-Who Am I?
Art-wise, I am a 15 year old Lebanese artist in training. I've lived about half my life since birth in America. Then I came to Lebanon and really learned what hard work is. I'm sensitive, but not enough to get on people's nerves, beat myself up over stupid things, and don't know how to get serious by my own will. I have absolutely terrible time management, and you may notice that eventually. I am WAY too critical, about myself (thankfully)and others. I'm the type of person that doesn't like to move with the crowd, as in I'll do it as long as I'm comfortable with it. I'm a Nintendo fan, partly due to my 'stay young as long as you're young' attitude. I despise the yolo, duckface, obsessed with celebrities, and "I have a phone and I'm like 9 yrs old" types of people.

-What is Art?
Art can be absolutely anything. In fact, (other than sketches, paintings, and sculptures, etc) art can come in all different ways from patterns in the clouds to the way the waves crash on the shore. Besides, Allah was the first artist and creator, and if you think about it, all of his creations are works of art.

-What is it all about?
To me, art isn't about talent, and come to think about it, isn't about hours of grueling practice and training. If art, in all of it's forms, is your true passion, then there isn't a difference between doodling and and hours of work creating a masterpiece.

-Should I stop if I'm not good?
Like I said before, it has nothing to do with talent or level of skill. If you're not happy with you level, then don't quit. Keep doodling in class, writing your name like its graffiti, and carve into erasers. It doesn't matter what you do or how good, just do it. Plus if you're gonna try something extremely difficult the first time on and stop after the first mark you leave on the the paper then I have three things to tell you: First, start easy then step up the difficulty. Second, how can you know it's not good if you haven't even finished it. Third, don't be so hard on yourself. If you're like me in this, then you'll know that all of these things will really stop you from doing the things you enjoy.

Thanks for reading :D
