My (belated) deivantART Story
6 min read
I joined Da around three years ago I think, around the time I turned 13. Honestly, when I joined I wasn't really that into art. My friend 
had joined for art, and invited my sister, 
to join because she also liked art. I wasn't intrested at first in joining as well. That was, until I realized I could make this a competition. I would get more page veiws, more watchers, I would prove my art was better. In my family, lyn was always "the artist", I was just "the copier". I could look at something, a drawing or a real thing, and draw it really well. I couldn't draw from imagination though. I wanted to prove to everyone that just because I copied didn't mean I couldn't be "the artist" too. Because of those feelings I joined.
Unfortunetly, I was actually pretty dilusional. For some reason, I thought if I just posted enough pictures people would like me. And let me tell you, those pictures were TRASH. They have been erased from my deviantart history. They were like something a 4 year old would draw but with a mouse in msp paint, and I actually thought it was good. AT 13. This continued for a bit, and though some pictures were better then others they were all still terrible and still all drawn as quickly as possible, and I was still "losing" to lyn.
One day, a month or two after I joined DA I think, I was drawing a tree. Unlike a lot of things, I liked to slow down when drawing trees. For some reason, it just struck me that I should try and slow down and try to draw a person like the tree. It was Artemis Fowl fanart, and I drew the fairy holly on the tree. And it was actually kind of good! I could really be proud of that picture, but not only that, I had actually had fun drawing. Drawing had just been a convenient easy thing to get done before, but that picture showed me how fun drawing could be if you just put effort into it.
After that, things began to progress a lot more quickly. I took my time with my art, I drew the things I wanted to draw. I started making friends too.
, 
were some of the first. I really loved being able to make friends like that, it added a whole other element to DA and It was wonderful to have such nice friends. my irl friend 
also joined, which was great.
I started joining rp groups with my sister and making even more friends, I got experience writing as well. I learned how to work in a chat room, which also sped up my typing and increased my typos to a horrible extent LOL. I joined
and found an rp group that I could feel at home and was able to have fun with the community and become good friends with everyone. 
, 
, 
, 
, 
, 
, I was so happy to be able to go into chat and have fun with everyone. I was also able to meet my crazy friend 
through that group, who is not only a great artist but hilarious and weird and brings out both the best and the worst in me.
I've also made awesome friends like
, who is an amazing artist and will always be dot whether he's ormille or not. 
Who I should really talk to more because he's awesome and good at keeping me from jumping of cliffs. 
Who can be so similar to me its kind of creepy.
I'm so happy that I can be on DA now. I love drawing, and I love having these great friends. Even now my progress is still driven by that mentality I had in the beginning, "I'll do better if I can just put in a little more effort". My drawings have changed from being drawn in in 10 minutes to 8+ hours, and it's not really a competition any more. Now I can fully enjoy myself with my friends, not worrying about who's better. I still have a long ways to go, but I hope I can continue to draw with you all.
Gotta end this with some awesome artists I've found inspiration from!!
Was one of the first artists for me to ever feel was one of my drawing idols. I respect him a lot as an artist and a person, sorry for thinking you were a girl at first even after seeing pictures of you. LOL (plz marry me~)
As I continued to get into art, I really started getting into that beautifully conceptual-macabe sort of stuff. Erebun's art is really cool and I hope I can draw stuff like this someday. Also, can't go wrong with puns. Most of the time.

I really dislike the fact that journals are deviations now, it makes everything a lot more difficult.
Anyways, I'm doing a join me! Still working on the stained glass, but I'm almost done.
Feel free to come on in and chat! join.me/626-916-120
