Drawing In My Own Little Bubble

Art is an escape from the pressure of the world for many, me included. I'm an Introvert, and if I drew like I am then all of my art would look like this:

It's not like I'm super shy or always want to be alone or anything like that. I can't change who I am, I can't open up to the world with words like other can. So when I want to be free from people, I draw. It's not the only thing that allows me to escape from being social, well it's not really lack of socializing but the need of a recharge, music, writing, and reading help as well. When it comes to a recharge of needing space from almost everyone in the world, my husband included, I escape to a place by myself with a pencil and drawing pad or my drawing tablet and computer. In my imagination, I can be whatever I want to be or I can recreate a story image, this allows any part of my not so shown sides of my personality can come out. for instance, Kimiko Haruno is an independent kunoichi who's as out going as I've always wanted to be and Pyro brings out my Pokemon geek side out. While Kat Fullbuster is one of my OC's that is the most like me.

  One thing that I struggle with being quite, reserved, and a bit shy. And my art doesn't show it that much. I explore fashion, which I'm clearly not into in the fact that I hate shopping for clothes and prefer comfort over designer name. To be honest, I shop at goodwill because I don't like the idea of spending 20+ bucks on a pair of pants only to lop off 5 dollars or so and then have them fall apart a few months after I bought them. As a Christian, my clothing is modest, I try not to show much that can be consider "sex appeal",  so in my drawings I can go a little further than what I would actually feel comfortable wearing. And in many cases I would love to wear something like I drew, but would feel the backlash of my parents' rules that was ingrained into my head all my life and I follow even to this day, it may not be exactly what my parents wanted me to wear but I have problems with certain things like low cut shirts or high cut bottoms of shirts and low rise paints.

Personality is another big one I explore, going into what I would love to be which is a more out going person. It's hard for me to relate to most people because I have certain fears that arise from my introversion and my shyness, because of these I tend to sit back against the wall listening and gauging the room of people. And to make matters worst I am a geek, and not much of a "girl". And sadly, I have yet to create a character who is girly by all standards....I just don't know how to do it.

Aimi here is my most unlike me FoxCat. She's my Holiday FoxCat of Valentine's day and is very naive and flirty. Maybe she is the girly girl of my characters I'm not really sure, since Jade (my Irish foxcat) has become my favorite of all of my foxcats.

My Sushi Trio of Soy Sauce, Pickle Ginger, and Wasabi shows a good blend of different personalities. I tried to come up with what these three foods would be like if they were human beings.









Is it so hard to have an artist who draws differently than his or her personality in real life shows? Not one bit, in fact I believe that it shows much more if an artist has very little art like themselves. We can always express ourselves in many ways, but for me to show who I am in a drawing is hard and not really seen by much of the world other than those who are just outside of my bubble. There's nothing wrong with what I draw and I'm only creating a world of DigiFoxCat's imagination. In no way am I distant from my personal art or characters, each and ever piece I do is apart of me and I put a little part of my soul in every one of them that I feel like showing to the world even if no a single person outside of my comfort zone likes, comments, or talks to me about it.
