HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010, let's hope that you all and I become even the better artist for the year to come and be on the road of living the dream doing what you love and live comfortably as long as we draw and paint. :)

And I just thought this year, I should do something more with what I secretly deeply care about. So I decided to put the donation links of the organizations that I feel strongly toward that they need help, support, and donation. You can find the banners and links on the top right column of the blog. We, especially I (me), really do deeply care about wildlife so go donate or support them by volunteer or anything you can do at www.panda.org and www.savethetigerfund.org Save them wildlife, it's our job (Yeah, you and me). :)

"Also Thanks to ALL OF YOU READERs and SUPPORTERs of idrawgirls.com
We donate to save the wild turtle at WWF as this NEW YEAR's gift is for ALL OF YOU. Much love. Without you boys and girls, idrawgirls would not have come this far. It's year 4 we are entering here." ~ Xia Taptara :)

Aaron Coberly Art Book, "Gestures" from Blurb
Aaron Coberly is a great artist, a friend, and a mentor of mine for many years. He's also a lead of my character team on Guild War series.
He has been drawing for as long as he can remember. He started taking art seriously as a teenager after being invited to attend a life drawing class. Living and traveling in Europe further inspired him. He began oil painting in 1999. His work is primarily figurative with a stylistic nod to the Masters and the Impressionists. Aaron runs an open painting and drawing session in Seattle.
