Another drawing speel.

[friezaess]

I'm on the verge of giving up.

I tried so hard to draw something today. It's like something's broken. I don't know what's happened to me but no matter how hard I try, no matter how motivated I may be, my drawing still look like shit.

I don't get it. Before this dry spell, my drawing was the best it had ever been. How could I have fallen so far just when I was getting so good? If I wern't so determined to have more of my comic published on OzTAKU I'd just renounce drawing altogether. Though my submission, Papercut, hasn't been going so well either. In fact, I haven't touched it in weeks. I desperatly need to redo the first and second chapters, and finish off the third. Oh yeah, and put in some backgrounds. But I'm not even sure I'll be able to do anything with it now. Like I said, it's like something's broken. I mean hell, when you try to draw the person you love in catboy form and fail miserably, you know something's definatly wrong.

It's not fair. I feel like I wanna just curl up in a nice dark corner alone and cry. I hate what's happened to my drawing, and so far it looks like there's nothing I can do to change it.

Never give up hope my comrade!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone gets dry spells or artist blocks! It takes a while, but they eventually pass! =0
What you MUST do is never give up during the dry spell okay? =0 Because if you do, then your drawings will infact decline.

*huggles* Just keep drawing and sketching and eventually you'll get out of it ^^

Silly blocks- maybe us artists should have some metamucil for our brains ^^;

*huggles you* Tankees for your kind words. I really do appreciate it ^x^

Eee! Metamucil for the artists brain sounds great. Not that it'd do all that good for my system O_O but... yes!

<3 *huggles back... back?* Hee~ Welcome!

Hey there,

Meditation, ne? That's an interesting thought. I think I'll take your advice on that one. I mean heck, people say it works for other things so why not drawing? (Though that lsd sounds mighty tempting... ^_~)

Thanks heaps for your comment. It's great hearing from someone who's had the same difficulties and has overcome them. *sigh* The fun of being artistic, huh? *hugz*

I'm a dreadfully unhelpful crisis person. But I just want to let you know I hope that you recover soon and that when you do, your drawings will become more pretty than they were when you went into your slump. *Huggles*

P.S. Am looking forward to ch 3 of Paper Cut!! So please continue!

just stop worrying about it. The more you worry and fret over it, the more blocked up you'll get :P


...and how would you take metacuil for the brain? Straw in the ear?
