Hi everyone,

I've been so ashamed to write a new Journal entry because I inexplicably disappeared months ago and never even replied to all your lovely messages...even when my best friends on DA wished me happy birthday! It brought a tear to my eye...

The truth is I had a bit of a break down in the middle of last year, when I completely lost all my confidence in my art. My tablet even broke and I didn't get it fixed again until two months ago! I thought if I waited that the negative feelings would pass, but they never did, and I realize now they never will by themselves. I decided I have to do something, if I want to continue to pursue what I love.

Mean while, I'd been putting all my energy into blogging. I've been writing a fashion & beauty blog => www.closetvoyage.com

In the next few weeks, I've decided to bite the bullet and make a proper come back to art, and bury all the irrational fears that keep holding me back.

Thank you all my wonderful friends always for your support!

Omg it's been a lonnnnnnnng time since I last picked up my tablet...I have so little confidence in myself recently. I can't help thinking 'it'll turn out looking like crap anyway.'

On the other hand, I've been working hard on my career I finally got a job at Attorney General's Department!

From July I'll be taking a night oil painting class at ANU~ hopefully that will give me back my drawing mojo...

Trying to get back into painter since last week...

Frustrated!!!!!!!

I really feel like I don't know what the hell I'm doing xD Don't know which brush to use...how come I have not control over anything I'm doing???

If there's anyone out there who uses Corel Painter as a main drawing program, please give me  some tipppsss!!!
