Art for my Father

[GuyNamedEarl 1,332]

I recently took up drawing as a way to cope with my father's illness. He recently shared that he had been diagnosed with late stage liver and pancreatic cancer, and was hospitalized last week. Yesterday, he lost his battle he had been fighting for months, and was called to his eternal rest. I returned to class today for the first time since last week and I drew these quick little sketches during my lecture. My first sketch I drew because even a strong person like me and a strong pony like Rainbow Dash can still feel sad and alone. The second one, however, I drew Pinkie Pie because at the end of the day, no matter how bad things seem, there is always going to be a reason to smile and a brand new day. I know they aren't that good but it makes me feel a lot better drawing them. My dad supported me being a brony and he said he enjoyed me bringing him my artwork and that I should keep it up for the rest of my life.

I'm so sorry about what happened to your dad. I'm glad you and your father love each other. I try to forgive my father for the things he's done but I just can't.   Stay strong. I am sure he will like your drawings and he's right you should keep it up for the rest of your life!

Yeah I'm taking Japanese at college because it's something I always wanted to learn but never knew where to start. I'm thinking about doing a study abroad there in a year or two.

Ugh, oh man, this post hit me hard. I'm so sorry for that kind of loss to happen, it must be so overwhelming. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie were expressed and symbolized very powerfully. Beautiful work.

I'm not sure where to post this so I'll just put this in this thread. I want to give a huge shout out to @@PonyLaces,  for putting up with my shit last night. You are an amazing person, and I want you to know how much I appreciate your help. I drew this today as a little token of my appreciation. It's not great and the color is a little messed up, but it's the best I can do

I am truly sorry for your loss. I have lost several loved ones to death throughout the course of my life, so I know how difficult it is. I promise you however that you will get through this if you never give up, and focus on the positive. 

 

Your artwork is amazing and I hope you do stick with it. That is truly wonderful that your dad was supportive of you being a brony and enjoyed your artwork.

Couldn't sleep tonight. Been thinking about all the things I've done in my life, both good and bad. Went to Walgreen's and bought a 24 pack of colored pencils. An hour later, I came up with this. I love sharing this stuff with you all.
