So it's now come to this....

Tue Oct 13, 2009, 9:28 AM
  • Mood: Wow!
  • Watching: Discovery Channel
  • Drinking: Pepsi
Been doing a lot of thinking lately. Yeah, I've already dropped my pencil for quite a while but it seems it's calling out to me again, so to speak. To put it simply, the artistic juices is slowly coming back to me.

Since I haven't held a pencil for some time, I need some practice. I have lot work to do to bring back whatever it is I've left off. Now what I'ma do is ask for some suggestions on what I should practice on drawing before getting into THE GOOD STUFF, if y'all know what I mean. Perhaps I should do a version (no backgrounds) of some popular characters or to those who put me on their watch list, maybe I could do my version of their original character(s) -- as long as they suggest that to me, that is. I guess that's a good place to start. Just note me on that one. This isn't a paid commission, by the way. If y'all like the idea, let me know what ever feedback y'all have, aight?

My only purpose is that I need something to practice on. This is gonna take a long time to get it all back but I'm up for the challenge. I think my mindset, is shall we say -- positive. Seems the passion is slowly coming back.

Inspired? Maybe. I guess I sort of missed it. If I'm getting some positive support from people then I guess I'm gonna keep it up until I'm a 100%. That's all for now folks. 'Till my next entry.

Be easy.

-Roy

bro, nice gallery. although nanghihinayang talaga ako to see a fellow artist giving up on drawing. don't stop, bro. this is a God-given talent. maswerte ka nga at meron kang skills na ganito... yung iba ay gustong magkaron ng talent sa pagdodrawing. keep on, bro. you got good style actually and honest to goodness, mas magaling ka pa sa kin.

Dude thanks for the watch and fave, btw. Drawing again did cross my mind. Right now, I'm just focusing my other endeavors at the moment. I just peeped out your page -- you draw way better than me, Seriously. I'm glad liked my deviations even though it's hardly updated. Thanks again for the nice comments. :D

thank you for the watch sir.

No prob. Thanks for the watch, too. I think I saw you at the MCC. Went there on day 2 actually. It was nice to see some of my friends there selling their indy comics. I'm happy for them. It was also good to see my mentor -- your sarge -- Gilbert Monsanto.

As for your comment here on my journal, this post has been for a while and I guess it needs some updating. Going back to your comment, that thing is already a thing of the past. I know some of my friends still urge me to draw again but I feel I've already lost my passion for it let alone draw a nice looking sketch. I struggled as an artist through the years. Obviously, my page is hardly updated with new deviations. To put things simply, I really had to let it go and face the facts that it's gone for me and my focus is already directed to my new passion in a form of sports writing. At least, there's another thing I can do that I'm also good at. True, it's hard to please everybody especially in the comics industry. I guess I'm not lucky when it comes to art contests. Despite it all, I still thank those few people who have appreciated my artworks. Maybe I'll try to do some doodles once in a while but I guess that's only as far as I could go.

Since you're one of the new breed of artists, you'll learn a lot from Gilbert. He helped me improve and elevate my craft. Don't hesitate to ask for art tips from him. He'll gladly help you out. Trust me. Anyways, that's all. Thanks again for commenting and for the watch. Oh and btw, please don't call me sir. Hahaha!! Be easy. :D

Wow! thank you for visiting our booth :3 and yes Sarge is really great :D and i already learned a lot not only form sarge but from all of them ^^

Still kuya roy :D i still don't agree na mg stop ka sa pagdrodraw.

you know what kuya roy. =P you're not doing it for them you're doing it for yourself. that is if you really love art :]

it's true it's hard to please anybody, but you didn't learn those things or LIVE for them hahaha. it's not about if they will like it or not, it's not about skills, it's about the love you put in your every work.

i really think drawings can be found anywhere. but you can only say it's an art if it really comes from the heart. :D

whew! ;]
