Sometimes I absolutely hate myself. I work hard on a piece of art and in the end I absolutely hate it. Sometimes I feel I set my own expectations too high... I mean, I know the piece isn't terrible. It doesn't look like my three year old drew it. But still... I hate when I work hard on something and then in the end I'm disgusted.
The worst part is that it was a commission I did for somebody... And like I said, it's really not that bad. Not bad enough that I feel I need to scrap it. Just for whatever reason, I dislike it.
This is normally how my art blocks start. I draw something, end up hating it and then it seems every other thing I try to draw after that annoys me. But I have to push through it now. I want to be able to make extra money with my art so I can't be stopped by these "feelings" I get.
I need a new computer dammit. Duct tape and clothes hangers aren't going to hold this thing together forever. My husband accidentally knocked into it yesterday and I felt my heart jump up into my throat. It's a laptop so fortunately the main computer is fine and working great... it's just the screen that's broken and about to come off. So if the wires in the screen ever break, I'm screwed. And of course, it's cheaper to just buy another computer then try to replace the screen.
Baaahhh... that's my mini rant for today.
