Going ... Crazy or something

[kittycow]

Augh, i feel depression closing in. STAY BACK! I have no want of you. And I feel an art crisis or something right now too. Which is weird, cuz I think I just drew something rather nice. :/ But it could all still stem from having a headache all freakin day and not being able to sleep and having not eaten in over 12 hours and blah blah blah.

D: You seem to have a good prospective of what's upsetting you. That's the first step to making it better!

And I hear you about the whole Anime thing. I kind of hate myself sometimes for continuing with a stiff Anime style for so long, especially now that I only find about 20% of all Anime art appealing.

The only thing I can suggest is don't limit yourself to one style for now, and maybe try draw from life or something? At least faces, since when you're trapped in the AnimeBubble for so long, those tend to start looking stale 8[ *personal experience*.

8D And grow some balls and call one of your friends! Seriously. Just get into contact with somebody you can go see a movie with or something. I know it's scary sometimes trying to take the initiative, but I'm sure if you go be with someone you like for awhile, you'll be way happier. I know I always am.

*CHEERS YOU ON!*

man here here with the art rant. that got me. i feel like that a lot and i know others who draw feel the same way. when i think about it like that it doesn't bother me as much. there is just this rollercoaster of depression and somehow popping up out of it for a while when you just put it aside. i'd love to find my own style lol. i think everyday it is something else tho. :/
I looked back at something I had done in 2003 and WOAH the difference is amazing! D: that perked me up. to at least know in the years it makes a difference even if i don't see it in months.

and plz get together with me soon! I got you somethang! even tho it aint as cool as the vud you gave me :< (he went to las vegas with me btw xD )

I can recognise Lina stuff D:

Maybe we should both agree to put out at least two real things each week, and if we do REAL stuff each time, its more likely to get something more lina-ish? Maybe draw alot of messy stuff reeeeally fast so you don't have a chance to pull out another technique and you'll have to make your own. Or maybe ee should go draw perspective stuff. Its near impossible to draw rooms anime-like, and its feels strangely accomplishing-like.

Or you could do crafts and stuff. And get your own style there. (We need our plushieeees)

Take medicines for headaches. I'd work as a cook in a gourmet baby restaurant if it would let me be un-allergic.

Don't let that depression get you! >O I know what all of that is like and there's nothing worse than falling into a slump because of the way things pile up.

I do, however, think that you already have a very unique art style. I can always tell something that you've done and I know that you can do a million amazing things. You have such a great amount of talent and I really feel like there are so many things you can do with it, you just can't give up and fall into that dark place that we all sink into once in a while...

I can even relate to the friend rant. I don't call people or make plans with people, either. I know that if some of my friends didn't push me to be social I would be a hermit and I would never ever go out. As far as knowing what your friends are thinking, you can always ask me what's on my mind. I'll always tell you and I'd never lie to you.

You're one of the greatest, strongest people that I know. I know that you can pull through these feelings and something will click for you.

If you keep practicing your style will appear before you. Mine only has recently, like, it wasn't as developed in November.

-___- every day I fight back depression. I hate it.

D: awww. I'm sorry.
