Hi everyone! ♥


Just wanted to let everyone know that I've been pretty inactive (as you know) since I started school a few weeks ago. ;v;
And most likely I will continue to be not as active here on DeviantArt cause nursing school kills all of your free time haha...
I will mostly be here to post finished & finalized art or cleaned up doodles.

HOWEVER,

I'm more active on my Instagram account (www.instagram.com/artsyury/) if you want to follow me there & am planning on participating in Inktober this year! woohoo!
(I post doodles and random things in my story if you're interested~)


ALSO, I just want to say thank you to all my watchers... I really appreciate everyone and I wish I had more time for art! ;v;
Someday when I don't have to go to school anymore, I will draw MOAR! （　･`ω･´)9



Have a wonderful day wherever/whenever you are reading this<3
Love you all!!

I guess the more accurate question would be...


What kind of an artist do you want to be perceived as by others?


This is something that I've been having a minor struggle with ever since I joined DA/began to draw again with more effort. (Haha.) I'm sure it is partially due to the fact that I care too much about what other people think of me and me as an artist. But anyway...

In my past DA account many years back, I enjoyed drawing Sonic the Hedgehog things and made a lot of Sonic OCs. Even today, I still enjoy and appreciate other artists' Sonic drawings and their OCs. But there was a point in my life when I wanted to derive my OCs away from the Sonic universe and Sonic style in terms of character design. There's nothing wrong with Sonic, but I wanted to make my characters my own--I guess? Those were my thoughts towards the end of my high school years. :3 Fast-forward some years. I started to draw more often because I had more time to invest in my hobbies. And I wanted to revive my beloved OCs from the dead. -v-

I enjoy drawing anthropomorphic animals, but knowing that "anthros" or "furries" had a bad reputation among the general population (not so much on DA since there's a huge community of anthro artists, so I feel like it doesn't apply as much here haha;; )... Honestly, I didn't want to associate myself with that image. Especially having some RL friends who even think that being associated with anime is a social-nono. Though that is another topic entirely on its own. xD;;
SO, I tried to change my style--I guess you can say. ;v;
(Though that's difficult for anyone to really determine since you haven't seen my past arts.)

I tried to draw more cutesy and animal-like...
  
I tried my best to stay away from the more human-like proportions and things of that sort that is common in most anthro arts. ;v;
But even during my initial sketches, many times they would turn out more human-like and I'd have to "cut down" on my character's body proportion and limbs... QvQ...
I don't know.
After a lot of thinking, I decided that I shouldn't care so much about how others perceive me. YwY
Whether they're online or IRL. Or if they think I'm weird for drawing furries...


I'M GOING TO DRAW WHAT I LIKE. AND HOW I LIKE TO.  

Cause ultimately, you should be drawing for yourself. And no one else. <3





Okay, end of rant.  



I don't know if anyone would have read this far or at all... But if that's you......
You really deserve a cookie. ;v; <3

Hey everyone! Thanks for stopping by and visiting my page.
I'd like to introduce myself a little bit before I begin posting anything else.

My name is Yury. I was born in and am currently living in the United States.
I was active on DeviantArt years ago, but I eventually stopped drawing as much due to business with life and with schoolwork. I've recently graduated college, so I currently have more time on my hands. While watching random YouTube videos, I came across some art videos (specifically 's YouTube channel), and I was very inspired to get back into drawing again. Though I've stopped drawing as much mid-high school, I've minored in Art during my college years so I was exposed to different types of mediums (such as charcoal and acrylic paint) which I've enjoyed very much.
Art has been a hobby and a passion of mine for since childhood. I'm hoping I will be able to draw more often & make new friends in the coming future. ^^

Thanks again for stopping by!
Yury
