I started organising my new art studio this morning, (post-dentistry drugged up me made a lot of mess when she rearranged /dumped everything) as I rehomed my things I came across the doodle that kick started my art adventure, I looked at the date on the back and realised it's only been two months since the amazing artist here inspired me to pick up a pen with the intention of drawing for the first time in at least a decade. I produced a truly awful little doodle and posted it here simply because it reminded me how much I enjoy drawing.

The response from the steemit community was fantastic, while I'm sure many looked and thought WTF before moving along, those who took the time to read and leave a comment did so with kind words of support and encouragement kickstarting an art adventure.
Over the last 8 weeks there has been
Doodling!

I love your work!
We artists have to stick together and make this dark world as beautiful as possible!
I agree!
heehee I never thought i'd be called an artist.
You inspire a lot of people especially me :)
you'll have to show me your doodles if you're still playing with them.
They really are bad doodles lol they take my mind off other things though :)
please send me some pics on messenger,
You had better be sitting down just in case you fall over laughing
I promise I won't laugh, besides my mouth is still sore laughing hurts way too much right now :D
What have you been doing with your mouth :/ lol
I took it for a trip to the dentist .
Ouch hope your better soon. got to go in a few weeks for a filling. hate the dentist
What an artistic journey you have been on over the past few weeks. Never pack away those paintbrushes again!
it has been amazing I'll never stop, but i do have to start working on ways to earn a living from it now if i want to continue.
