: They're boots.. but [here's the exciting part] THEY'RE SLIPPERS! :faint: Yeah. xD :bulletgreen: New Years, huh.
