Your art is lovely! I really like the style you use to draw video game characters. Do you use photoshop?

I also love to draw. I can draw animals and that is about it. Some of my art examples can be found here.

Art is an enjoyable form of self expression. :)

It's nice to see you two also like to draw. I love to draw. I can draw very realistically, but that's a lot of work(took me a few weeks to finish.). I personally prefer drawing caricatures. I do like the humor that you put into your drawings, nintendofan. I haven't uploaded my artwork because I am doing too much currently.

You make some of that art on paint? That is amazing! I have tried using paint but all of my MS paint trials end up looking like crap. I use gimp because I like to use layers while drawing. I also have a Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet.

I always like to draw people socialising. Even if they don't look good or accurate, I still like to do it.

You can draw pics in Gimp? I just thought it was a photo editing program.

I like this one

'Your arms are too hairy to be the real Mario!'

Kind of looks like a sleazy mexican :/

Anyway with the images, right click them on deviantart and click on "copy image location". When you paste it, make sure it has the image extension thing at the end. For example (and you'll see if you attempt to quote this message) it may have .jpg at the end. If it doesn't have something like that it's probably not a link to the actual image itself. Try it!

For some autistics, art is used as a way to express themselves, I think. Just like writing can be considered another art. I... can tell people my ideas more clearly through writing. Maybe telling needs and wants verbally isn't something everyone can do. But we all want others to understand us, sometimes. So some tell their stories with the typed word, while others paint.

This is... it really caught my eye. you draw to express yourself, and just go along with it because it's fun.

But I look at art as if it's something i have to master quickly. i study intently and practice a lot. I feel I'm very good so far, but... I'm not happy doing this. Yet it feels like an obsession. I can stop drawing for a while, but I always feel like I have to read or look into something art-related.

And this topic made me completely look at my artistic self. I should just... enjoy myself. Doesn't matter if it's AMAZING or not. Just...have fun, draw ides that pop on the head ._.

I've drawn my whole life, and am a perfectionist about things. Sometimes it keeps me from even starting a project. But as a result of it I've developed some pretty keen illustrative skills.

Right now I'm working on breaking myself of the perfectionist habit, and developing the self-discipline to just create art because I've decided to, not waiting until I'm sure that I can do an immaculate job.

Very nice drawings and you color very well. I quit that website because my artwork is just too horrible, and I didn't want to dirty their name. I kinda like to draw, but I'm not very good at it.
