To recap: started off on good footing. Put lots of effort into my art, sometimes taking hours and hours to complete. But for all the work I put in, it never seemed to get the appreciation it needed to be worth it. So I start rushing my art, and then I get attention, albeit negative. So I stopped enjoying drawing, and left this as a mostly-advertisement of my let's play videos at Viddler.
This is a decision I have been regretting for quite a while. I look at people's art, and can't help but be totally envious of how nice their art looks. I so much desire to draw up my own creations, again. Recently, upon trying to draw something up for the LP, I realize that the issue at hand is coloring. I'm not color blind, but I might as well be. I have so much difficulty choosing colors to use, and added to the fact that it takes forever to color a full image, I can now see why I came to dislike drawing. Sitting in my lap, at I write this, is the lineart for the title card of the Presto LP I recently finished. While it's not perfect, and there was plenty of erasing done to get it looking right, I'm quite pleased with the result. But then I look at the colored version and I think "bleh".
Long story short: I want to take up drawing again. No more coloring, just lineart. The stuff I can be happy with. In fact, I'm very tempted to draw something up right now. [excuse]Too bad my house is a cluttered mess at the moment, leaving me no room to draw anything on.[/excuse]
Besides, I am way overdue to draw up another picture of myself.

^-- very good teacher, that. It'll make your pictures look a million times better if you can get to grips with it early.
He also has lessons on colour, too, when you're ready for that :)
