yes i know. this is pathetic. but sadly thats just how it isss. Before i begin, im gonna warn u guys. this is gonna be fucking long. and. it may or may not apply to u. heck, for all i know, im the only one with this problem. em. yea.
Soo. anyhoo lets get started with the talkingg.
So the topic im gonna touch on today is all about that undying passion for D R A W I N G. yep. you heard it right. that bittersweet lovejob that most of u reading this probably has.
Basically, we as artist, sacrifice hours and hours of our already short painful lives grasping onto that infamous grey plastic stick like our hollow lives depended on it, and simply draw. stroking and stroking until a picture comes out, only to realise to yourself "hey, this isnt really good" or "oh darn, i saw something like that before.. only better" or mayb even "fuck, what was i even drawing, i cant rmb" Yes. So i guess its pretty obvious when asked whyyy. The reason we give for sticking to this sick regime is because of that undying passion all of us claims to have. Yes. so. for this wonderful passion we have, what we end up doing. is learning.. practicing.. day and night on the technical side of drawing till we shiver from the very thought, drawin stuff that HELPS rather than we like. so much so that we end up forgetting all about that simple pleasure we once experienced as a kid when we first picked up that innocent red crayon and simply drew. dun get me wrong. im not saying u shouldnt learn to draw. i definetly do not approve shit like drawing using yellow on a white background or smthing stupid like that. but what im trying to say is. u gotta find a balance. i know this sounds cheesy as hell but looking back at the works i have here, i realised that the drawings i have been doin doesnt show the person im really like. for example, remember as a kid when u used to draw something completely ridiculous over and over even though u know everyone finds it stupid. yeaa. basically, i've been behaving the complete opposite of that. i've been drawing my stuff modifiedd specially just for the acceptance of the general audience which i must say, isnt really accepting all that much anyway, using technical reasoning rather than gut instinct to make decisionss. which pretty much kills any chances of producing something creative. So. im hoping to try and break out of that cycle, and go back to how drawing's suppose to be. yep.
so. basically. all im trying to say is. draw wat u love. not wat others want. If u like to draw ur art anime style with the big watery eyes and all.. DO IT. fuck wat others think about anime drawings. One good tip for the road.. Find some of ur old sketchess from ur secondary school textbooks. look through them to remind urself once in a while not to take things to seriously when it comes to drawing. most importantly, stay as a kid, nvr grow up.
yep. ending it here. finally. u guys can go now. sorry if i wasted ur timee. all the best for those who chose this god forsaken path. dun give upp.
oh and. all the best to all u interior design ppl as well. haaa. it sure looks tough from where i stand. right buddyy
yea. and lastly lastly lastly. fuck u "ppl in general". u have no idea how hard it is for us, practicing day and night, giving up on life, barely being able to make a living. AND YET u ppl criticiseeee. ooo. this guy's eye is too big. oooooo. this girl's fingers arent right. ooooo. this guy shouldnt hold a swo...FUCK UU
