10th birthday (2 yrs ago)


I'm twelve years old and I've dreamt of becoming a famous author since first grade. I want to illustrate my books too, but i don't know if I'm any good.

So i was thinking that I'd post some of my drawings here so I can see what other people think. I may suck, but please don't judge me too harshly, I'm only 12, prone to having complexes, and a chronic worrywort.:P

I recently took a week long art class in Govenors school (a summer program for the academicaly advanced).

I've been working on a fantasy novel called Tales of The Island for about two and a half years. My hero is J.K. Rowling.


***Note from Kerry:
Hello Briana and welcome!

You are in the right place, we don't do harsh criticism here. If an artist asks for a critique, everyone does their best to give advice on how or where improvement can be made. Usually, the answer is simply a matter of time and practice, us artists can be very impatient waiting for improvement in our work.

Your entry called "rebirth" about the Phoenix bird doesn't have an image with it either, in case you are wondering what happened to it. Would you like to try uploading it again, please Briana?

By the way, I love your name, we have a Briana in my family and she is beautiful too.

This is a pic i would like you to add to my page, please. its not the best one, but i dont have any better ones on my PC right now. This is 2 years ago, my tenth birthday. I'm holding a Judy Blume book.

(Thank you very much Briana, it makes such a difference to us when we know who we're talking to and who's work we are admiring. You're a sweetie for sending this in.)

Here are links to some of your drawings:

Simplicity

Rebirth

***Edited August 2010:
Kerry, please change my pictures. This is my 12th birthday and my little brothers 4th. I was to do a silly pose so I did the rockstar thing. my little sister put bunny ears over my head, lol.

(Thanks Briana! They are great pics, I love the one of you opening your pressies, you are lovely.)

You'll see.....
by: Michael Betz

lol...hello again Briana...you have a wonderful sense of humor. And from what you described to us, actually sounds "cool" to me. And those "guys" at your school that don't think you are beautiful...just wait, you'll see.....there will come a day they will be falling all over themselves just to be near you. I've seen it happen a thousand times.....just keep being yourself, and loving life as you see fit. From what I hear, you are doing a fantastic job at that. Besides, I have always prefered the "good girl" myself, and I would be willing to bet that I was not the last guy to prefer that.

Hi Briana,
Thanks for telling me all of that because now I don't have to worry about you -- you are one smart young lady and your life will be so much easier. You know what you want and you know who you are, that is amazing for someone so young!

I admire you! Some people struggle all their lives to work themselves out and you have it all pegged out at such an early age. You are blessed.

Thanks!

Thanks guys! I really appreciate your love and support!Unfortunately, I'm far less popular at school.I DONT wear make-up,I DONT have a boyfriend,My pants DONT fit fit my butt like an extra layer of skin, You DONT mistake my shorts for underwear, and my shirts DONT show the shape of my bra.In other words, Im not "cool"(easy, cheap,promiscuous,trashy).And as for being "beautiful", the guys at my school disagree. but thats their loss, cuz unlike their girlfriends, i wont dump them because they got glasses.lol.Anyway, thanks :)
