I love drawing statues and paintings especially those from the Renaissance and Mannerism period. I love Michelangelo's line drawing technique though emulating it is a long shot. When I'm inspired to draw I pick up anything on my desk though most of the time, they're just cheap ball pens and pencils that should have retired months ago. Since my religion forbids it, I wasn't given money to buy decent drawing materials so most of my drawings here are done on old, discarded papers which I recycled. I got them from my neighbors who didn't know the value of paper but knew that I needed them. My inspiration rarely visits me so I don't usually force myself to draw if I'm not in the mood.

When I started working I was introduced to the internet and thus, I got into this site to share what I've been doing. I'm not saying I've got talent because judging from the artists that I read and studied, I am just another wannabe. It's been months since I seriously worked on a drawing so I have to start all over again each time I try an artwork meaning-I have to recall my techniques each time as the work progresses.

I am 25 years old, a struggling artist trying to make a living to help my family meet our everyday financial needs. In short, I've been poor 25 years of my life but I still feel lucky because if I was born rich, I never might have known the value of existence. I might have been banging girls in the club right now if I was born rich and that would have been pitiful.

I am very friendly though not really approachable because I don't really look that friendly most of the time when I'm thinking of my problems. But I don't know how I do it because I find happiness in the middle of crisis. I'm goofy perhaps or I just couldn't stand a day without smiling. I hate people with a lot of ego. I hate air-heads and hypocrites because I easily put my trust in most people I meet and it crushes my heart when I find them to be lying to me all the time. Imagine the effort of investing your emotions just to find that they weren't really into you. Damn it!

To anyone with problems who happen to read this--nothing can knock you off your feet when you're already on your knees.

How can I be better? My materials are sub par. I don't use good pencils or high quality ball pen. And my technique is just the traditional line drawing. I dunno how to create shadows and use colors. Please don't make fun of me. Wahehehehe. I just felt a pat on my back from an artist that I admire.

The only high quality tool that I use is the paper, my ballpens are regular bics.
And I truly believe that you are much better than me. I couldn't have drawn your Laocoon in a million years. My sense of proportion and anatomy is awful, I kind of have to make up everything I do and try to conceal all the cock-ups... No pat on your back my friend, but a true sign of admiration.
