HEY EGG, sorry if I'm bothering you, I just wanted to wish you a happy new year :D

Also wanted to thank you for making me get into drawing, I really haven't made much progress, but I'm glad I finally started! Drawing turned out to be one of the best things to help me with anxiety. You're a huge inspiration to me, just seeing how easy you can draw anything that comes to mind, this really messed with me in a very good way. It's very inspiring how easy you can express yourself through your drawings, and also have fun doing it. I said to myself that I would like to be like that one day HAUSHUSHSUSH

Anyway, Egg, I hope you're enjoying yourself! I made a drawing of Eggator to thank you for everything, I just love the little fella, and also thought you would like it! happy new year, Egg! :D

First of all; I’m carrying this with me in my heart. Not even kidding I’m printing that when I get home and putting it on my wall. I’m beyond touched and I really extremely appreciate it. My best advice on your art journey is do it for you. Make yourself happy, for reals.

On a different note! Drawing isn’t easy for me. I’m very proud of where I am and the ways I’ve managed to progress but art is all about building your skills and learning new things and that process has a LOT of growing pains. Ones that are worth it when you come out on the other end but pains nonetheless. I go through them constantly and they can suck ass. But! That’s the process, and all growth is good growth even when it’s difficult. I very strongly believe that art is something everyone can do if they’re willing to invest the time and patience. Easier said than done but still 100% fact in my brain.

I have things to show you. I’m at my mom’s house for the holidays so I’ve got access to my old closet:

This is a box in my closet full of used sketchbooks. Not all of them are fully used, I’ve given up on a couple, but these bad boys go back over 10 years. This is my oldest drawing in these books, I drew it when I decided I really liked drawing in 2009:

For the entire year, every single one of my drawings looked exactly like this. I don’t think I started drawing bodies til 2010. I also have a very on and off tradition of drawing Sonic the hedgehog every time I dig up a specific book. The oldest one here is 2010, youngest 2018:

I’m showing you these so you can see how long this has taken me. I didn’t wake up and say “I Will Make Expression”, flicked a pencil, and made it happen. I’ve looked up tons of tutorials and I often will look at cartoons, faces, and other people’s art and think “Why do I like this, what is happening in the face/body/colors/etc that makes it this way?”. And it’s been very fulfilling and heartbreaking and everything in between. Drawing isn’t easy for me! But I love it very much and I hope I keep finding new things to take a bat to. I also hope that when you hit a wall, you give yourself the slack and determination to find your way around it.

Also, for the first time since June 7th 2018

Happy New Year, dude!

You're allowed to take all the time you need to yourself if you need to, I respect that and would encourage it. We all care about you and want nothing but happiness for you. I sincerely wish you all the best, and hope to hear good news soon. Thank you for all that you do. ♥

This is really sweet and honest, thank you, I’ll keep working on it.
