I missed DA and my friends so much, but I had another passion - handy craft: I've made some handbags with my style patterns, some collages and notebooks. I decided not to post it here, You can see it at my LJ account:

I was deadlocked with no possibility to improve my drawing skills, so I had to find something else to safe myself from depression. But now everything is going to change: I decided to become art student next year. I'll get diploma of Russaian Academy of Foreign trade this summer, and then I'll become free to get art education

I found wonderful teacher to help me to prepare for my drawing exam, the first lesson is on monday, I can't express how I'm happy now... I haven't drawn anything since August, And I miss my pencils and wacom... and You, my friends!
