You are nothing to them until there's something they want... and then you get to be nothing again after you help them :D This is just a slightly exaggerated version of a common conversation with my older brother in doodle form =P I wanted to see if i could fit any sort of emotion in just a few lil lines. Sadly after a few hours of trying to practice drawing full images of random emotions, this quick doodle is the best thing I managed to draw tonight :I
Normally I get lots of inspiration from all the drawings I see posted by some of my favorite artists on here, but for some reason tonight seeing all the amazing pictures and then trying to draw my own just made me feel like a butt, cus it feels like I'm just wasting time with my drawings. Lots of ya tell me they're good, but when I see what a true artist is capable of all I can think is I could put in so much effort and work on something for a month and it would still be no where near the quality of something so many others on here can do. I so badly want to find at least one thing that I can be good at and not just fall into a C rank average. I feel like I need some form of guidance, but just like with everything else I wouldn't even be able to word the questions I wanna ask. Maybe I should give up on developing my own style and just start looking up drawing tutorials; don't know though.
In scraps cus stupid doodle thingy

I deal with that feeling every day to varying degrees. Wish I knew a way past it because I hate just letting my abilities go to waste especially since I want to try and go back to art school and finish my time there. At the same time though just feel like I shouldn't have gone there to begin with since the highest grade I could pull in any classes was a C otherwise it was Ds or Fs. Just always thought that art was the thing for me career wise, but nowadays I'm just puzzled and frustrated.
I'm a bit the same with my focus too, but I'm starting to wonder if chemistry and possible dyslexia were a bad thing to mix. I also wanna draw too, but know it can be really hard :I You never know if you can do something until you try though, so don't loss hope Sarah, you never know what might happen when you run with your passion O:
Aww, thanks so much Bob! The only reason my lines seem clean though is cus I use really light hard graphite pencils and switch to heavy soft graphite to darken the lines I wanna keep. That and turn a lot of gummy erasers black with the lines I don't =P I'd trade ya my clean lines though if I can figure out how to make drawings as expressive as you make them :D
Aww Cloverbutt it's ok. These kinds of things take time. Practice and continue to be proud of what you draw. Everyone always strives to do better than what they are doing and sometimes, things that are motivators before, can make you feel doubtful of yourself. It's okay to feel that way. The best thing you can do is talk about it and get those feelings out. You have lots of friends who love what you do and are really proud of all the progress you've made and continue to make. Tbh every time I think of a picture I'd love to see come to life my first thought is that I could tell you about it and maybe youd go to town on the idea and I know you'd do the idea great justice, but I worry that Im asking too much and that you might think I care more about pictures than our friendship, which isnt true... btw could you draw me this picture idea.
hehehe Just kidding. Don't worry Watermelonfops, the bad feelings will go away eventually and you'll be free to draw and doodle happily again. ^-^ Just gotta weather the storm.

Would it be sad if I told ya that over the past few weeks the only one I've had any real sort of chat with was you? I just wanna say thank you so much for being such a great friend Bagels! And I do try my best to share when I'm feeling yucky with others, but I'm not good at it ^///^; And I also have some good news for ya; my mom found a lil kindle tablet thingy on sale online, and let me use some of my graduation money to get it, so in a few days I might be able to give some of your fun ideas a try to test it out, and I wouldn't have to feel bad about wasting paper for simple sketch practice anymore so I can doodle all I want without worry. I think maybe I just really hit a dead end with my grey scale doodles, so maybe a different medium will help make it fun again and teach me some new stuff ^_^
Oooohhh Doodles on the tablet sounds like fun! I was thinking of getting a sketch tab too just cause it seemed like a fun thing for doodling, that and taking a picture of my doodles always turns out looking meh so. Also its not sad, Im super happy I could be there to chat wiff you Erin. :) Your really fun to talk to. Also I am gonna note you the list of fruit named sillies. Ive come up with more for more people. A teaser is for Panfer, he is the PeachPanfer. ;) And don't worry, I think a lot of us are bad at talking when we don't feel good, it might just be in our nature. ;)
Also I do have a bunch of ideas for you... but I really like when youre in the ideas.
