Art Problems - Blog Posts

I have so much creative energy and if someone does not give me some sort of project that uses up that energy I will be included to use it for destruction and/or violence

Why do people repost art and then no like it?? Like what is the purpose it happens to me all the time(aka like twice) but i see it on other posts to?

me: I wanna draw good! Person: study anatomy. Me: first of all how dare you

someone asked if I do commissions and I wanted to say yes but like… I’m not supposed to have social media and I was thinking about it. I should have just done it for free but like I didn’t think about it until it would’ve been weird to respond for a second time :(

Please read if you are a fan of my art

I have recently hit an all time low in my mental health since Covid. I do not have the time to do anything I love such as drawing. I have drawings in progress so this does not mean I have art block. But my schedule and mental health have made my time little to nothing for it.

I don't know how long I won't be able to draw. A lot has gone on and I just can't draw rn.

Thank you for your understanding ❤️

Thanks for reading episode #37 of Slices of Gremlin -- ("Fwoomp")! ...And for being patient as we change to a bi-weekly schedule for the present (I need to update the Webtoon graphic)! Do you ever have a day when you feel like going fwoomp? God bless!

I’ve realized every time I draw my inkling oc I forget the eye things. Imagine everytime you go in you’re art gallery (for me on procreate) you see a lovely piece of art THATS NOT PERFECT 💀

SEE

HOW

NOO

💀💀💀💀💀worst part is,,,, a lot of these are combined layers ,,,

I would draw smth rn but my iPad is at low battery and so is my Apple Pencil… I hate life rn.

Artist Problems

Having a ton of ideas for things you want to make but not being able to use any of them.

Because:

- You don’t have time to make them because of school, work, personal problems or other stuff.

- You forgot to write it down and now it’s lost in void of your thoughts (probably) forever.

- Either you have no motivation enough to make it. Or you realise it won’t ever come out the way you had in mind because your not at the skill level needed for the making that kind of piece.

- You have an artblock or procrastinate for any other possible reason whatsoever.

- You get demotivated because someone already made something similar looking and you’re under the assumption they’re way better anyway.

- People critisize your ideas to the point where you don’t even believe in them anymore.

- You get distracted by social media, tv, events or other stuff.

- Your ideas include way to much work to do all alone. But you don’t know not enough people who would possibly want to help you create even one idea without getting payed.

- Someone steals your ideas and keeps using them without permission.

- You started a project but the people who you worked with you on it throw you out of the group, mistreat you or leave the project themselves.

- You get sick, injured or don’t feel good for another reason. And are practicly unable to work.

- Your art teacher laughs at your ideas and way of making them.

- Your inspiration runs out and you get stuck.

That moment where you're halfway through an animatic and you suddenly decide you loathe everything about your art style.

my fingertips are like raccoon paws. they are the opposite of pink toe beans. they are stained black by pastels and no matter how hard I try, they always return to their forever crusty animal paw state hhhhhhhhhhhhh

i sprayed fixative on my drawing because it kept smudging but now i want to erase something and I canttttt

While making a small introduction comic, I'm just now remembering how much anger is bubbling up inside of me while creating perspective in each panel.

"I think I'll do some drawing today!"
