I've Made My Decision
I've decided on what course I'm gonna settle myself in. I've chosen art. After a lot of thinking, science isn't really my stuff. Of course I'm always fascinated by it, but I think that fascination will keep on going and will not be taken up as a career. Of course, I would regret not having the chance of cutting people up, but, that's okay.

Now, since I'm taking art, I have no idea what I wanna do. There's just so many things! I guess I just have to follow where it leads me to. Yeah, I'll do that. But just as a goal, I want to be a comic artist. Yeah, I've been doing fanart for a long time and wonder if I should make a story of my own, but the problem is, I'm a lousy writer! I can't write storylines! Yeah, of course I write sometimes but that follows an existing storyline and honestly, I have no desire to be a copycat. That's just wrong.

Hmmnn, I have to draw more, practice and them draw some more, but do I have the motivation to keep on drawing? Maybe not, coz I used to last year, yup, I sold (illegal, hee hee) comics at school. It was innocent stuff, my friend wrote the storyline and I wasn't the biggest fan of it.. Coz it was more of a investigative-serious-comic. I'm not a big fan of that. Of course I liked the story, but somehow it was monotonous. And looking back at it, I realised my drawing was messy and horrible. But then again, I could always look at drawings when I was 9 (when I started drawing)

Ahh, nice days, those were. When I was 9, I asked my friend (named Dayana) to teach me how to draw properly, coz I used to suck at drawing (gasp!). But thank god I've never failed art at school. The lowest was a C. Yeah, sad. So, I got better by copying Naoko Taekuchi's style (Sailormoon) and then I thought another friend (named Bash) and the three of us drew a series of comics, just to amuse ourselves. Awh, that was fun. We drew about our days at school, teachers, nonsense stuff... Awwhh.... Then I took a break from comics... and I don't remember when that was.

Haha! Yeah so here's a list of things I need to do if I want to be a comic artist.

1. Practice more
2. Take up lessons, well, continue from a place nearby...
3. Practice
4. Expose self to more styles of comics
5. Practice
6. Learn Japanese
7. Practice
8. Try to write storylines, good ones.
9. Practice
10. Ask for help from other comic artists.

Well, that's enough art-related rantings for now.. I want to sleep... wait.. I hang by a minute..
