Making art, whether it is drawing or writing, or crafting, comes easy to some people, and for others it is more difficult. I have heard that drawing is a learned skill, but I have also heard that you are born creative. I am a person who is not very skilled at drawing, and sometimes I poke fun at the things I made because I am afraid other people will if I don't. But I don't like to do that, so I am more determined than ever to improve and learn why lines and curves go where they do, and how to make them be where they should. I have found good tutorial sites, and forums and communities where people post for critique. I can learn from what is shown there, and try out my own ways when I have learned what works. I was told not to get down on myself and not to compare my work to others', because there will always be somebody better than me. But I can become like them, I know that it will take time. I have to learn the basics, structure, anatomy, heads, hands, bodies, and more. I don't need to be a great artist, I just want to be happy with my work, and I know I can do a whole lot better than this. It's my motivation. I have good supplies like paper and pencils and coloring utensils, but I am afraid to use them, because quality paper doesn't make your art quality. I don't want to just doodle anymore, I want to draw. My wanting is my motivation, so I will keep at it.
