Devious Journal Entry

Sat Dec 13, 2008, 3:56 AM
I think I'm ready to give up drawing.. Sorry if I disappointed you but that's life. I feel that I have reached my peak and can no longer go on with my "so called talent" and get better. I been drawing longer then most people here and I have not gotten any better.

People I see here where born to draw at there age (which is alot younger then me) they are great at what they do. I unfortunatly wasn't born with this talent the only reason why I did it was because of Jeff Scott Campbell and Jim Lee, The only two people on this planet that really inspired me to draw.

But I can never duplicate what they can do nor be a great as they could. So I think as my dreams so I have yet to still figure out what I want to do with myself. I will still do some art thingies but not drawing so much.

Why is it when a person is going to get the leathal injection the doctor still swabs the area with alcohol first before putting the needle in?

I know its just. Its really frustrating seeing someone younger then me draw great better then me great, and they would have drawn for years. its like it comes naturally to them like they where born with the pencil in there hands.

i find people better than me every day. but thats the way things work..wrather then be disheartend on how they are better then me, i look at it as fuel for my inspiration to get better!!my friend is already an animator and shes 2 years younger than i am. i am still serching for my style something that can take years if not an indiviguals entire life. you weather or not youd like to belive it have a natural ablilty of drawing people..wheather it be animated or not is irelivent. a talent which you surpass me in..i can not draw people to save my life..hands and eyes i can daw but putting them onto a whole is another story. you in that sence as well as many others are better than me. i have confidence that you will find your way out of this slump sooner or later and when you do i am sure that you will even amaze yourself!

advice this takes
a huge amount of
time to learn i
am only learning
how to do the human
anatomy over christmas
because i only got
the books for my presents.
so my point is you wont
get drawing the anatomy
straight away.
because that is the main
thing that needs to be worked
on for alot of these works
through out deviantart.
probably start with the
easy books like how to
shade inadament objects and
shading than start on the
human anatomy because that is
truthfully the only way to learn
manga books only show so much
but if you use still life objects
like balls,toys etc...
you will acually see the difference because the shading
is learnt during this process..
honey i am learning this process
this year because my older sister
was nice enough to tell me..
from what the easiest way to learn
is to learn the bone structure,muscles and movement.
than the rest will follow
did you know even famous artists
still struggle with their art still??
even god konws how long they have been drawing just probably do a bit of research on your art if you want to because everyone is
different and see...
but to improve my art i am
studying still life art to help
with my manga immensely okay
just do not give up okay i was
about to until i found a different way of seeing art.
by the way my mum said Merry Christmas!! And me!!
:iconbluedragonink:
well I have books too about the human anatomy but its not really human anatomy but its the comics, manga, anime and what not. So which is why I ref alot. which I Hate because i feel like its cheating. I always believed that a real artist knows how to draw everything and anything, like I see on here on DA. I understand 3D objects quite well but what I can't understand is all the angles of the human body. Merry Christmas you guys From America. Try not to get too hot, Since our seasons are different then yours.

one can only hope. My dad didn't like it that I told him that I wanted to quit drawing because I promised him and my step mom that was going to draw stuff for them. As soon as I find a picture of Keeatah I'm going to start on the project that you asked for.

the realistic human anatomy
is highly important because
this helps you understand alot
more including objects..
the human body takes years
to understand even the manga
artists get it wrong because
realistically we are not
that skinny...
basically it is your choice
i tried to cheat it got me
no were my sister done it the right way she has got into a similar thing to the uni art classes...
by the way it on and off weather
down here rogue one day it is cold the next hot must be global warming....
