Description
Because I feel like a lot of people here could relate to this. Sadly, life is not always rainbows and butterflies, crap happens, and personally I have always used my art as an escape. I know there are plenty of other people who do the same, even if the problems they face are different than mine, we all have this in common. :II'm really not that comfortable with drawing humans yet, so yes I am aware that there are mistakes. :T
I hope that there are some people that find this relatable!
Oh, and no, I am not in a bad mood right now guys, thanks for the concern though! This was drawn as a way of showing why I enjoy drawing fantasy more than drawing from life (though I do still do it for practice sometimes, I just don't submit it) The point of this was only to show why sometimes art is such a wonderful way of escaping into your imagination.

I feel your pain 
It's sickening, but I don't care. My Dragons represent me and my life experiences and emotions. I base some of my characters off feelings and real people. They are special and represent me. That's drawing from real life.
This is sandra_the_archer from instagram btw if you remember me :3

I had a similar situation where people asked me to draw humans because dragons are horrid and such stuff. I personally get insulted by such demands because dragons are not horrid and especially in my drawing style since I almost never draw blood or gore and also because humans are boring and unsatisfactory to draw. I love fantasy more because there I can be whoever I want and wherever i want. I just feel no satisfaction in drawing things which have no meaning to me.

I understand exactly what you mean!
Escape from the real life into Paradise, for many, is usually the only way to get out of the hard times of life to Escape! way from all the stress, anger, etc. here and with the creativities, of the other, it's like a second home .... You understand each other, whether same tastes, or completely different .... Here one can replace, help each other and give tips, or just chat. "There," is much more than just a portal for creative minds, it connects people from all over the world with each other and that's more than super! "When the heart weeps because the pressure of reality has not got, then it will Escaping and then only see a single place where it can recover ... . the world of fantasy, is open to everyone and is also happy to welcome everyone! "
love greeting, Shadow Star Dragon ^_°

Yeah i find this true most all of the time. But when they ask 'why?' I ask 'Why not?' If i wanted pictures of real things i'd get a camera.

Here, here, like you said, we all can relate to this, I'm one of those, even at 32 I still dream of my own dreams and stuff like this, it's where most of my inspiration comes from, maybe that's because I haven't grown up on the inside, like a big kid inside of an adults body really

Yeah, it does give you closer from your crummy daily life. Really do I wish I could go off to some fantasy world where I'd enjoy a better life.

can be, shman be. Reality IS disappointing, and is a real b*tch. If someone said that I could make my own world and leave this all behind I'd slap down a pen and say "WHERE THE HECK DO I SIGN?!!"

That's one of my reasons too
But the most of the truthful reason I draw is to create stories of anything your heart wishes even if you have to make up a world

I fully understand you. For example I'm a good and frendly commentator for dragons and Mass effect but realy I'm a fat couble-head nerd with glasses who easy gets angry....

I agree with that...my teenage years were terrifying with a wicked stepfather.

I only use life as a base for my imagination to grow from, but it sometimes gets away from me.

I feel the same :C
But i found something inside me what is helped me a lot...
I dunno you can believe us but look this and read the comments
and you will found something if you are open for this kind of things and if you believe in this
I can say to you if you really have a dragon soul you will believe us
If you can't believe this, i can tell you my and my two friend's experiences but i think if you are really dragon you can believe us without telling you our experiences XD Because i dunno it will be a good decision to tell our experiences to someone or not XD
But our quest: Let's help to other poor souls in the world who can't be happy and who want to live in an other world :3
So check it out and the links in the description:

I especially like combining real life and fantasy. To have my magical characters have real world problems.
and I can relate to what you're saying; ever since leaving school it's been one disaster after another for me. also, every time it starts to get better something cut's in.

Wow....this is just...just wow. You have captured the message so clearly in this little comic. This is amazing. Simply well done .
But as you said 'Life can be disappointing' it is not disappointing luckily. Sometimes shit happens, but also quite often something good can happen too.

I completely understand this. Of course, I'm not heartbroken by life as much as I am bored of it. I don't go through hardships and my heart goes out to everyone who goes through pain that I understand but can't comprehend.
I wish I could draw like you. The best I can do is write. I consider myself damn good at writing but that's about it. Thus, the only way I can entertain myself is through mental or written words.

"Of course, I'm not heartbroken by life as much as I am bored of it."
