haha, this modle looks like Leonardo Da Vinci
 ANYWHOO ON TO THE ANGSTY FRUSTRATED ARTIST EMO RANT! YAY!!!! FINALLY A DECENT DRAWING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GAWD!!!!!!!!! It only took me the whole freakin' semester for Christs sake! Sigh.....I've been struggling with art for quite a while now. Months, it seems I've made no progress, and have actually gone backwards. It's actually gotten me deeply depressed about art, and has me questioning the point of it. >__< But I feel like I'm finally getting back into the swing of things.....even though I have no real inspiration to do anything at the moment. The fear of working in customer service for the rest of my life is probably the only thing that's keeping me going at this point. About 4 weeks prior to today's class, ((when we last drew Tracey)) I was so frustrated with my drawings...............I know this will sound stupid...............but it had me at the brink of tears. The final straw was when I dropped my pencil and it broke, ((and it's was the kind you have to carve with a knife ))  So I had to go to the restroom and calm down for a bit because I figured it would be pretty embarrassing to cry in class.....especially for no apparent reason. >__<Then I ditched the following week.  Then we drew David again, which shockingly went very well, though my drawings were still disgraceful. Then TODAY! I KICKED ASSS drawing Jonathan! WOOOO! I feel so energized and happy!!!! I miss drawing like that. I feel like I've finally accomplished something today. I've been going since the last fall semester, not really making any significant growth in my art, and then feeling like I've been taking steps backwards all this semester....it gives me hope to see I'm finally getting out of this rut. ^___^ |

Serious good job though, something intense about it...
I know exactly how you feel, reading about your frustrations, its almost as if i wrote that myself, especially the part about working in customer service forever...*shudders*
If it helps you're very talented, and this piece is very good
I was having a artistic high about a couple months ago, I felt like I had grown a lot in the last year, and then, WHAM, it's like I hit a freaking, million foot tall, thousand foot thick, steel/concrete/brick WALL! I was not inspired whatsoever, I would sit down to draw, and nothing would come...arggg
I am not fully out of the slump yet, but something Glen Kean (I'm sure you know him, famous Disney animator) said I have always kept with me, I don't remember the exact quote, but it went something like this: "We often think that when we reach a certain point in drawing, and can't go on, that pretty much, we suck, and that's the extent of out talent. But no! That's only the extent of our knowledge! These are actually the times we should be celebrating, we have found a chink in our amour, so to speak, and know we can work on straightening it out."
Ok, that was, really, really long. But I am just glad there is someone else in the world going through this, and if you can come out of it, so can I!
