but we're joking, right? we like drawing, right? we dont actually hate drawing, right? 🥺

especially writers because it's the written word that stirs my soul the most but ive never been able to accomplish anything close to it
Art is fun. Making things is fun.
Now, making explosive things that produce art...
That's something I'd like to do.
Sometimes you wonder if it's worth wasting time on it at all.
Fortunately, with patience and hard work, the fun of art creation can return.
Trying to do that covertly in public can be a challenge, I’ll admit, lol.
With how hard you study for the visual arts, I'm sure if you develop enough passion for the writing process as well, you'll become just as powerful with the written word
It's like, I wake up, have an idea and spend my whole day brainstorming characters, character designs, world building and story in general, and the ⬇️
It feels like I wasted my time but then again, even if the story failed sometimes some parts stay in my memory like chara designs or certain ideas and sometimes I can weave them into a new idea.
But yeah, in those ⬇️
Nothing is good enough—
(I'm kinda in one right now actually.)
⬇️
a) lack inspiration
b) not feel able to get the idea in your head out into reality
c) slog through the tedious minutia that will make it *really* good in the end
but that doesn’t mean we don’t love it.
I might be in the minority here but I want to be someone who HAS made art. I like the connection from the finished product way more than the act of making it.
So in my case, no, I don't really like drawing. But I love bringing stuff to life
Learning has been fun though.
ART MORE LIKE
FART >:(
Wait no
Which is kinda insane when you think about it.
Then I rethink my stances. I do it because I love it. Even if I say I hate it, that's me going through something. I will always love art, I will always love writing, I will always love the creative medium.
It's not a joke.
but other times it feels like 💢😫😠😵💫⁉️😭💔🤡💢
Sometimes I may have a mini meltdown, cry and then need a nap when trying to figure something out
But outside that it really is my fav activity <3 😂
(Note: I'm an amateur in both)
Art frustration is usually an outside problem rather then an issue with art too! Either didn't eat yet- sleep enough- or overall just in a bad mood
But I channel that hate into doing it anyway, and then the feeling of *finishing* a drawing is pretty good, so I don’t know if that counts.
If I try to draw now it feels like a chore. Wish it didn't, but, oh well.
I only draw well when I feel inspired. I could force myself to draw, but that's when I don't like my art the most; so I don't force myself. So instead, it's months between each piece/series of art.
Half of the time I forget how I used colors, which tubes/pencils/pastels make what color, and pretty much everything associated with making a mark on a surfce mystifies me.
It's almost like starting from that exact beginning every single time.
bc drawing is hard but whoa what a rush.
We don't hate art
Or in other words; most things before the finished product.
The completion of the finished product is great.
Its basically like dipping in cold water until the temperature settles in.
"Well now you tell me you love somebody. And you'll love 'em forever. You may love 'em forever. But you won't like 'em all of the time.. "
Same goes for art
Drawing with burnout is like... that same dog, but they won't stop eating the furniture and peeing in the living room floor. The love is still there 100%, but so is the frustration.
The Creative Process
1. This is awesome
2. This is tricky
3. This sucks
4. I suck
5. This might be ok
6. This is awesome
yeah for now, it's like 'god i hate that guy' but at the end of the day, you know you don't, you're just frustrated with em at the moment...
I feel like the common archetype that is considered manly just doesn't look pretty to me to the point that I don't draw them but some of the drawings I had considered woman were considered man by people around me.
Looks like I just liked prettier men all along
I hate the times where I wish I were in that state but can't muster the motivation to start, nor when the shapes don't shape.
Of course half the time just starting helps.
I love drawing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me when I can’t get a thing looking the way I want: “drawing fuckin sucks actually”
Gwan, scoot
I hate having to price so low and yet do so much work - just so I can pay rent
But I love making people happy with art
sometimes it feels good to admit its tough- but thats because i love it!!!!
fucking pisses me off every time that I hate art channels.
Anyways yeah, all jokes
haha
yeah
definitely not
True, I've got some beef with it from time to time but also accepting problems and finding solutions is the lovely part of our relationship with our craft, right?
I wouldn't be where I am today without my love for drawing.
Nothing beats the rush of just being madly inspired to sketch something real quick and doing it tbh. It's the bigger projects that are the problem 😭
