when im in that state of mind all care for what i actually draw goes out the window. And i just lay down the crappiest stupidest thing I can think of just to laugh at it. (an it mostly ends up here hee hee)

and because I know it’s crappy art that im outputing i don’t expect people to like it.

Infact i get more upset when people do.

Extremely low. I can actually prove it with the down vote scores most of my drawings got. Experiment gone way wrong I might say.

And that’s why at times I prefer to commission my ideas using the skill of people with the gift. But the artists I highly admire seem so hard to communicate with and/or busy so I try myself and fall on my ass.

Working on it…

@Phobia
have you made anything new lately?

@Phobia
Don’t beat up yourself.

Imma tell you a story. A few years ago, I drew some sketches on my notebook. The drawings were terrible and I really wished I could’ve drawn better. They even had notes to explain any characters I’ve made. Then, one of my friends saw my drawings and notes.

He loved it. He loved it so much that he told everyone else. And then it continued.

They told me that my drawings weren’t cool, but the ideas I had behind them were. They even asked me to make characters based on them. Even drew it for them.

The words they gave me encouraged me a whole lot. Currently, my drawings is still shit, but I still try. My skills at drawing is obviously suckish but that doesn’t mean I can’t make something out of it.

This little project of mine, starting from a handful of characters and encouragement of my friends… has transformed into an entire world of diverse characters, history, locations and items.

I’m still making it. Though I can’t draw, I keep it all in my mind, wishing one day, maybe I can make it on a piece of paper.

This started 7 years ago.

Urgh, This is starting to turn into a shit-storm that will likely engulf my little skiff. so I’m going to sail away from this thread and dock up somewhere with easier waters. Good luck, I guess and stuff.

Just fucking great…only been working on that since I started a year and a half ago and it is still fucking broken. How about I just copy others work and call it mine? Might as well, I’m ready to give up…and I mean on everything, not just this.

Look man, I stopped doing anything on my lunch breaks but drawing for two years to get where I am today and I still suck… A lot. So much so that Garry Glissmeyer found it important enough to elaborate how how poorly rendered my artistic scribblings actually were. but I degrees, honestly if you want to draw well you have to keep at it. I have no idea why you say that you would get your ass handed to you if you where drawing at school, but if it’s because you want to draw ponies involved in “sensual predicaments” then you should try drawing something different while in school like your surroundings, your favorite album covers, plane crashes, or even Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Honestly, just because you aren’t great now doesn’t mean that you will never be. It just means that you have a ways to go. Just because I give you a two doesn’t mean that you are only worth a two.
