It was Laila Ali who thanked me for sharing my artwork with her. She may not remember thanking me, but I remember. I cherish her thank you. It meant a lot to me, and I was not expecting one word from her. Laila never said whether she liked my art or not. It could be the worst art work that she has ever seen for all I know. Still, I am happy that she thanked me because she didn't have to say anything.

Most of the time, people draw their favorite celebrities straight from photos. I try to draw from my heart and what is on my mind. It's kind of difficult for me sometimes because I have to draw exactly what I see. Drawing from a photo is easier, and drawing from my head is more of a challenge. It is more of a challenge even when I use a 3D modeling program because you have to make the model look like the person. That is not always easy either. I think my art is not the best but it is not the worst either. You have to believe in yourself and what you do. Practice makes perfect. Sometimes it's the thought that counts. Laila thanked me, and most celebrities would have said nothing. Laila, thanks for noticing.
