Ah that made me smile! Wish I thought of that.

Lol oh well... did you send something else instead? Or was it only the panel? Hm i just hope that the chocolate bars didnt melt, because that would really mess up my panel AND that CD album i also sent with... and last but not least, Luis' chocolate experience x_x

Hehe. Well, gotta start somewhere. Im sure that you mustve gotten better by now. Yeah i should follow the desire of making art instead of thinking that theres a competition where we either win or lose. I almost went downhill because i thought that i was losing my ambitions to do the art, or that i didnt had what it takes to make art. Time was passing by, and i felt so lost... but i feel stronger than ever now. Thanx for the support ultim8dude!

Jepp tusen takk mann, jeg er ganske takknemlig^^ Rodt hvitt og blaatt, aldri glem det xP

No "good luck" to me too?

Oh PandaMime, i havent forgotten you!^^ Keep the wheels spinning, do your touch like you do in the collabs, they turn out pretty neat! Ive also learned that theres ALWAYS room for improvement, if you feel down or if you feel like turning it up a notch. You should keep it up^^

Youre gettin deeper in art, keep it movin. Best of luck mate, you will blow like a rose one day if you try your best, just wait and see! At least im on it xP

Hammi I went to your sheezy, you have two watchers called: knuckelsfan and furrynaruto,
When i created my first account and submitted a couple of oil paintings I did, the first comment I got was : "WTF its kool tho". This is because it had completely thrown their world upside down that something instead of an animesque style had been submitted. Many sites can be bad but sheezyart is the very pinnacle of stupidity.

I might troll those users I mentioned above now, cause im like that

Thats simply correct! Those two watchers i got just watched me, without me knowing why they did that... except that they apparently "really luv your art!! :3". Your conclusion is worth a mouthful indeed. DA isnt any better either. Just as Bug said, users who develop ego when making art, turn into crazy internet ego maniacs. Its like their world starts shrinking. I will never forget that. Ugh XS

and one other thing, you art isn`t bad. it`s actually really good, i told you so on DA right?
what gets you down, is exactly what gets me : we tend to see artists like JohnnyUtah, Razac etc etc we see our drawings..and frankly, compared to them, they are shit...while what we tend not to see is what we have done so far... notice what he so called "noobs" draw, and remember that once were like that too, it`s just a matter of practice, time and effort.

i really really hope you manage to get as good as you want, and acheive what you want to acheive. and i`m sure, in time ou will. as i probably might.

Yes... youre right man. Absolutely. I remember. Sorry for falling too soon... but my motivation got emptied pretty quick for some reason, 'till it said SLAM. I mean, JohnnyUtah(and his dick jokes xD) is really great, but thats when i start dreaming. Then the dream gets shattered when i snap back to reality. Then the depression/frustration increases, and the selfconfidence gets dried up. But now, i will not let this happen again! All this support has meant much for me, and i will keep on doing my thing. I wont let it take control of me because ive now been adviced and guided as much as it couldve been done. No bitchin without a good reason! Well, i may sometimes express how exhausted i am, but giving up art? NOT! :D Good luck to you too TomAzza!

Hmm... good points there. I guess i was down that much that i didnt see that way. I need to change my attitude and forget everything else that comes in my way. Thanx for showing understanding, and thanx for recognizing my art. Thank you.

Lol well theres nothing wrong with leftys. Maybe a lil strange for those who are righthanded, but hell, we are all born different. What if i told you that i eat thru my nostrils... which i dont XD THAT is strange. I eat with my right hand, others feel comfy with doing it with the left hand. Eherm anyways, the art games youre suggesting sound wicked. If i only HAD friends in real life who could keep up with me in art ^_^; But thanx for the ideas, they sound creative! Thanx for the huuuge reply... lol poop xP

Woah Razac, great flashbacks. They seem to be very useful when your thoughts feel like stuffed up one day. That leads to confusion and frustration. I think your examples just about hit the spot. And oh, you draw excellent, ive noticed that. I guess everyone starts out crappy. The thing was that i was exhausted and tired after keeping it on for long time while lacking confidence , and i eventually got frustrated. Then my trust to art was emptied. But now im finally standing tall again^^ Thanx a bunch for the morale boost!

