"I want to draw, but I don't want to see what comes out. I'm always both excited and depressed about art at the same time. It's so stupid, and it's always the same things every time. You'd think I'd be able to change by now." Ha! I was wondering what was up and why artgrind hadn't been blessed with your beautiful pencilmenship in a while.
Trust me when I say that I have the exact same problem. A lot of the time, I'll sit with my sketchbook, wanting to draw, but I tell myself that I won't like it, so I don't. You might not believe me, but I get really nervous when I show my things because I really don't like what I produce and everything seems the same to me [aka: headshots]. And if I do like it, the next day, I hate it and feel very embarrassed. But that's the journey of every artist, I believe. And even though it's a tough journey, we have to keep sketching to get better...
Maybe it's just me, but I get anxious every time I draw because I feel like I need to show someone. But then I tell myself that I don't...?
I don't know. I think I'm being rather confusing because I'm in a hurry to get out the door, but hey. Is it ok if I add you? I think I can be rather helpful in inspiring folks when I'm not so jittery. D:
Coolbeans on your mom turning 50. And have fun at summer art school. I did something like that once for two weeks and I did nothing but party the whole time. :D It'll help though, don't worry.
Yeah. So this is what people mean by "suffering artistry," huh? But yeah, I guess all you can really do is keep working at things, and know at least that you're not alone. Thanks for your comment (it was pretty inspirational, so don't worry)!

And ok, because I was worried I sounded more like an idiot than anything else. ;_;
