I'm not creative. That i've figured out since I was little; back when my bro's artwork made me green with envy; way back when i tried persistently but failed with amazing consistency to emulate his artistic flair (i still can't). And knowing this, I've more than once tried to dabble in the dark arts as a way of testing the water and somehow (how horribly inapt i am) every time i do, a small number of people seem to like my 'masterpieces' (*beams* =^__^=).
Just yesterday, Aine OC told me I've got hidden talent, pointing to the doodlings in my notebook. hahaha. 'This' i told her 'is a bad sign that i'm not concentrating in class'. Even if she had been half joking when she said it, i still find myself a little too happy from the 'compliment'.
And recently, Fadh asked for another drawing. I sent her one (by request of cos) all the way to Melbourne, Australia just a couple of months ago. It wasn't a particularly good sketch, but the fact that she's now requesting another probably means I'm not half bad, huh? (*grins)
Okie dokie, before i say anything I'd regret in the future and before my bro has a chance to tell me how horrible my so-called drawings are (he draws rather beautifully, i hate to admit), let's just all take a moment to remind ourselves how art is subjective in nature~~~ Alright, now try committing that thought to memory... lalalala~ Done? Good!
So with that in mind, whatever sketching i upload after this (even if they look awful to you), please try keeping your thoughts to yourself, ne? I'm not very good at handling critiques. hehehe.
Again, just a reminder: Art is subjective, and it's this element of subjectivity that makes it beautiful =P
p/s: I'm contemplating making this blog private. Any thoughts on that?

Izzy, please, please, please.... don't make this private. It's like take away my breath from me. please, please, please
Costanzo, stop exaggerating!! Hahaha... u're hilarious!
Hmmm... frankly speaking, I'm only entertaining the idea because I've been having this terrible itch to write controversial stuff and secret thoughts and musings that aren't meant for the eyes of the general public.. =)
But i don't know.
We'll see.
