Description
I've been on deviantart for 12 years now... believe it or not... and before I take anything for granted, I will say that I have definitely improved a lot since back then. It is not as much improvement as I would like in the last few years, but nevertheless, still, I'm happy to have gotten to where I am. But I have to say... I find that as I journey to improve my technical skills at art... a lot of my drawings have lost a lot of the heart that my old ones used to have.They lack the feeling I used to feel from them... and I feel like that's really sad... especially when I chose my username, kidoairaku, literally for the meaning of 'emotions' because that's what I wanted my art to be about. I wanted viewers to feel something when they looked at my art and I think I've really failed at that as of late. Nevertheless... time will continue to move forward mercilessly, but I can not get stuck in place regretting what has not been achieved. I can only see what I can change and continue moving forward.
So... here I am making a renewed vow to not only improve my skills as an artist, but also to remember the heart of my art.

Well, I never felt you lost your "heart" but it's you who knows you best!
Remember that if you lose it, we're always here to give you ours. :3
Love the lighting in this and the glow on the heart. <3

Not to fret, someone might want to improve on speed, but then realize along the way, they sacrificed quality. Maybe you just need to put your technical skills on the back burner for a bit and work on your "heart." I hope you find those feelings again!
No matter which direction you go, I'll always remember the first drawings of yours that drew me in the first place!
