Tackling a new medium
13 years ago
So, I absolutely love drawn art. When I was younger, I drew a lot. I was never really that good at it, but I enjoyed it. When I got older though, I stopped practicing or really doing anything with it. This was partially because of time, partially because I just didn't think I was good at it and it was depressing.
Recently though I've been realizing that if I really want to get good at drawing, I just need to sit down and do it.
I'm surrounded by amazingly talented artists and I always find myself saying,"I wish I could draw like you do". "I wish I had your talent"
The reality though is that a doodle faerie didn't just show up in their room one day and say, "Gee, I think you could be an artist. Here is my magickal pencil, filled with magickal doodle faerie awesomeness. Now you are amazing, go forth and draw all the things!"
They practiced, a lot. They scribbled over drawings they didn't like and threw things in the corner out of rage.
So I'm going to stop complaining about a skill I'm unhappy with and just get better at it.
That said, I'll be posting a lot of random, probably uninteresting drawings. I'm considering making another account just for that, but I don't like the idea of separating my art very much.
If people would like it to be separate though, speak up. I don't want to bore my awesome followers :)
That said, drawing incoming.

I see no reason not to post drawings to this account, but if you're worried about them distracting from your other art, you could always put them in your Scraps gallery. Watchers will see them in their Submissions feed...everyone else can see them by clicking "Scraps" on your page. (I'm sure you know this already, though... ^_^; )
