I have problems with uploading my new drawing.
Somehow I can't upload the file

Help please?




edit: problem solved...for now

Here's how it works:

1. Be one of the first 3 people commenting on this journal entry, and I will add you to the "Promotional List".

2. For each of the first 3 people answering this journal I will put his or her avatar and the three deviations I like most from his or her gallery on the list.

3. If you answer, you'll have to do the same on your journal, putting me in the first position. Then rinse and repeat!...you don't have to do that if you don't want too...

1. ~TNT-M4v3r1cK he's very funny good to talk with and most of all he takes a lot of cool pictures

On 18 july I will be going to germany for a week, so I won't be able to answer your messages.

Koninginnendag 2009 (30 april), it's our national anniversary of our previous queen. It means people are having a party all day long, looking funny in orange clothes, selling junk on the market and eating orange cake. Me and my little brother always sell our old stuff on the market, but this time I decided to do something different. So I went to the market with my drawings!

At first not many people looked at them, but then some guy told me to move a bit more to the front and he also told me that I should start drawing. And that helped a lot! Many people looked at my drawings and I got lots of good reactions. A girl even bought one and some people will contact me to ask some more about my drawings or even make a request. So I'm very happy

I've put some pictures here: [link]

I’ll be turning 17 tomorrow!
Some stuff about the past year I wanted to write down:

Darts
I've been reading a 11 page long word-document my dad send me. It's him talking about my dartcompetitions. He managed to write a little piece about every darttournament I entered the past 9 years...that's long!
It starts when I'm about 8 years old and I'm defeating every guy in town. Later on he talks about me having darteritus - which means I can't let go of my arrows. It ends with me trying to work my way up again
I really like to read all of this, but it also makes me feel like crap. Why didn't I try harder? My dad helped me with everything, maybe I should have tried harder.
So I'm going to try harder now. After reading this I really feel like playing darts at a high level again. Not just to prove to my dad I can do it, but also because I'm still young and it would be nice to win some more stuff and be the best in something.

Drawing
I've improved a lot the past year. Especially because I spend more time on drawing instead of darts and school. But also because I enjoy spending time on deviantart, which helped me to get better in technics. I’ve also met some great people to talk to like Creedysgirl, Beutybent, MTLau and TNT-M4v3r1cK.
I asked my artteacher what he thinks of my drawings. He gives me feedback and encourages me to make a portfolio for an artschool. Hopefully I will take a look at an artschool in Utrecht soon. And hopefully I will finally figure out what I want to become later in live, but first what and where I want to study...it will probably have to do something with drawing.
I’ve made a art-hyve a while ago. Hyves is comparable with facebook. So my arthyve is a place where I can show my drawings to family and friends but also a place to meet people who are fascinated with my art and maybe want to buy some of it. I've already met a few new people who loved my drawings

School
School is getting harder and harder. I really have to spend more time on homework or else I'll mess it up...I hope I won't. It's really hard to keep up with school if you also want to keep up with your passions. Some subjects are really boring me. Especially economics and stuff like that. While artclass is getting more and more fascinating, I really love to spend time in that class.

I’m sorry about all the sentimental stuff... makes me feel like an American (no offense Peter ). Anyway I’m excited for tomorrow oh and I’m sorry for my english...I’m sure there are a lot of mistakes in this journal L
