Feeling of Drawing

-
Today I started to draw again and I really enjoyed it. It made me really happy to see that I still have my talent. In my last post I said I love to draw which is true. I do love it, but it's been hard trying to motivate myself and to find the courage to do so.

Last year, around this time, I got a refusal letter from The Illustration and Design program at Dawson College. My portfolio I submitted wasn't my best work and they noticed that. After receiving that letter I felt like a failure. I felt like I wasn't good enough to do what I love to do. To draw. Ever since then, it has been really hard for me to lift a pencil. 

Occasionally when I would feel good about myself, I would try drawing something. Many times I wasn't trying and you can tell. But I usually post my drawings to Facebook and many people like and comment on it which makes me feel good, but it still isn't the motivation I need to draw. 

Today though, I was just listening to music on my iPad and then I got the urge to draw. That optimistic feeling I get that I can paint marvelous things. That is the feeling I love getting when I draw. It's the feeling that I missed. Anyways, when I got that awesome feeling I grabbed my sketch pad and started to draw. 


This is the drawing I did today. A rough drawing of 2 characters of mine that I am working on for a story (will write about in future post). It isn't the greatest. I am really proud of myself. I love the way they turned out.

Hello again! This is part two of my Hay Day Tricks and Tips. If you haven't read part one click here.   Achievements are great, once completed you can get diamonds and experience. There are many achievements to complete, easy and hard. When you just want to get diamonds you can do them. In part one I gave a link to a guide to completing some of them, I will add it here. Next I would like to talk about the currency in the game. There are 4 types; coins, diamonds, vouchers and gift cards. You can use coins to buy just about anything in the game. Whether it be machines, animals, decorations, trees or any product in other players shops. You can also get coins from doing truck and boat orders and selling to visitors. When you get to the level you can start using your town, then you can also get money by filling in the townspeople's needs. You can also find coins in the mystery box or the balloon that Tom lets go of. Next is diamonds, they are rarer than

Hay Day Tips and Tricks Part 1

Hello, I'm going to write this post of Hay Day tips and tricks in a few parts. There are many things I would like to say and I think I should help people who love to play the game. I'm a daily player and have been playing this game for the past year. I'm level 45 and I know quite a few things about the game. In the past year I played, I came across a few tricks that helped me play the game and do things better. First, I would like to talk about crops . Every crop you plant will double when you harvest it. So keep that in mind when you are planting them. Make sure that you never sell all of your crops, I did this once accidentally and I didn't like it. You will need to use diamonds to buy 1 crop. So it isn't worth it, just make sure you have enough crops before selling them. Later on in the game you will be able to buy animals (if you don't have them already) and you'll need the basic crops like wheat, carrots, soybeans and corn to mak
