You may use anything I posted on this blog, like drawings (although I doubt you will since they are all low quality), and you may do anything to them (even make fun of them), as long as you don't take credit for the original. You don't even have to say where it came from, as long as it's clear that someone drew it/wrote it/took a picture of it, and it wasn't you.

I mean, I'd still like to know if you use something that I posted here, but you don't exactly need my permission to do it.

Okay? Okay.

OK, I lied. I'm posting on Monday instead :P

Hello world!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH goodness. My back/neck/shoulder area is killing me. So I'm in my bed posting this instead of school.

So, as the little description on the right of the page shows, I'm pretty shy. I don't just go up to people and talk to them. It's even hard to ask a store clerk where the bathroom is. And considering how many times my family has moved, and how many people I've met, I am still very shy.

That's where you internet people come in! It just seems so much easier to chat with someone online, because they don't actually know who you are. You can say anything. So I'm hoping that by sharing some things here (except for a lot of personal information, like my phone number and address; I don't know if someone wants to kill me!) it can help me say things in real life.

And there is a reason why I keep saying I'm going to post my drawings. The first point of this blog was to get my pictures on the internet. I really love drawing. I don't think my art has to be super fancy to be impressive, or for people to like it. As you can see from the title, it's really quite a simple style. Yet it took a few years to develop it.

I draw very similarly to how a kid does (after all, I just barely graduated from being one, although I still act like I'm little). Round head, triangle dress, dots for eyes, etc. But I also take some things from manga, if you can't tell. I read a book on how to draw chibis, and I use some things from it: big head, eyes (sometimes I draw manga eyes), and hair, no neck/tiny neck, smaller body. I simplify some things even more. I don't draw ears or hands (they are so hard for me!), and only sometimes I put eyebrows and/or noses.

If anyone decides to give me tips (and those that do are probably gonna criticize me a lot) go ahead. I'm tough.
