My first ever commissioned art piece of my life so far. I lack confidence in my art and most of my stuff is doodles, sketches, and mania drawings. I haven't drawn like this since I was younger. I went through a lot with my art from the time I was a kid up until now. I remember drawing every single day as a kid and enjoying the freedom it gave me. School turned it sour, I wasn't allowed to be as creative as I wished in art class, school kids took my art and would throw it away, call it ugly, rip it up in my face and chant "you can't draw" at me and it wasn't something that was taken seriously by those that I needed that from. It was just a hobby to everyone. So I stopped drawing. I stopped drawing for almost ten years because when I picked up a pencil, I would cry. I told myself that I wouldn't draw anymore because it was stupid and it would just be thrown away again. I went as far as to rip everything up after I drew it because there was no point in looking at it since it was trash. - - - Then I just decided to start drawing again. I would post stuff on here and I said to myself, whether anyone likes it or not, I don't care because I'm drawing because I miss it, not because I want anyone to like it. Lo and behold, a family friend asked if they could pay me to create something for them and I said yes. With that yes, I found myself creating this beauty right here and in seeing what I can do with what I have now, it just makes me want to get better and do more. I'm proud of myself and that's all I care about. - - - * * * * * * * * * * * Shout out to Helen for the amazing encouragement.
