"I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do. Mrs Dubose won, all ninety-eight pounds of her. According to her views, she died beholden to nothing and nobody. She was the bravest person I ever knew."

You should post them! I know there are more than just me who would enjoy them! I do alot of creative writing (which I've been to lazy to post) as well, but I can't draw to save my life. My mom says I can but...Heh.

Thanks! I don't do much art anymore though. I was an art major last year in college and I got burnt out because I couldn't be creative. I've moved to more creative writing now, but I have a buch of artwork this style I should probably post.

Whenever you get a chance to post your artwork, you should, even if you don't think it's good. You never know who might like it, or it might be just what someone needed to see that day

Thanks! Yeah, it was my first time I had done a realtic person in pen. I did this from a picture of myself, and the hair took forever but it was worth it. It didn't win anything in the  Black and White Drawing category, but that is the most competitve category, and I live in the most competitve district. This was part of my senior portfolio as well though. I left part of my senior portfolio at home and almost got disqualified, so I ripped something out of my sketchbook and matted it real quick and submitted it. (you had to have 6 pieces) It turned out alright, though. I got 2nd in senior portfolio and am going to the state competition! And I got 1st place in graphic design and honorable mention in painting!! So I'm really excited!

Wow the image's use of lines and simple shading creates an amazing tonality. You will do very well in your competition
