Thanks for compliment, but I've only been drawing for about 3 years and I am your age. I didn't grow up with this and I certaintly wasn't born with it. I've still got ALOT to learn. Studying artists such as yourself is a huge boost to my development.:)

For 3 years, you've got quite the jump on most I've seen. You have the calling. Dont quit!

Thank you, Tony - I really mean that. I'm actually a writer first. Drawing was a "cosmic accident" of sorts. I'm working on a short novel that I would like to illustrate, though not like a graphic novel. I really got the inspiration when I read Sephen King's Dark Tower series a few years ago. In the later novels he started dotting the book with illustrations from various artists. I would like to do that with my own work, or maybe even collaborate with someone who could "post produce" my sketches. I absolutely love the work you do and your vision is truly a gift. I read a critque or 2 of yours and you have an extremely perceptive eye. Maybe we could collaborate some time.

Definitely. I know exactly what you're describing and talking about. Your passion for the creative shows and thats refreshing. I greatly appreciate the compliment. We should look into that in the near future. I'm also working on a novel myself, so I'm sure we'd have much to discuss. :)

Absolutely. I'd love to hear about the novel you're working on some time. Don't tell me - it's a romance, right? :lol: As you alluded to - it's great to hear from people with unique outlooks and twists on concepts, as well as a passion for their art. True passion can't be taught or learned and it always brings out the best in every artist and it's obvious that you've got it in spades. :)

Oh yes, a romance, How did you guess? Ha! I'm sure you're working on the same.:dance:
Well, I do appreciate the compliment. One of the reasons I've stuck with dA, is that I like to surround myself with others that have the same passion for art that I've had my whole life. We should talk writing and art soon.
