I've spent years avoiding drawing.  Seriously. Years.  Because, I thought I sucked. And, well, I lived with someone who basically thought that using my talents for art wasn't really useful.  So, there was more encouragement to NOT do any. Over the past year, my boyfriend has been encouraging me at least daily, to "Just do it." Go out and draw, and do what you love, and if you can make money off it, DO IT.

I know that I'll never get better at what I do without practice.  And, I'd like to start taking commissions for artwork, but don't really have a following that would take me up on it.  So, what's a guy to do?  At this point, I think the best thing I can do is to continue posting when I can.  Maybe work up a portfolio of the popular things...

I decided though, to go back through an wrack my brain to find the sites that I originally found those sites through.  And, lo and behold, they still exist.  I think that it's been so long that nobody there recognizes me anymore, in spite of the fact that my name has never changed over there...and there was a reboot, in which I managed to snag my actual name a
