HeyYouWithTheEyeball

Hey, everyone
I just wanted to give out a little information about myself so people can get more of an understanding about me and my work. I am a high school senior this year. I love drawing portraits.
I've been blind in my right eye for around 12 years now because of an accident when I was 6. After a plate shattered, a piece of glass bounced off the floor, hit the stove and then hit me in the eye...slicing it completely in half. Several surgeries and a lens implant later I've learned that a disability means nothing if you give it no meaning. I've done almost everything that the world has told me I couldn't do...except med. school but I'm working on it. I am still blind in that eye and because of a botched surgery I lost vision in my left (good) eye. I cannot see without corrective lenses.
In school, no one really liked me much as a kid because I looked a little freaky with my lovely eyepatch, hideous teeth (thank god for braces...) and...well, pretty much the eyepatch and the teeth. So instead of having friends I begun drawing. I have some good friends now, but I still put my trust in my pencils and paper. Experience is the best teacher.
When it comes to art I am self taught...but any advice I can get I will take. Which is why I made this account...so PLEASE do not hesitate to give your opinions. I am a realist. I can take it, I promise.

Hopefully that explains my username a little more for you guys. That's what people called me because they couldn't remember my name. Haha it stuck through 2 states and 12 years so it must be a fitting name.

Thanks for reading :)
