One year...I can hardly believe it's been one year since I joined deviantart... I can't believe it's only been around one year I started to learn to draw. I do not feel as though I've drawn that much and yet I've definitely improved. I still have many things to learn of course. Especially when it comes to draw without the "teaching" book. I'm only in half of it and it only teaches about grey pencils drawings but I still used colour pencils and did digital colouring, with no teaching, that too will have to be worked on... Still, I'm quite satisfied with my improvements. I mean when you go from this -->

to this -->

there's definitly an improvement. But that's also part of the book, start with very simple thing. Now I wonder if the first drawing would look better after one year... In digital too I improved.

I'd say so far the hardest thing is to draw moving beings (plants being living, I can't use that word) but I haven't arrived at that point in the book. We'll see how it goes once I'm there...

Now about deviantart itself. That too had unexpected turn outs... At first, I had told myself I would just post my drawings and do nothing more. I followed a few people, but that was it.... But once I did this, back in February,

I started joining groups and they became more and more. My favourites and people I watch flared up too. Then I had told myself I'd never create a group, but seeing there was no group about a main character of my fav video game franchise I....gave in two months...

. Even more recently, I broke another thing I had told myself. I wouldn't put here any fanfiction or writing, but one day, a bit over one month ago, I just felt like it... It's not my main aim and they should stay a big minority, but I still "broke" it. XD

They feel. They rememberWho said animals can not feel ? Can not remember ?
We, in our arrogance, assume that they almost immediately forget what happened. Believing a science that proves everyday its fragility, denying their previous truths for showing a new one as THE one.
But then why ?
Why is a kitten who got abandoned, lived in the streets for days, then found and adopted by new people, still eating like there are no tomorrow whenever they have food years after ? Finding no other way to express their happiness or joy, not by purring or rubbing against you but by rushing to their food, eating a bit of dry food before rushing to you again and once it got a bit attention again rushes again to the food and would do so - in its only way to show you its happiness - for eternity if you wouldn't stop it.
Why is the same kitten scared of cars once you make the movement to get in the car with it ? Natural fear ? It wasn't for four other cats.
Not only scared of cars, but of anything unknown, not even feeling safe i

It's not my main aim though and they should stay as a big minority.

Much changes, but...I don't see them negatively... Who knows what will happen in the coming year ? This all is nothing more than a reflection from myself about the past year and how much it surprised me. Very personal so...but this is a personal journal and isn't it what it is for ?
