improve my drawing skills

It feels as though I fell down instead of getting up. Slowly though, I have been working again on my skills. It’s difficult because sometimes I feel like nothing I do will matter to anyone, yet I have to find my own love in what I do.

I’m unhappy today, so this entry is a little more solemn. But I’m trying as much as I can to get better. Hopefully the art will be more than simple shades and lines on paper.

Now that school is done for this year, I have time to really get out there and DRAW stuff!! I’ll get to take a little vacation sometime, too! It’ll do me well to get away from the province for a bit!

At this time, I’ve been doing more with shading and such! I’m feeling better about it, but oy! Gotta get some more anatomy done!

I’m showing a little girl I drew! But the girl’s pic is actually on google images! Just look up “little girl” and you’ll find it! :D I’ve been progressing on that for some time. I’m slow!

I’m drawing again!! Yay!! Well, little things, but they mean a great deal to me. At least I can see that some of the stuff I’m creating looks better NOW than it did a while ago! I’ll keep at it. I have many drawings to do…lots of projects that I’ll finally try and finish.

One way I need to improve is to remember what some characters look like…at least their heads. Even if I don’t make a great effort to make the piece look good. :) So I drew one character that I really miss drawing: Dilandau from Vision of Escaflowne. So I shall disclaim…he’s not my creation!

I need to draw bodies next…then put both together! I draw in pieces way too much!

Almost every day I draw a little something. I may not have much time to do more than that, but doodling is certainly helping me feel less behind. :) Though I find myself drawing some rather somber looking things, but I think it’s reflecting my mood, for once.

I’ve been dragging my feet where improvement with drawings is concerned. I try to draw something I like, and then I worry about how nice it looks. I get wrapped up in everything from critiques to how many people look at my artwork.

So now, all of the things that I let get to me, and time (school), really changed my outlook on drawing. So I want to get back into improving and enjoying myself. :(
