# About me
Hiya, I'm Liesl. My art is not particularly compelling, but I'm sure someone out there will find it meaningful, print it off and make stamps out of it and then one day I'll see it on a stamp and think, "that jerk, they totally ripped me off." And then I can sue the pants off of them and sit on my pile of money doing absolutely nothing like I've always wanted to. While wearing their pants.# Comments

Oh, it's beautiful! Thank you so much! I love the details you put in, like the dusting of snow and the "grubby little hands." I also love how you explored Rapunzel's character. You write beautifully. Thank you.

Awww, I love your gallery!
Your style is so neat and I just love how your drawings come out too!
Keep up the great work! =]
Also, how long have you been drawing for?

Thank you so much! That's so wonderful for me to hear; it means a lot that you took the time to say something.
I've drawn on and off all my life, but I began to be serious about drawing about 3 1/2 years ago. I've had a bit of a struggle with it because every time I decide to make a career out of it I decide to stop drawing. It stinks, so I'm always pushing myself to keep drawing regardless.
But again, thank you for coming to visit my page! I hope you have a fantastic weekend.

You're welcome! I always have time for DA -- unless I'm sleeping, or in school or... *comes up with several other ideas* XD
Ohhh, interesting. That does stink you sometimes struggle with it but it's nice that you're determined to just push through it anyways. You enjoy doing it though, right? That's always a very important key in ... well, anything I suppose =]
Ooo, why thank you! I hope yours turns out well too!

Oh, wow. Hahaha didn't know you were such a fan of DA.
I am enjoying it. I love it when a piece I've worked hard on turns out well, or when I've captured the emotion I'm going for in my piece. Heck, I even love it when something I've doodled turned out better than I planned. It's just getting started that can be the problem, and it's never fun to draw crap. But hey, 90% of everything is crap. I should just keep going through it anyway, right?

Oh yes, I am beyond obsessed at this point XD
Aaa, good!
Mmmm indeed, those are good times to celebrate!
True and true, and yes, if you feel that's something you'd rather continue to plow through, it makes sense. And who knows, maybe eventually getting started won't be AS hard.
Have you ever tried looking through DA for inspiration? Maybe there's something on here that can help you get started with more ease than before

There are some days where I want to draw more than others. What usually gets me started is just doodling whatever I want, like just not worrying about the anatomy and proportions and foreshortening or whatever. Then once I've gotten that I'm more willing to do the harder stuff like practicing on anatomy and proportions. I find that a little self-indulgence goes a long way.

No problem! I'm reading The Red Pyramid right now and lovin' it. I think your piece helped give me a better visual of the characters.
