# About me
Reclaiming my life, picking up long-forgotten pastimes and waking my childhood dreams from slumber.Autodidact. I do not pretend to ever have mastered proper drawing technique; yes, I am aware of many formal mistakes in my sketches as well as the poor technical quality of the photos. What the heck. Gotta (re)start somewhere!
Comments welcome nevertheless - especially if you see anything that *is* actually good. I'd love to read what you think and where you think I could develop further.
Also a slight disclaimer: I'm not really into llamas (the digital kind to be precise), so if you are thinking of giving me one as a way of saying "hi" or "thanks" or "gee your work is great", I'd be grateful if you put that message into words instead of that lovely animal. I hardly ever give one back anyway, if that's what you're hoping for :)

Awww...! (Hug)
I haven't been on here for months... idk, a pandemic or something? and having to work from home AND homeschool does not leave one much time/space/energy for fun.
Giving myself a new chance with a new round of Inktober though.
We've been doing okay healthwise, and only now are starting to feel affected jobwise/financially. Still luckier than loads of people!
Hope your corner of the world is somewhat coping too! My Brisbane "cousins" weren't able to visit CZ this year to their (and our) great sorrow

Thank you for the warning! Last week I found 3 accounts (hackers). Unfortunately I don't remember the ID because I remove one of my art.
(sorry for my bad english)

No problem!
You can help fight the issue by being watchful, reporting hacked accounts and alerting others who fall prey to them

Would you remind me how to report them?

Thank you very much for the faves (and into such flattering folder names)!

My pleasure!
When I add a favourite, it is because it has an impact on me... inspires me.
So I always try to analyze what it is that speaks to me, and that's how my folders came to be

That's really lovely and inspiring.
