Drawing Problems and TBT-Uploads
11 years ago
Hello dear watchers and guests to my gallery!
As I said before, I'd really like to draw more often, finish my pictures and upload more stuff - but I can't. I nearly always quit the work, when I think I can't get something right or when I notice a mistake in the picture that can't be corrected anymore. There's this huge blockade that keeps me from trying again or finishing it anyway. A few times I even started crying, because I wasn't able to draw what I intended to. I started with a blank sheet and finished with a blank sheet, now creased. I'd rather erase everything than keep a crappy sketch.
Now I know, that these thoughts aren't the healthiest. I totally lack confidence. It's not only a problem that I have with drawing, it affects everything in my life. I'm trying to find a solution for all this, but you can't get confidence over night. I'm afraid it will still take some more months or even years. So in short it can be said that the more new pictures I'm uploading, the better I feel in general.
Commissions will be closed for an unspecific time, several months at least. It's to get me back to drawing for fun and not for work. And as I don't like to see my gallery inactive, I've come up with the idea of "TBT-uploads". (TBT= Throwback Thursday) On thursdays I'm going to upload old art. Not every week, though. I hope it's not spam for you.
Besides, I'm working on a personal gallery with nearly all my pictures from the past seven years and even older stuff. I hope I can make the website public this summer.
Thanks for reading!

The mood comes and goes. I wish I had some solid advice for it, but I do know that there will be times where you can do your best work and hate it and other days where you'll do some sub par work and love it...the mind is just weird that way. You'll be okay though!
