Hey Mark
I am an absurd
artist in Dallas who has been teaching herself to draw (much to the horror of my
friends and family who have been scarred for life by one of my monsterpieces
I call Vagina Clown Car.) It is as horrible as it sounds but I love it because
it is mine and I honestly had no idea my pencil was capable of such dastardly
provocations. The sideways glares my work has inspired seems to be propelling me
onwards and downwards and that is ok because I heard a rumor all the cool people
are in hell .
I just HAD to write
to you to thank you for your wonderful tutorials on youtube. ESPECIALLY hands
which have been my nemesis...here is my dragon with cotton candy, I don't know how many fingers dragons have so I was generous and gave him 2 plus an opposable thumb just to be safe lest anyone try to steal his fluffy treat.
DANGER RUN ON SENTENCE LOOMING: I have no "basics" and can't find someone locally who can teach me without simultaneously draining my measly bank account but am a voracious reader so study books on anatomy and such but it is hard sometimes to translate the verbal to the pad so your visually oriented lessons have been a real blessing and my mom will blame you for the self portrait I am working on, which is me as Gulliverina maniacally licking an ice cream cone full of horrified slobber drenched clowns...hmmm the psychiatrists would have something to say about this but it's what's in my head and must be exorcised. When I finally publish a book I want it to be scratch n sniff and everything will smell like popcorn, cotton candy & circus peanuts.
Thanks for helping
me.
PS I know you said
twitter was best for reaching you but I had more than 140 characters worth of
gratitude and my clowns need room. Big shoes are such a pain in the
tookus....tuckus ...butt
