So, after a terribly long absence, a friend of mine asked to see my artwork. I showed him what I had here, and his immediate response was, "Why did you stop?" My excuse was, naturally, that university life has gotten the better of me, and I just didn't feel that I had the talent anymore.

"Practice."

That's all he told me. Work on proportion. Don't give up sketching simply because it's not perfect the first time. And why quit with the wallpapers? They're apparently my claim to fame on this site, anyway, even if they are just a level above crap.

I can fix that, though.

Art is relaxing, and I've a lot of stress to stop worrying about.
