James: haha well, I've always liked drawing, but I
was drawing animals at the time. I was younger and frankly (sorry past self ) I sucked, absolutely terrible. So I just stopped drawing all together at that point, wheb I relized I was hurting everyones eyes and making them pity me when I showed them my drawings, yes, with pride. So during the transitions of my schools going to be homeschooled, said hey, there has been this thing goin' around called anime, I had no friggen idea what it was, I thought it was just an interesting style of drawing and picked up an idex card and drew in pen, ( again the worst, anime face drawing ever the face was round o3o) said, I can see myself doing this. So one day in my grandparents basement I decided 'okay, I'm going to actually try drawing this now. So I got out my little kindle that we brought along and, (oh lordy this is long...) looked up tutorial, I was pretty good at it, started drawing more off of tutorials, bad idea, dont do that, got better, my uncle got cancer, I drew him a get well card with one of my characters on it, sadly he died, but before he did as I went to him for a hug goodbye and he leaned up to my ear and said "Promise me you'll always keep drawing." Me nodding and being the jerk that I am, not wanting to let him see me sad, I was blinking and fixing my gaze on one part of the hospital room trying to fight back the tears. And that's what prompted me to draw, and that's why I continue.
