Sorry, I'm confused. If you hate drawing, why did you ever bother to get so good?WD said:I barely draw actual pieces of work anymore. Especially not on the computer cause I lack a tablet and a mouse. Also, I hate drawing.
Not always. There is for example no free program that can do music typesetting like Finale or Sibelius; while Lilypond reputedly does a better job in the actual typesetting, it lacks many of the other features such as playback and WYSIWYG.sixtyseconds said:Rule 67: There's always a freeware that can do better what a premium program can do. You just have to search for it.
This drawing is actually good. It may be the best I've seen from you.WoodenRat said:
Agreed on the scanner point. Those drawings hurt my eyes, but I think that's solely due to the photo quality; if they were scanned properly, I think they'd be pretty good.Cripplechair said:I sporadically draw, but most of what I have drawn isn't uploaded onto my computer (I badly need a scanner). Here're two I have handy, maybe I'll snap some pics of my other stuff later.

Lace said:Solution: Don't give a fuck about what other people say. Art cannot be considered "good" or "bad" by some definable metric. That is, screw anatomy. Screw poses, screw expressions, screw anybody who tries to judge your art.
If you draw what you want to draw without worrying about the composition itself, it will hopefully cease to be a stressor and become enjoyable again. That's what really matters. Furthermore it's still likely to be awesome so stop self deprecating.

I didn't bother to get 'good'. It just happened. I'm somewhat artistically inclined..even though I think I suck.
I have bad confidence issues and jealousy issues too. I thought I was okay until I started going on the internet. And then I got stressed out and thought I would never get better and didn't feel like trying..and every time I did I would hate it. I can't do poses, expressions, really simple drawing essentials..everything I do seems to be..flat. Since I learned that anatomy is srs bsns from all the strict drawing books I read that would nitpick everything, I tried to focus on that..but I was afraid to play with poses in case the anatomy would be fucked up. So now I just think they are flat and unoriginal. In short: I don't find it enjoyable anymore. It's not a hobby, it's a stressor. And since it seems I'm not passionate enough to pursue it and try my best, I suppose it's just not for me in general.
Sorry for sounding so brooding and emo, but I just wanted to explain.
