My Bio
I'm 27. I started using art as a way to deal with emotions when I was hospitalized after a suicide attempt. I'm happy to say that while my art is simple, it keeps me in a happier state of mind.

Other Interests
I also carve replicas of wands from Harry Potter!
I've had people ask about the varying quality in my work. Some of the lines are cleaner than others; some lines are very wobbly and uneven. I have Guillain-Barre Syndrome, it's an autoimmune disorder that attacks my nervous system. I'm constantly in minor pain which gets easier to deal with as years go by but I do suffer from spurts of muscle weakness and as a result, the quality of what I do isn't always as good. As of right now, half of my right hand is numb but I'm trying to work during this flare up. So, that's why some stuff looks great and some looks mediocre.

In hospital, I learned that many people are most creative when they're sleep deprived because the logic portion of the break shuts down and the creative side takes over. So, I'm giving that a go! I'm curious to see what I can do when I lose all sense of logic.

My new account is inkesarts
Welcome to dA! I hope you'll have a lot of fun, and that you will be cheered up by art whenever needed!
By the way, I think your line art is impressive! I wouldn't be able to do that without slipping or misplacing anything
Dank! I'm happy I finally made an account here.

I slip A LOT when I'm in relapse but for the most part I've been okay.

Did you take formal classes to learn to draw?
You're welcome! Well, I wish that your passion for drawing gives you the strength to keep going in tough times!
I took classes but they're certainly not necessary to evolve in art, because that's something everyone does on their own. Though it is recommendable if you like being around people with similar intrests.
Thanks for the watch. =)
You're welcome
Thanks for the fav. n_n
