Description Throughout my childhood, I mostly remember myself being alone. I transferred school twice and I couldn't handle the new environment. Whenever I try to talk to other people, I stuttered and did stupid actions because I just... didn't know how to act normally. I remember drawing on my sketchbook just to avoid my classmate's gazes, something to make myself relax while being at school. 

I would see kids playing during break times and I wanted to join, but I couldn't. I was afraid. 

What will I say? What if they'll say no? I really want to join...
Fear always holds me back, but I try to fight them. 

I did join one time, but I was unfamiliar with the game. I did a lot of mistakes and I was ashamed of myself, which led me to never play again with the other kids. 

"I will change," I told myself every year, but every year comes crashing down on me whenever I commit a mistake and I go back to my own shell again.

My everyday routine was school, and then go home. That was it. No sleepovers, no after-school hangouts,  and most of all, no friends. My dad, whom I rarely talk to, works abroad, while my mom was also working. Both were working hard to give me a better future.

I felt pure loneliness from what I thought to be a hopeless situation.

Okkaaay! This is my 2nd attempt with Medibang Paint and I tell ya it is goddamn hard 

I usually used Paint Tool Sai, but I wanted to explore other art software. Photoshop requires a large amount of RAM for it to function well and (unfortunately) my pc can't handle it. Medibang is nice. It's slightly easier to draw semi realistic characters with this app. I do have issues with its brushes, but so far so good.

SO HERE'S MY NEW ARTWORKK !!       
I think I might do a "Childhood" series     
Like drawing is fun, but drawing personal experiences leaves me feeling satisfied.

I hope you like this!!

Really cool drawing, here.

As for myself, therew were very few moments in my life when I really felt isolated. But these moments are always painful, no matter how short they are.  

I know that feeling.

Thanks man. Everything is better now. I just went through a lonely stage in my life, but it taught me a lot you know? Despite everything I'm still proud at myself for enduring it.

I love the shine effect on the hair!  I've never seen such a smooth style with it!

Y'know, to me art is about expression. Sometimes, it's hard to find the expression amongst all the attempts at popularity here. Good to see someone still using art as a medium to express themselves rather than gain attention.

I'm a big fan of Yuumei not only because of her amazing art, but also because of her messages/lessons. 

Pretty art is one thing, but an art with a message sticks to a person, and that's what I love about it. I was saved by art from hopeless situations several times already, and it still continues to save me. I don't know what would happen to me if I didn't draw.

Same can be said of me. Art is our saving grace. I look forward to your future pieces and hopefully, what you express in them.

It is quite a sad story, I hope you feel better now. Your drawing represents it perfectly, it's really aesthetic and pleasing to see how strong it is

Thank you, Elisa  
I'm feeling better these years. Despite all the loneliness, I did learn from it. In fact, I think it was a blessing in disguise?? Cuz if I wasn't hurt before, I wouldn't be able to express them through art.

Also thank you!! I'm trying to draw semi-realistic portraits and been reading about color theory.
