| I always found myself attracted to drawings and paintings but was unhappy with the quality of drawings (and later paintings) that I produced. I took art classes and my teachers told me "You have a unique Style" whenever they thought I was being too harsh while criticizing my own drawings and paintings; I think it's just a nicer way of saying it sucks. I can't do figure drawing because i just suck at it; one of the reasons why i failed my drawing class, the other reason is due to my perfectionist nature i wouldn't finish projects if i thought it looked like crap because I'd spend too much time trying to fix it. I can't draw anything good unless i have a reference to look at. If I finish something i feel proud of what i have done, until i look at what the guy next to me did. But i do feel i have improved much since i started drawing, and every once in awhile i draw something that doesn't look like chicken-spit. I tend to dislike it when people make it seem like art is some kind of "magic" that only certain people can perform. |
