my art (rant)
10 years ago
idk what to even do anymore...
I feel like my art is at a standstill..and I have no idea what to really do.
its like art block, but the worse ive ever had...like...making me not want to draw for a really long time. and honestly hate being away from drawing for so long because with that comes no progress...
and I honestly don't know any artist who wants to keep dishing out the same art the same way over and over for years and years and years to come not getting any better, not doing anything new...
but if you do that, to each their own..
ugg...I want to know what to do next..
I want to ask people that draw or keep art blocks away, but sometimes that doesn't work out.
ive asked even some artist on this site and they either give me bulls#$% answers, or they don't know themselves how they do what they do..they just do it.
ive asked personal friends who even go to school for it, but, when I'm down to learn, the tricks and teaching don't seem to stick....its always one class..then ded.
I need constant influence and encouragement.. :/
I'm the type of person who can follow external expectation, but cant follow internal expectation...and therefore to be able to follow my own internal expectations, I need to make them EXTERNAL...and the best way for me to do that with art is either having someone constantly being there telling me theyre expecting art or wanting my help with art..id love to teach people what I know...OR by someone teaching me, turning my drawing as a hobbie, homework or an assignment. because lets be honest..as much as we hated school, it gave us the encouragement and ability to no PROCRASTINATE and that's all that happens now...
ugg...art books don't help, because all I do is skim through them saying "oh that's a nice trick to do 'so and so'"...and never do it =n=..
and all of this is so much more stressful to me than it may seem...
it really gets to me because id love to make this thing a career :/
sure I can draw...sure I'm good at it...but it wont get me anywhere if I don't do s#$%..
and even if I wanted to go to school for it....I mean....huff...
its just annoying and I wish someone could seriously help...and not by suggesting to draw their sona >~>..
because even though I'm asking for help with this seriously annoying art block, imma have dat one person just suggest me draw their sona lol....thinking that will help with the art block? or idk wanting free art probably :I
huff....

Personally, I like to watch Gintama, because the episodes are short, and the art is nice.

I didnt care if it looked good. It was something to do and it was often funny and in the end if I liked it enough I would save it to improve later. Not every drawing has to be a masterpiece, its the practice that leads to making bigger greater in the future.
As a beginner artist, I do have art block a lot. Plus, I'm a busy person so I don't really have that much time to art as much as I use to or want to.
The problem with me is that not only am I super busy, but I tend to throw ideas away. Right now, I have this huge list of ideas in my Google Drive of poses, gestures, songs related to music, and the list goes on. After I glance at the ideas, and I finally decide on which one I am going to draw, I get frustrated and then I just throw the idea away.
I'm always adding ideas to my list, but at least half of them are thrown away because of my lack of patience with myself.
Another thing is that I enjoy my sketched versions of my drawings better than the colored/shaded versions. I'm not that good with coloring but I know that I am awful at shading. If you'd like, you could teach me some of your techniques with shading and coloring. It would be appreciated and helpful.
