Thanks Karolina for your concern.Β  It seems that life got in the way a few times (just bumps in the road - nothing too serious), then I lost the time and the inspiration to continue.Β  I started doing some speed sketches (that was all the time I had it seemed) but these were just for practice and I did not get much satisfaction from them.Β  I've also been trying to improve my pencil sketching as well.Β  I just think that I had a "Linuska" moment.

I really appreciate you asking - it means a lot.Β  I may actually post something again.Β  Do you have any advice?Β  Did leaving Linuska behind to be lady blueberry help you?Β  I know it has helped you artistically - I can see it in your drawings.

On a personal note, how have you been?Β  Are you well and enjoying life to its fullest?

Thanks again for the note - I hope we can talk again. Β Β  Β

you're like the only person who remembers me. That's kinda heart warming.Β 
Well.. I gave myself a new name, cause I wanted to forget everything i was. And also start my own drawings, which I didn't really succeed.. Now I stopped completely.. everytime I see a piece of work I admire, it catches me again, I open PS, but nothing interesting comes out of it. I don't know, maybe I've lost my patience with it.. Maybe I grew up, and with all that problems in the world, in my life I forgot how to focus on painting.
So I don't know which advice you want me to give you I am not feeling like I know anything more than you. Β 
Besides painting,Β aaaah life happens. Trying to improve in languages, trying to pursue a new carreer. But at the moment I am just stucked, I hope I'll resolve the situation asap.
Thanks for the reply, and I am sorry for the lateness. I am not often here, as you can see Β 
Bye bye

I always remember kind, generous, and talented people - like yourself.Β  You'll get back to painting I know you will.Β  Perhaps it is not giving you what you need right now, but it will always be there when you need it.Β  I know this because I went through this myself.Β  Priorities do change and you'll need to put the pencil, brush, or tablet aside for a while.Β  Don't think of it as being stuck think of it as "evolving".Β  If you can't find the hours in a day to paint - explore the world through a camera lens, invest in an IPad an take it with you and sketch whenever and where ever the urge appears comes.Β  Also a pencil and a drawing pad have worked for centuries.Β  Karolina, you are a very talented artist - don't get down - get going.Β  Good luck with everything!

If none of this works, just write me again I'll keep checking just in case.Β  Take care!

I did read your message, I am sorry I didn't reply earlier, I feel bad about it You are right, I should do something, and I will sooner or later. I take photos everywhere I go... and often think about painting some of them. I actually did some sketches they're just not up to the standard.. my standard. So that's why I am not posting anything..

Hi there,

I’d like to welcome you to the #PortraitClub - glad to have you among our members

My name is Mike, I’m co-administrating the club with Lydia =Glasperlenspielerin - if you have any questions concerning submissions, the rules or just a general suggestion, don’t hesitate to let us know. You can always reach us on our private account or the club itself.

To get started I suggest to have a look at the club rules – you can find them on the front page and inside the main gallery (right column) – and maybe keep an eye on the club journal for ongoing contests, mini-competitions, features and news on the club.
If you like to give critique and in-depth comments you might be interesting in joining our Critique Squad, dedicated to provide help and suggestions to declined submissions.

At the moment, we're having a collection for points to keep the group as a 'super-group', which expires in a couple of months.
Being a super-group allows us to feature people's art, to make our members work stand out, and it makes running the group much easier!
If everyone gives just three points, we'll get there in no time. If you can spare just a few points, please do so here : [link]


Don’t be afraid to have a look around and let us know if you need anything
See you at

Kind regards,
Mike

Ha Ha...No sleeping a lot better since you've moved on to mermaids, day dreamers (good color pencil btw), and ladies of the evening. Not scared of them at all, (in my best English accent) in fact I quite fancy them! jk.

Graced any good gravestones lately. I really like your last photo.

Thanks for the compliment on Avril. I made certain that I took inspiration from your gallery before I did it. (That may be as scary as I get. LOL

Aha, unfortunately I have not had the chance to perch myself on a nice headstone for a while. With studies and all. I am glad you like my new ladies, Day Dreamer is quite the vixen .

Nice english accent, it came across well! Lol.

I'll upload more soon

Oh! Are you a professional artist? To me to your level far...
If not secret. How many do you draw already?

rubiconcepts In reply to Kaoru-violett [2009-08-18 14:45:02 +0000 UTC]

No I am not a professional artist, drawing is a hobby. I do work for engineers and doctors. It is not always the most fun, so I do these drawings to make me happy.

I have drawn since I was a child, yet I have not done it in a long time. I am starting all over again and I love it!

Thank you for your nice comments!
