Wow. I can still draw.I already mentioned how it’s easier to draw what comes from inside, even though it may be taken with disgust by the other people. Life gets more “fun”. Some people even consider me dead already. And I wonder if I can dodge the next crap thrown at me by the Universe. I don’t believe it’s to teach me anything. What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. And that one kills. I’m not given a bit of a break. It’s kind of a gamble what goes first. My heart? My brain? I lack sleep, my eyes forgot how to not be red, my cut by doctors stomach barely digests… One day something will stop.And I guess I’ll be drawing that day. I can still use the options that’s left for me. Can’t go on with the comic yet. Last time I tried I got 2 months of hell in my face. But I love drawing, I’ll continue, bit by bit. It’s funny how things get awful but I take the pencil and it takes me away from it all. Hands still remember. Or maybe I lost my marbles and can’t see how terrible the basics are. ^^; I still suck at perspective and volume. I never had a chance to learn that. I guess that’s college stuff and I never got that luxury.I love my little Eri and I hope I’ll get a chance to make her life a bit longer. And thanks to everyone who supports me. :thanks:K, let’s burn.
I will say that perspective and volume aren’t just taught in college. I find it insulting that you’d say you suck at it in fact, because you’re one of the best artists I’ve ever seen at volume. even here, eri’s curves, those harshly fletched arrows, that old gnarled tree, it almost surprises me that the monitor is smooth to the touch. and you’ve done perspective flawlessly every time I’ve seen you do it. it’s insulting because I’m not as good at perspective and volume, so does that mean you think I suck at it too?
I know the cliché is to modestly deride your own art, being your own worst critic etc. but it’s not a selfless act. you have a responsibility to love your art, to support all of us who can barely hold a candle to it. it hurts that you’re not more recognized for it, and people don’t think it’s worth anything, but those people exist for every artist. so fuck those guys, take a look at your work, love your own beautiful success at filling a scene with perspective and volume, and then say you want to get even better at it, not that you suck at it. it’s okay to appreciate what you have drawn, even if you can see ways it might have been drawn better. there will (hopefully) be future opportunities to do it better, but doing it better won’t make your previous work any less wonderful.
