I also saw drawings by a Russian supermodel which have a very similar style. Not that it's bad or anything but I'm just wondering if that's the way they taught in Russia(or was it Soviet Union back then)-I grew up in a collectivistic culture when I was little and during mandatory art classes, the teachers showed us "how to draw" and all of us drew in the exact same manner. (thank god I met better art teachers since) Your paintings/drawings seemed to have changed tremendously since then and I love them.

In a month or so I'm going to have the time and resources I need to be able to do a few hours of drawing a day! It's pretty much the only skill I'm interested in having, so it's really exciting to finally give it a proper go... Especially with some great advice from you. I hope one day I can travel to America and go to a Dr Sketchies with you! I love the photos you take there each time. How fun it must be to be you! <3 - V Thanks for answering my question, Zo!

Anyhow, I was just dropping by to tell you, my favorite space girl, that there exists a blog called "Fuck Yeah Space Girls" at fuckyeahspacegirls.tumblr.com and it reminds me of you - thought that you might appreciate it.

I just recently decided to start drawing again after years of not touching a pen, brush or pencil all because art school had took all the fun out of it. Thank you, Zoetica.

I am in my first year of undergrad studying... natural sciences! I have been struggling for the past year with trying to realize what my passion might be. It's really encouraging to be reminded that it's ok to take what may seem like a while in figuring out where one's heart lies. This sense of feeling lost can be so frustrating, but thanks to beautiful persons such as yourself, us lost goslings can be rescued from the oil slicks of DOOM. Cheers! Thanks Zoetica!

Everyone follows their own path to do what they love to do. Its just very rare that people share how they get there, especially in such vividness. And you did more than alright in your illustration classes, " The Canterville Ghost" is really beautiful. I have to know more about that one? Such a great post.

Super-expensive when I went (can't imagine what it is now!), but the scholarships and grants left me with around $15k of debt by the time I graduated (after 3.5 years -- another perk was not paying by the credit hour and being able to pack in 24 credits in one semester...). The experience was just what I was looking for -- huge choice of amazing classes, no required courses (though I think they have a seminar required now...), and a faculty that seemed hand-picked for their teaching styles and talents.

I studied art from an early age once my parents recognized a natural ability, this stunted my growth upon reflection! I had a wonderful H.S. art teacher who just said go for it & I won the H.S. end of year art award as a froshgirl, to the angst of some seniors. I have won other awards through the years before & after that triumph & unfortuatelly became jaded by the need to earn a living, I have finally started to let go again and just do it. Hopefully others will heed your advice & realize that only they know who they truely are. Cyn Wonderfull insight into the life of an artist!
