I never would have thought that I would be posting my pictures on DA. I'm normally very selective about who sees them, mainly my friends and family. My friends always tried to get me to be more open about my drawings but I didn't want to. One of my friends would even make it a daily attempt to steal my sketchbook and show it around to our class and teacher. Most of them thought they were good but I still didn't wanna post them on DA. It wasn't until I got 1st Place on a painting I did for art class did my confidence get a big enough boost to actually attempt showing my drawings off. I'm still a bit aprehensive about who sees them and what they'll say but I finally feel confident in my pictures and that I have a talent for it. No matter what anyone says.
