Hey fellow creativi-tists. Francis aka FreemanHKH in Vancouver, Canada.

Currently a learning artist taking lessons in a school here at 31 years old. I gave up art 15 years ago because of a lot of discouragement from others and I've lived a life of personal torment up until my 30th birthday last year when I decided to give it all and pursue my passion with all my heart. I love drawing and have been drawing again since June last year.

I only want to say this: I am so grateful to be able to make art again and know fellow artists and be inspired by everyone in my life right now.

I thought I share a drawing of my dog (RIP 2006) I drew in memory of himClick to view attachment

WELCOME to drawspace

Welcome to drawspace!!!
I love your drawing of the dog

Awwww how sweet to remember your sweet little one.. Looks like my Lhasa apso Peek-a-poo.. She lived for 21 years .. The last 2 years she was totally dependent on me .. she lost her sight and hearing..She had sharp sense of smell.. They say that is 90% of a dogs brain..Only thing that kept her going..
As for you quest as an Artist? Never let anyone take that from you.. It is yours and if it makes you happy that is all that matters !!
Welcome to Drawspace.. You will find a lot of wonderful friends here.

Welcome, Francis. Glad to hear you are back to drawing after all these years. That's a very nice drawing of your dearly departed pup.

Oh Thank You everyone! It is so encouraging to see to so many people here encouraging each other. I feel so at home right now at this forum. You words of encouragement and welcome touched my heart deeply. Thank you friends.

Hey Jodopsi, I am attending school at Capilano University in North Vancouver right now.

Your drawing of your dog is Amazing.
