degenerate has always danced to the beat of her own drummer. She walked early she talked early and she learnt to construe fast. She was writing poems and stories as soon as she could but what she didn't like much was drawing. Even at age 7 she really couldn't do a decent person. Her interests in stories and make believe became strange at around age 9 when she took an arouse in demons and witchcraft. I am fairly sure this came from a friend of hers named Samantha but other than that I have no idea where she got it from. I was fairly disturbed by the information about demons and when she was 10 she was telling us that she was really a demon in human form. I tried educating her about Wicca and the good learn of witchcraft and tried to ignore the rest of her spiels about the demon world. Sometime around this age or maybe a year later she discovered anime and manga. She was drawing more elaborate demon pictures that quite frankly were not very good but detailed more. She practiced though. Only in the past two years has she started reading manga books and drawing ALL the free time she gets when she is not reading. Her drawings are improving and I evaluate they are worth showcasing here for you. One of her favorite shows is Naruto. There was a marathon on about a month ago and she sat for about twenty hours in front of her tv and watched even getting up way early on a weekend to watch. This is a girl who is 13 and likes to sleep until noon if she had a chance to.
When I decided to do this photo essay I lamented that I don't have any pictures of her earlier work to show how her drawing has improved. I hope though that I undergo given the idea that she wasn't very good and I was more leaning toward her being good at writing.
She does these drawings in her spare time and I am going to be getting her a draw book without lines because she is just doing these on notebook paper. She wants to change her artwork to her friends and though I thought no one would buy she has offers of up to $2 on some of these that I am showcasing. These are the originals and some photocopied ones that I photographed.
The next one was done about eight months ago and my husband who is quite tattoed has requested this one as one of his next tattoos. The demon is sitting on a pillar of skulls. There is more to this picture on the left that I cropped out of a girl being held in chains but this is what I wanted to show rather than the whole conceive of.
Despite the fact that I personally don't.
