Favorite Quote:
Outside the station, she stands with her child on the side of the street, taking pictures of cars.<br /> <br /> You think she&#039;s insane. Until, one day, you notice that she&#039;s taking pictures of the license plates of the cars her child gets into.<br /> <br /> Because you look. But you do not see.<br /> <br /> And she walks out the shop with bags full of cat food. You think she&#039;s some crazy cat lady until you find out, she has no cats.<br /> <br /> Because you eat. But you do not taste.<br /> <br /> It&#039;s been a while since their last album but he assures you, he&#039;s doing just fine these days, white flecks in his nostrils. Then he asks you if he can spend the night on your couch, even though it stinks.<br /> <br /> Because you sniff. But you do not smell.<br /> <br /> And they say &quot;Just OK&quot; when you ask them how school was. Then you wonder what they&#039;re hiding until you find their diary and the last entry reads &quot;I wish you&#039;d give me some privacy.&quot;<br /> <br /> Because you listen. But you do not hear.<br /> <br /> And they&#039;ve got a bruise over their eye and you run the tips of your fingers over it and ask them how it happened. You believe them. Until it happens again.<br /> <br /> Because you touch. But you do not feel.<br /> <br /> And they walk past you everyday, one million stories, each waiting to be told. Waiting for you to ask.<br /> <br /> Because you live. But very few, love.

To post art on here you have to either take a photo of the piece with a camera, or scan it onto your computer.  Then you upload the file to your new work, just like you would with writing.  There is a drop-down menu under submit new work page to change the submission to photos.  hope this helps!

Heh, I can DRAW, I just have quite a few problems drawing people (not cartoon people, those are easy, but real people) With that "what you really see" thing, well, I don't know how well that would work with me, because I am always looking at stuff as how it could be, not how it is. But I'll try.

I am actually kinda glad someone else has trouble with hands! I do use pictures, but haven't really looked at my own hands... I'll have to try that, as soon as my sprained wrist is better, and I can see a hand, not just an ace bandage. Nice tip, thanks! :)

-Lilac

P.s. (again) How do you post artwork? I am not getting it, do you just take a picture of your drawing and paste the link of the picture, or what?

hi! thanks for the comment. You can learn to draw (there is nothing wrong with your hands or brain).  The skill in drawing from life is teaching the mind what it is really seeing, not what we think we see.

And I find it very hard to draw hands!!  I hate it.  I would reccomend using pictures of hands as references and start slow and easy.  The move to using your own hands as reference. good luck!

Good job! You have amazing talent. I like to draw (haven't figured out how to post it on this site yet) but drawing realistic faces doesn't work with my hands or brain or something, so kudos to you. :)

-Lilac

P.s. How hard do you find it to draw hands? I keep trying, but my hands always turn out looking more like a glob of wiggly noodles...
