Description a quick doodle. used a reff from polyvore so its tiny and i know nothing about it.

practicing with Paint tool sai.

thoughts: sometimes i think, if i draw enough and if i make it perfect. if i put my all into it, if i can trap my heart and all my emotions into one perfect picture, everything will click.
the right person will see and will understand. who i really am will be in that one picture.

have you ever thought if you make it perfect you will get love?

i know its irrational and i'm not really explaining it all that well... but my art is the one big thing about me. the one thing that you can see. it takes time to get to know or love a person, but art you can see right away.
i can draw beautiful people, there are whole worlds inside me, wast landscapes and adventures. but you can't see that just by looking. so i'm not beautiful, you wont catch yourself staring at me. i will never take your breath away. (well making you laugh does not count)
so somehow... art. somehow i got it into my head that you can fall in love with someone trough their art.

its exhausting in my head...

i think thats wonderful and you are very lucky
art feels like a part of my soul and to find someone who can see and love your art, is like them loving your soul

I agree with this so much, even though it doesn't make sense that thought is in there....

i've also felt this way. only i'm not that good at art, so i can't really express all the ideas and dreams i have...
i do believe that people can fall in love with someone through their art though, and i think you are very lucky to have been blessed with such a gift.
my x is a musician and a big reason for falling in love with him was his music - not only the way it sounded but the way he thought about it all the time, it is a part of his identity. you can’t separate him from his music. while others (including i) were thinking about everyday stuff, he created these amazing things.
once we broke up and i started dating "ordinary" guys, they just seemed so grey to me...like something was missing.
it's a million times more inspiring to have an intelligent and talented person next to you than to choose some boring ordinary bimbo. anyone who doesn't see that, doesn't deserve your attention. IMHO

the drawing is beautiful. i absolutely love her hair and complexion.

I really like the expression on her face and the way you did the hair. Her hands feel slightly off to me, but that might be just because I'm tired.

Wow, you better not be saying that you don't think you're beautiful. You're beautiful inside and out, and I'm not just saying that. But I know that, my opionon isn't worth as much as his (whoever that may be) but I hope you know I think you're gorgeous!

One CAN fall in love with someone because of their art. It's entirely possible. It happened to me, my first boyfriend was an amazing artist. It's what got my attention.

As for the way you feel, I feel similar about writing. I may not be as good a writer as you are an artist, I've got way more work to do before I get that good. But I often find myself thinking that if I could write the perfect book, that someone would see inside of me. That they'd see who I REALLY am. Because in person I'm quiet, and small and totally uninteresting. I know I've got a few good books inside of me. I hope to find them, so that people will see who I am, and I will in turn find more self worth. That if I got just one book published that wasn't a total flop, I'd feel like my life wasn't wasted. Does that make sense? I guess as artists of any kind we all have this stuff inside that is aching to come out. It's our curse and gift to want to share...

I completely relate, and I think that your art is very beautiful. Sometimes the universe gives us gifts from places we aren't looking for them or expecting them - make sure you have your heart open to all possibilities. I keep my fingers crossed for you. *hug*