Omg... youre right. Youre speaking the truth here. I didnt know that you were... wise xD Each point youre making here clearly makes sense. You know... i kinda had a strange feeling, when you just said that people think that theyve rosen to celebrity status, just because some few have bookmarked them. Ah shit >.< I dont wanna go there. I can almost feel the ego when you mentioned it. IT BURNS. Me internet ego maniac? No thanx! O_O I will keep on tweaking and improving my art, and i will try not to compare my stuffs with others(otherwise i will eventually lose my mind and give up... again -_-). This lecture just got me thinking big time. Thumbs up Bug, thanx a million! :D

Lol, and i thought that Osama was from Mars. Now ive seen everything.

Wow look at those ears xD Hey this looks sorta decent. I like the head shape. I think this is an okay start. Dont hesitate! You do want to improve your style right? Then keep making more! Try making the ears a lil smaller. And if possible, you can add some more shine to the pupils. Or, you dont need any details there after all, brown circles look just fine^^ Make more! :D

8/10

Hm... look cartoonish, i like that. What about... 8/10? I would recommend a steady but relaxed grip on your pencil and modify the lineart on the street. Otherwise, good job^^

Rofl. You just wrote my last name in that pic XD Kickass art man, keep them coming!^^ You are good. No, listen to me and read my lips: YOU ARE GOOD. There xD

Hey Delta!

Never forget, that YOUR ART STILL ROCKS! Never think that youre nothing, youre no doubt still strong up in this. No one here can beat this so far :D Just wanted to let you know that^^

And keep up with the coloring. Youve STILL left a decently good impression on most NG members here. Never give up! You pwn! :D

My vending machine also sucks in comparison to others, but I always try to think:

(biggest mod-ass licker ever)

At least you dont have the unoriginality of Lock Crew OR the drawing capacity of KK!

Thanx! I hate it when things arent real if you know what im saying. If you want to do art, it SHOULD be your trademark. The LL and the KK merely do their stuffs for fun... i guess thats their trademark. Unoriginality? I think so too. Thanx for the advice!

I was nearly at the brink of leaving art, until you guys showed up. Im simply overwhelmed over that im gaining that much support. Honestly i never expected that. My eyes are now wide open, with renewed ambitions thanks to you all. I apologize for my bitchin, but there was so much i had to release after holding onto it while trying to improve my art. Like, KA-BOOM, now its all over in the thread. But still you were sticking up for me. My warmest thanx^^

Hm looks good for a start. But dont you have a scanner? o.o I would love to have a closer look on it. If i would rate it now, i would say 6/10^^ Find a scanner and let it rip! :D

*BRRRRRRR... DING*

Omg... so many replies after a day. Holy Jesus and Muhammad, ive never seen so many grabbing my arms just to get me going. I... my throat felt so funny as i was scrolling down from McJesus post to volit0s post. You guys... lol im gonna try not to get emotional, but holy cow... THANX T.T lol. Thanx for all your replies, i read each and every of them. For each post i read, my confidence and spirit grew. I found MindChambers post really... encouraging. Thats when i dropped my spoon when eating, and he showed me... an enlightening way, just to put it that way. And he showed understanding for my situation. I could almost burst out crying... not literally, only an expression xD Thanks MindChamber. And thank you too Zekey. And McJesus. And Evgeniiextremist, who advised me not to follow the "Wonchop and DA/SA path". And ALBQjew. And Vortex00. And TurkeyOnAStick. And 1sparrow. And PandaMime. And Havayosunu. And volit0. Thank you all! Theres no word in how grateful i am to you. No one, i repeat, no one have ever pulled me up that much during my sketching "career"(only a few). Especially not a bunch of NG members who instead of flaming, but giving a major thrust to my spirit. Instead of mistaking me as emo, you stepped up like a team(one for all, and all for one).

You all have made a bigass impact on me, seriously. You really stand up for fellow artists when theyre down. Youve touched me deeply. Youve put a smile back on my face :) Im fully convinced now. Youre right! I should keep my head up, keep up developing my art. I feel so high and shaky right now lol. Now im starting to believe in myself again. I will bookmark this thread as a reminder for me when people here stood up for me. Ive been reminded of why i started doing art, and why i should continue. I will never forget that! YES! I WILL KEEP UP MY ART! I WILL I WILL I WILL!! THANX A MILLION PEOPLE!! Now, im going back to my Japanese Vending Machines drawing again! ... after doing my homework XD Again, THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!^^ I owe you all one :D I love Newgrounds.

Warning: this thread is friggin deep, only read if you got a spare life.

