draw more often

I’m not so bad with the permanent marker drawings, probably because they’re easier than detailed pencil drawings.

I’m forcing myself to do pencil drawings though. I know it’s no good to force myself, because then it’s like I’m doing something I don’t enjoy, but that’s not true, I just lack motivation. I want to be a really good pencil artist (photorealism if possible!) but I won’t get there unless I practise, and I won’t practise unless I make myself.

I also have a habit of finding TONS of ref pictures of all the people I want to draw, but I already have some unfinished ones from months ago. So know I’m telling myself that I can’t start any new drawings until I finish the half-done ones. I think it works, I’m really trying to complete these three drawings, I’m just scared of making a mistake with the shading.

I’m gonna go try and finish one now.

I’m not doing too bad at this right now but I just can’t tick this goal off yet. In the past few weeks I’ve cranked out quite a few permanent marker drawings and I intend to carry on. I really want to start pencil drawings again but they’re just so painfully bad when I do them and I’m never EVER motivated… it really sucks.

I also want to start trying things like charcoal and pastel drawings, but the thing that would make me cry so hard is if I could do ink drawings… they r00l so much, but I’m just too scared to try new things… fear of failure, you see.
