Bad drawings
14 years ago
General
I don't know how other people can push past the bad drawing stage. I keep trying to learn how to draw new things, but right away get scared/disappointed/disinterested because my attempts are awful. I want to be able to draw backgrounds, realism, animals, etc, really well, but everytime I make an attempt, it always comes out looking, well, bad. It's time to get over my fear of sucking, and get those million bad drawings out of my system, otherwise I will continue to be mediocre at drawing.
Does anyone else have this fear of sucking? Maybe it's time to track down some other peoples road to awesomeness to givemyself motivation.

eventually I am told that the taste of failure teaches a person how to crave success
Drawing in the phonebook is something I learned in college; drawing on a paper that already has marks and colors and stuff all over it makes the page less intimidating and you don't worry about being perfect since you know it's gonna come out weird anyway. As a result I've done some more experimental stuff in there. Plus colored pencil takes to it well for some reason!
