Israel is not a terrorist country and nor are many countries involved in the war on terror.if you look deeply into the terrorist problem you will see that America is not really fighting other countries as we are fighting mainly terrorist groups.it is like an "underground" war these terrorist groups are hidden among very innocent and religiously passionate people in countries that America may or may not be allied with.so it is not a war between governments but a war between OUR government and an individual group of people very widespread and dangerous but hidden among everyday people almost like that of a common gang.

Okay. First, it's flat-out boring. You overuse parallelism like crazy; I know exactly whats going to come next.
Second...Okay, so you're not happy with where you are. But you're not saying in any sort of profound way. The message is clear; but there is no artistry nor sophistication to it. There are different levels, different ways of getting a message across. This is comparable to bad-hand writing etched across a filthy blackboard. A great poem would be like cursive of silver and gold flowing on the poet's soul; rippling and distorting the peace of the mind. No, this whole thing feels fake and constructed. More whiny then profound. Just....meaningless. It's like, yeah, you're not happy with your life but so what? Whats your solution? What's your dream? And why should anyone care about it?

im not asking people to care and what is saying its not the start or fragment of something?frankly i thank you for being honest and for even replying but i dont care for your opinion

okay,so the no child left behind thing was a bit much but i really couldn't resist, it was perfect.if you get the joke please take minute to laugh but still try and take my poem seriously.

where am i?
my head is in the clouds
my feet are on the ground
my eyes are on your face
my whole life is a disgrace

where am i?
my mind is freaking out
my hands are shaking now
if i could leave this place
i surely would make haist

where am i?
my eyes now shed a tear
not from pain but fear
my dreams are so far yet so near
but sadly my ass stuck right here

WAIT,YOU HAVE XBOX LIVE TOO? cool my gamertag is XDM 40

That's okay. I really liked what you wrote, but it was a bit difficult to read as it was. I'm glad you took it the right way.
I think my biggest suggestion now would be to write in the past tense, given that people will be reading it after he has died. I'll let you do this one for yourself, because if I do it for you again, you're not learning anything, and it's not helping either of us. I believe you can do it, so if you're up for it I'd be keen for a re-read.

thanks man i will try to make my thoughts more readable, but im not too good at organization and even though it was random writing i suppose i cant still make something more of it

I re-wrote it, fixing your spelling, grammar and punctuation

thanks i appreciate that. i dont know why i made a suicide note without having suicidal thoughts but this was just a sort of rough-draft type thing i dont think ill do much with it in the future

he stands among the crowd, awaiting the gilatine.they ask the man "why? why did it come to this you could have done better" at the very moment of his life when the past finally catches him he stares a thousand yards and never comes back.of course they did kill him or, at least some of him.for the soul is too much of a beautiful thing to be held back by the heavy burden of a mortal body and for my soul to breathe the air of a new life will be enough to make up for the death of my human half.

yes but i dont want to draw her nude and im not a perv i just want to use her very unique look as an element in surreal art if you dont understand it than i will respectfully ask you to GET THE HELL OFF THIS THREAD UNTIL YOU CAN UNDERSTAND IT....just kidding actually i may not even do the project i just want to see what the art community thinks of the idea at this time

actually half of the art-portal is porn.but my reason for doing this is that this woman is a very dark-but good looking person and she would fit well in surrealist art.

yes it was alot of babble i admit i cant organize my ideas very well but the point of this is to see what the community thinks of the idea.and if people think its a bad idea then i may not post the art i think though that if i was to post art the art forum should be the first step.

oi just a random thing... i er... i found this girl on myspace that i want to draw this girl with an amazing look she is an...erotic model but she is all emo and stuff and looks so different from normal girls and its so amazing....demons are said to look very good, well if so i dont have to say more about her appearance but the way she appears to a male artists mind WOW.im not the kind of guy to do erotic art but im seriously considering surrealist art featuring violet virotica.if theres one thing ive studied in art class its drawing people and think i could make some awesome art based on this girl.tell me what you think about adding some surrealism featuring this girl in the art portal.and i will put alot more time and work of the art as people dont like my sketchy art style (i will keep that style for my pesonal-artistic-expression-shit art collection-thing)

If you dont want to use the so called "digital enhancing crap" then at least press a little harder with your pencil so it shows up on your photos.

look okay i admit its blurry and shit but im new to this online art portal shit so go easy and secondly i was tired when i took the damned pictures.thirdly my art style does look half assed as a result of this or my own failure if you could see it clearly im sure you would understand what i meant about vibe finally i will quit this new grounds art shit until i get a scanner maybe longer than that because im mainly hearing alot of the same shit in my reviews here.IM GOING BACK TO BED!!!!!!!!

on account that i got little comments that made me feel good about my art i will now chose to be immature and not upload ANY of this art i will make different art much much later on and then i wont upload those until i get a GODAMN scanner!!!!!!!! wow this place has worse critics then the damn politics blogs.who gives a shit about politics right now anyway?the only solution leaft is total reform

If you don't have anything but a cam, make photographs in a room with white light, make your lines blacker by inking them and pull out the contrasts with a digital editing program.

Then we'll talk.

i do know what you mean and im a newbie to this computer-shit but about the "pull out the contrasts with a digital editing program." i simply refuse to do any such thing as digitally "enhance" my art thanks for the tips though.

its okay my art is rather half-assed looking and rushed but i like that vibe to it though others may not. i do appreciate the art tips and i will consider them when drawing y'know half the stuff i do now is just me drawing,but in the old days it was alot less common for me to draw because i had to be inspired greatly to unlock my talent and that was rare so i took my time i skipped other stuff to keep drawing and it came out good but i like the way i do things my art reflects me it looks like i was on drugs (people think im always high) my art is neither here-nor-there sort of random like me and the messed-up lines are like my hair.my art is the way i am. but thanks its nice to hear tips from other artists.

ahh damn i forgot this last one i made today. its a picture fragment of some cool acending houses by a park i went to today.

yeah i know i take them with a really good amount of light though maybe its just the bad camera and i promise i should have a scanner by christmas

and also as note to the above picture its a mushroom cloud or atomic-bomb explosion and thats not the full picture.also that is where my nick-name shockwave comes from i can draw an almost perfect mushroom cloud.and a mushroom cloud was my first REAL work of art. also in my user name zakaev is actually my last name and yeah zakhaev is in call of duty modern warfare 1 but MY name is spelled differently see ZAKAEV=me ZAKHAEV=moder warfare i think zakhaev is a ukrainian rooted name while zakaev is a russian rooted name

last but not least the very strand of pain that turned me from a kid who draws in class to an artist this was made on the 4th of july this summer my dad commited suicide that was the first holiday since he went to sea (cuz he was in the navy) that i spent without him.its weird to say this but the circumstances were perfect my girlfriend hated me and we pretty much officially broke up that night,i had a brand-new sketchbook,and worst of all my father was dead. so like most artists i was driven into art by intense pain.i dont thank my dad for killing himself but it did end his pain and start up a talent i never seriously considered.in case your wondering the term "everything hurts" was an old email adress of his (before he met my mom) and we were both very depressed people im gonna miss him but he would give the world for his family but his past tore away his soul all thats leaft is loving memory

this one is pretty simple its the construction-site of a church being built near where i live

this is my emo 19th century wind-up toy drawing it can also be seen in my surrealist thread the knife is the part you would wind-up

now this is really just a half assed comic-type thing of me and my dog. she likes to wander away from home and the art may be simple but its very accurate i think anyways.
