(no subject)
Apologies for not checking peoples' posts or comments and stuff. I've been busy busy busy.
And I have never been so zitty in my life. Yes, you needed to know that. But anyways, I think I'm more stressed out than I let myself believe. I'm good about suppressing shit like that, becausde most of the time it's just a matter of me needing to suck things the hell up and just trying harder and besides, whining about is even annoying to me. Especially since it's almost always about the same things. Art angst ahead, so skip it if you'd like.
I don't know if the art classes are helping much. Figure drawing is helping me tremendously in terms of proportion and anatomy and weight, but style-wise, I'm still stuck. And seeing everyone else who are so comfortable in their styles or know what they want their styles to look like makes it all even harder sometimes. I wisn I wasn't so insecure with the way I draw when I'm not consciously concentrating on it. I hate the way my sketch lines stutter across the page and aren't straight or smoothly curved and don't connect properly and about a billion other things, blah blah blah. I don't know whether that's simply the natural way my body draws or if it's something I can actually fight and improve on. I hate not being able to be happy with my art either way I draw...it seems like I can only draw with either a derivative style or a "natural" one that I dislike. Either way, it's irritating as hell. But as always, just gotta keep going at it. I know I'm not a bad artist, and that being conscious about what I'm doing wrong is going to help me become better overall, but this damn style issue is really discouraging every time I start drawing. I wish this were easier for me to get over.
On a happier note, I hope you all had a happy Fourth of July. I did. I like fireworks.
Okay, now back to my stupid bird animation. This shit takes for-fucking-ever.
