:bulletblack: Welcome to my gallery! I'm not the world's best artist, but drawing is a hobby of mine that I'll never give up on. I mostly draw for other people to make them smile.

:bulletgreen: All comments and critiques on my art are very welcome! Please help me to keep improving.

:bulletblack: Hi there! I'm Keeley, most of my friends call me Kiwi.

:bulletpurple: I'm Talking To You! :bulletpurple:

Questions
1. If you're an artist of any sort, when did you first start?

Aside from the scribbles everyone does as a baby, I first started trying to draw something that looked like an actual thing when I was 4 or 5. Around the age of 7 I was paying more attention to shapes and being critical of what was on the paper.
2. What are your dreams for your future?
To have a job, my own home and a family. Couldn't give a shit about art in the long-term.
3. Do you use websites other than dA to showcase your art?
Sort of.
4. If so, what sites?
I used to use SheezyArt but stopped when I came to dA, and I upload some stuff to Facebook, although there I have to avoid anything my family would question.
5. If you are an artist, which of your pieces are you most proud of, and why?
Not anything very recent, I haven't been doing a lot. I like some of my sketches like this though:

6. If you are an artist, who or what originally got you into it?
Being left alone a lot, mostly. I have no siblings so I spent much of my childhood by myself with some books, paper and imagination. The first things I tried to draw were book covers and Disney video covers. If I remember rightly, the first thing I ever attempted was the Age of Empires II game cover. A tad ambitious, wasn't I?
7. Would you be willing to pursue a career in the arts, even if it meant you risked becoming a starving artist?
No. I know I'd never be good enough for such a thing and I wouldn't put myself and any family I might have in a bad situation for the sake of an unrealistic dream.
8. Would you consider art to be your passion?
Hmm, it was once. It might still be, but I've lost so much interest lately that I'm not sure. For the last few months I've been much more interested in nature and wildlife and that's where I've been spending my time.
9. If you wish to be an artist of any sort but cannot, what is preventing you?
Lack of time spent drawing and practicing. Also I can't afford an amazing camera for photography.
10. Why do you allow it to prevent you?
I'm a lazy faggit.

I TAG YOU!

4. Do you consider photography to be art, and why?

5. Is there any type of art that you don't think should be recognised as art on dA, and why?

7. Have you ever taken any kind of art course or class (not including school/college classes)?

8. When did you start doing art as a hobby for your own enjoyment?

9. What do you think it means to be a 'professional artist'?

10. Do you know the muffin man?