Yes im bitchin, if you dont like it then i dont care. If interested, you may stay and listen to what i got to say k? Im not going to submit any other art here without anyone asking for it or whatsoever. I just want to talk and empty out my heart and my thoughts about me and art, which is also why i tagged this thread with [Talk]. I just simply want to discuss my situation and issues with art, so dont flame me without an undeniable reason. You may sorta call this an "art blog" or something. Now, ive been feeling pretty low lately. Ive put some effort here and there on various sketches. All i got is a pencil, an eraser and a bunch of blank papers. I started off the first time making fanarts of an anime i like, then i moved on making other stuffs, some selfportraits, some furry tributes etc, and they eventually ended up being submitted online. When the Art Forum was founded, i started showing off my work lil by lil. When the collabs started rising, i found something to do concerning art and i joined some of them, and i also got in on the NG Sketchbook Tour (mad props to Luis). But then over the weeks, ive been struck with art blocks and other things. Ive been browsing thru BBS instead and looking on others art and giving critiques. Im starting to think now that my art sucks dick...

I thought that if i just continued sketching, i would get better and stand out more like a decent pencil artist. But now after what ive seen here, im outmashed. What the hell was i thinking? Did i really think that i could impress anyone here with my rotten pencil sketches? With dozens of things to do in my life, i got my hands full enough than sitting and doing "art". I made a bunch of sketches for use in collabs here, but who cares? Me? There are so many bright artists out there, but im starting to realize that im not one of them. And when i say bright, i mean true artistic creative artists with lots of power in their handgrips leading their pencils on their canvas/sheets. Can this art thing possibly be my call? I once thought. Im now doubting on my so called "drawing skills". Im not an artist, im a dreamer. Ive done so many mistakes in my sketches. Dont misunderstand, i really appreciate the advices and critiques, but it has almost lost effect on me. No matter how many times i try to correct my art, it still looks like crap. Thats what it is. Because i always do something wrong on my sketches, my art stinks. I actually thought that i was doing great, but now i better put my hands down.

And i was going to participate in the Japanese Vending Machines art contest, so i started drawing, even when i already felt low and was full of doubt. Then i just stopped. No point in continuing, because i better admit it. Im outmatched, compared with the others. Everybody else is ahead me, and im way behind. That convinced me, and 2 days have passed. I cant move on. I cant keep up. I need a reason to continue. I have disappointed myself thinking that i could achieve something by holding on to this shit pencil and this shit eraser. I feel like my "art" is overlooked. What should i do? Whore out the same sketches over and over again? Hell no. My motivation has hit the bottom. Am i hearing a countdown? Does it matter if i stand up again? Or should i just rot down in the basement of Newgrounds? Maybe i should just give it up and put away the pencil, and continue with voting on flash movies and stuff. How could i think that i was worthy as a sketcher? I look at mine comparing with the others and i go like... bleh. Newgrounds got a load of good artists with cool blend style, and mine is definately not a part of this. Ive tried to do my part as good as possible, until i realized that the whole thing ive done is for nothing. How can i call all this shit "art"? Ive almost lost it. Hammi4Real? Yeah right... Im nothing.

Since the rules say that i have to post my artwork for advices and comments, ill do that. Bleh -_- You may comment or whatever, like if anyone would really care. If you decide to ignore this thread, then i clearly understand that. Im sorry if i wasted your fucking life with this if i neccesarily have to make it clear. You may move on and forget that i ever made this thread.

Erm heres another one that i did recently... yeah. Looks goofy.

Hm... hasnt mine reached there yet? I hope the mailmen havent been messing around with it. It better be kept out of heat tho... xP Just keep listing the names up, im waiting for you to confirm my package^^

Fofl that one pwns XD Look at his face xP

Recent drawing? Well okay here, something random that i was doodling during a class. Dont ask, just... i was bored okay XD

Oh btw, you may edit away all the text on my sketch if you dont want them, i just wrote them on for fun xD Just use Photoshop and erase them away if you feel like they wont suite to be a part of the collab, and just leave the drawing by itself :P

sorry offtopic.

The situation is kinda complicated and too... bizarre to be told. Lets just say that Zekey didnt deserve the ban, the mods of DA were just being bitchy that they massbanned almost everyone they came over. Arrogant fucks -_-

Lmao. If thats the case then... meh.

Lol odd. Well, maybe 4/10. The heads are too small, one of the arms are thinner than the other one and that guys back is sticking out like a camel. Heh weird tho, but still good enough for a tiny tiny tiny chuckle :P

*sigh* ... yep i forgot to post the pic. This MUST be a common disease of NG users x_x

Alright here it is :P

Yikes, the collab is almost complete?? Jeezuz gotta get started then x_x WAIT UP o_o

Ooh... some interesting angles there xP Hm but the first one is a photo right? The two last of them look ace.
