Random Noob Ramblings

Used to be heavy into blogging, but as much as I want to get back into it I just don't really feel like I have anything really interesting to say at the moment... or at least nothing to say that I feel is worthy of a blog.
Just finished college recently (or at least, finished the course I was on at the time), and kind of came out of it feeling weirdly drained. Had a lot of projects in the last few months that took up a lot of my time, and ended up kind of retreating a little bit when it came to more personal art - especially that of the furry variety. Took me a while to get over the art block that ensued, but I feel kind of like I'm past the worst of it now... so hopefully I'll be able to actually practice things I want to now without feeling like I have more important things to do XD
Still basically as new to the furry scene as I was when I first joined - still feeling a little non-existent I guess. The few people I have spoken to seem to have really mixed messages to give about how open/cliquey the scene is, and it's kind of interesting watching my own opinion form on that because for every time I get blanked by people there's someone who just does something nice for the sake of it... it's been fairly odd.
I'm not super social when it comes to introducing myself to people, but I feel like I've been pushing myself a little bit more recently so hopefully it'll stick soon XD I have to keep stopping myself from asking if I can draw their fursonas 'cause I feel like it's probably rude to do (at least, when you don't know the person) but I'm just so desperate for an excuse to draw at the moment that it's really hard not to ask/offer.
Hopefully I'll start feeling more confident with my furry art soon... I tend to get frustrated because I have friends who are so much better than me it's ridiculous, but for the most part I'm getting better at just focusing on myself. I just wish when I made progress it was consistent - lately I feel like getting better is only temporary, cause by next week I've taken two steps back >_< Just being silly of course - I know I just need to practice more, it'd just be nice to have a source of encouragement other than myself, cause I suck at being encouraging...
Anyhoo, ramble over. If you read through the whole thing you have my congratulations and deserve a cookie.
