My son is going into his senior year in HS and I'm trying very hard to encourage him to pursue his passion in music. My husband never got that encouragement and now is miserable with the career life his father wanted him to have. <br /><br />You are an inspiration!

I grew up in an artistic family...my Dad was an accomplished artist and he did give classes...I was his only student asked not to come back! Until stamping arrived I have never had any great success but now I can color and play with the best of them...well not quite. But, thanks for the great answer to the question. Your drawings told the story perfectly.<br />Hugs<br />Heatherretiredheatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17740836903062416365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896052019252712485.post-45000478745608739322009-06-07T10:53:24.572-07:002009-06-07T10:53:24.572-07:00Thanks so much for sharing your story.

I used to copy (not trace) the archie comics and other cartoons. I stil have my old drawings.

I've always thought of myself as a frustrated artist, since as a "rubber stamper" I always take someone else's art work and interpret it with the different mediums. Thanks to you I have become addicted to Copics and am learning all I can about how best to use them, shading, shadows, light areas, transparent items, etc. So much to learn, however so much fun to play. I'm now going through and looking at my stamps differently now as to how best will they adapt to my markers. And of course, buying some new ones which will complement them even more. Thanks again for all your expertise!!!Cheryl Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07414006450951118365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896052019252712485.post-64324207398552433842009-06-06T20:13:41.200-07:002009-06-06T20:13:41.200-07:00Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for sharing! Back many years ago, I turned down a full art scholarship to get married. Needless to say, that was only the beginning of my regrets! I have always had my hands in some phase of art because it is my outlet to create. Two years ago, our school budget was trimmed, and of course art was the first to go. I could not let the children down so I volunteered to teach these k-3rd graders and it was the most rewarding experience of my life. We MUST keep art in our schools at whatever cost! Thank you for being such a strong influence.freidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02012420782193501031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896052019252712485.post-12269552963954835942009-06-06T15:49:05.233-07:002009-06-06T15:49:05.233-07:00Thank you for sharing your inspiring story and tip...Thank you for sharing your inspiring story and tips on encouraging children to draw.B2-kunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09431974279890454789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896052019252712485.post-79288472036835406322009-06-06T15:07:21.408-07:002009-06-06T15:07:21.408-07:00wuoo ....i read all the story
