augh why do i bother. by kestral

why do I even bother with art anymore... half the time its just a little fucking headshot doodle of a warm up and then i'm all 'okay i drew something i'm done.' and then i go back to staring at what ever website catches my interest.

I miss the days where I knew at least once a week i'd be able to hang out with fellow like minded people and my art production was actually up. I didn't care about quality and shit like that because I thought my own art was decent for what it was.

right now i'm working on a commission that has been fighting me since OCTOBER. true a lot of the fight was because I had to reconstruct the entire damned thing due to a massive memory leak where i lost the majority of my art files along with music and important documents. and its a subject the commissioner KNOWS I am not able to draw well at all, yet I'm trying because fuck first commission since that screwed up reference I did two years ago, and can't fix it cause that file was also lost.

uugh whyyyy

i'm venting it helps me feel a little better.

augh why do i bother.

    I hope you'll keep drawing. Even if it's not a ton and you don't post much......your art is really good and you should keep at it. :)

        You're very welcome! :)

        I understand. I have only drawn one new thing in..............months. I have a lot of linearts (46.......counted them yesterday) that need to be colored, so if I work on those I'll have things to post. But it feels so weird to not be able to be "motivated" to draw NEW things. I used to be able to do at least one thing a week. sigh

          i had found in the past that working on the stuff that needed finished tends to help with the guilt of not doing something new... maybe i should try that myself pfft.

            It could be therapeudic. :)

            I want to try and color at least two a week..........if I can manage it. Maybe it will inspire me to draw new things......? XD
