boyhair&hoodies&also it would be nice 2have ears that stuck out a little more
i threw out all my drawings, paintings, and projects from first/second year, as well as ALLLLLLL the lifedrawing stuff from OCAD i thought would be a good idea to save (???) in one go.
going through all of it i realized that i'm STILL really awful at acrylic painting, and drawing w/ charcoal/conté. i really don't think i'm ever gonna be decent at it. :/
5yrs of drawing&painting courses and i'm still sucky at it, maybe i should just stick to my strengths. idk i'd like to be at least comfortable with handling those mediums, but is it even worth pursuing anymore hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
dude some people spend their whole life doing a medium before they consider themselves good at it... perhaps you are being a little hard on yourself? 'decent' to you and to anyone else is gonna be totally different... i bet you've hit decent, you're just not happy with it yet... which of course you may never be. but do it for the love of it! your strengths are what you use as your main skills, right? but the other stuff, that should be done just because you like it or would like to get better, not because you have to. anyway maybe i'm biased because i love everything you do without fail. :)
ReplyDeleteahh <3
Deletei totally agree. i have a bad habit of comparing myself to those around me, and being marked based on our skill level in those mediums just made me not like it even more? getting Cs and Ds wasn't very motivational haha.
BUT i'm totally going to take your advice to heart, especially now since i'm done school. doing things because i like it and want to improve as opposed to doing it because i have to <3
gotta focus more on what i love about those mediums rather than what i don't like!
