Hello, my name is Volchonok and welcome to my little corner of dA. i am 14 years old, green eyes, short hair, and i wear glasses. i was born in the year of the Dog and my zodiac sign is Scorpio. i was born in Russia and moved to Canada when i was 3, and i speak two languages, Russian and English so you may talk to me in any one that suits you best.
i've been drawing basically ever since i learned to hold a pencil and i have always loved to draw animals. i learned to draw, starting with my mom's patient teaching and then i moved on to using the "Draw 50" books by Lee J. Ames. then i started developing my own skills but i am still using the basics that i've been taught all those years back. i currently draw a lot of canines (you'll see my gallery overflowing with them) but i've been thinking of hopping onto a bandwagon of drawing 100 animals (i've seen a lot of ppl doing this, why not join?). well, enough about me, let's move on to more important things.

Merry Christmas everybody (who celebrates it)!!!

sorry for not being around much, i just had nothing to post. well actually i have a ton of art projects from school that i want to submit, but i didn't get them back yet.
what about you guys? how's life? anything interesting happen while i was gone? oh, and what did you guys get for christmas?

i am leaving dA. that's right you heard me, i srsly am. i'm just getting bored with it. it's always the same routine every day: turn on comp, check messages/deviations, answer all the 'thankyou' comments, comment some really lame comments on some deviations, go to school... return from school, check messages/deviations, answer all the "thankyou"s, and etc.etc...
P U R E B O R E D O M!!!!!!!!!!
plus, dA also interferes with my schoolwork. i have a really huge project to hand in in 3 weeks and i'm only like halfway through.
so, bye guys, i'm packing my suitcases and leaving. i might go through my gallery later and delete everything or put it in the storage. right now, i'm gonna check my remaining messages and officially leave dA. ciao!


























































A P R I L F O O L S!!!!!
hahahaha, i almost gotcha there, huh? you're lucky it was April Fools day or else it would've been for real. but the part about the school project that's due in 3 weeks is true. but i'll finish it by then...
so don't worry, i'm definitely not leaving dA and all my friends and all the fun! at least not yet... dun dun DUNNNNNNNN!!! -weird music-
