practice patience and perseverance

practicing and observing to learn from what i see

patience to know that art isn't a race and skills don't grow overnight

and perseverance for when i feel hella inferior and lacking to keep trying to improve myself

that's what i say to encourage people but the official story is that i stared at TV fuzz as a child and gained the power to absorb art skills from other people

Well, I lied a bit.

I cant draw stickmen, but I can draw hardsurface, which makes me sad, because occasionally there are people I want to draw....

I cant do landscapes.

Or humanoid objects.

I can do vehicles though, well ones without wheels.

I do really good spaceships.

I can look at something and copy it almost verbatim, given enough space. But I cannot draw something from an image I have in my head. Ever.

To clarify a bit, the problem is I can do hella good lines.

I cant into round, hence my problem with organic and wheeled vehicles.

[up] I wish I could do that but even coppying I just cant into round. >.<

My problem is my hands are usually not steady enough to draw straight lines.

And my curves do not end well.

Also I have a terrible habit of not being able to repeat a process- so I can't make one foot look the same as another without doing a mirror line.

But I'm not sure whether these are more problems that can be solved with practice.

I can't even hand-write particularly well.

It doesn't have the same script quality as others.

Which I suppose is good because its' more universally legible but- still.

This is why I'm going to practice. I disliked my old art classes but that was because I couldn't, or wasn't allowed to,draw what I wanted to.

At least you feel confident enough to draw your own avvies, which is more than many of us can say.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

I've got a Ninja!Coras hiding about in my gallery, let me fish it out.

Sadly I'm better at drawing turians than humans. Turians just have more rigid definition in their faces, which helps get the shape across better.

I'm pleased with my turians, just not with my human beings.

I can only do maps. Though people seem inordinately impressed when I can freehand draw a map from memory.
