This one was actually after a series of thumbnails, -I'm not a master at composition and was unsure of my current skill or ability in making it into a portfolio piece. I appreciate the advice and long answer. I hope you understand that It's all i can do some days.
With the life I have and recovering from illness I am not always in the mood to share in depth commentary, despite knowing I should. I am trying to grow, my sketchbook is filled with crappy drawings that I don't even share here, and I'm struggling to be a better artist each day I've had to relearn things that used to be easy for me, and find other ways around others. All I can do is what I can on my own, since I can't rely on anybody else. My focus some days is just surviving. I wish I could treat art like many of you others do, I wish I could see life (and even art) without equal parts suffering, and knew that choosing the right direction was actually right for me. I wish my hands didn't fight me to make things I know I can make in my head. I wish I can be more than what I am, a respected artist. I wish I knew this, and my life til now would be all worth it in the end..
I'm just a former foster kid.with a.dream, but I try not to say things I don't know if I'm capable of anymore and not let myself down or others, I just want to be the best I can be, despite not having the talent or resources (or even quality materials) or people surrounding that could help me grow. Sometimes all it takes though is one person, to make a difference, thank you. My life isn't over yet, nor am I giving up.
Right now my computer is actually too slow for the kind of paintings I'd like to do in photoshop and everything takes 3x as long, which is a bit of a bummer, and was partly why I started doing pixel art instead.
