I feel inadequate

hands
Learning is hard. Re-learning is harder. =\

lol wtf idk. In addition to the cat, I’ve also realized that in my years of attempting to be artistic and being a self-proclaimed artist, I never actually bothered learning how to draw the foot. (Among many other fundamentals.) I remember in gr.11 I think, I had one of those “sketch a day” goals that I kept up for about a week or two before giving up. (Laziness, lack of inspiration/creativity, school work, etc.) That little exercise was to get me to stop drawing headshots with cliche angles/expressions (and those headshots were anime, not even portraits, so you can imagine how n00b I was.) I think the requirement was down to waist at least, with at least one hand showing. Because yeahhhh I could use improvements in hands. I guess strangely enough that one week or so of scribbling did some good in hands, because I did get better and was much more observant with hands later on. But feet… DX why wasn’t it feet.

lol anyway… the point is now that I’m once again starting to (slowwwly) get back into art, after a 3-year art block, I see so many problems with myself that I used to ignore in all my adolescent pride. I always stayed in my comfort zone and never ventured outside. Even now, I am still within my comfort zone. I only draw slim pretty feminine hands, I only draw expressionless or very little facial muscles involved expressions purdy or otherwise “easy” to draw people — usually girls. If I don’t know what I’m doing then slap some random strokes and colours and call it “speedpaint”. And people! I always draw people. Well, I like drawing people, always have always will kind of thing. And just this subject area alone can have me practising for a few years with the progress I’m making. Don’t even get me started on other equally important aspects, like perspective. Oh god I can’t do perspective. I’ve only really done 2-point perspectives, isn’t that sad? =( Why have I been blinded for so many years as an “artist”? =( I either never received constructive criticism or did but purposely filtered them out. I feel inadequate. =( Please leave the artist-wannabe in her little emo corner for now.

you are, Wind

wind

你像「  风 」那样的自由
吹拂过我的世界
转眼就消失在我的领空
我的心 却被吹走
遗落在不知名的地方
随「 风 」移动

我知道握不住 但却
还是会留恋
总显得那么无助

我的心 却像「 风 」筝
没了「 风 」⋯
只能无助的滑落



Click here to see how it was painted. I kinda miss openCanvas now lol. Is there a Mac oC? =(

Unrelated, I find my dad watching kdrama extremely funny (and hypocritical.)

taroo
Diana’s cat is soooo cute T___T and pretty! I want those blue eyes ): stfu I know they’re cat eyes. Her name is Taro!

On another note this is my first (complete) CG in years lol o__o don’t remember the last time I started and finished a drawing in one sitting? (I don’t know why I’m so calm about this. Years, yearrrrrssss!!!!)

The cat actually is black and white fur but I did want to make it a bit colourful, didn’t work out too well I guess. =O Christie suggested green grass! Was too lazy to overlay colours so I made cheap white grass… =O Excuse me.

IKEA tomorrow!! Yay laptop stand and bed sheets for school~
