Annoyed about art

Thu Oct 1, 2009, 1:52 PM

Mood: Questionable
Listening to: the power of one x-ray dog
Reading: my mum's story

I have recently been really annoyed with how thin my art abilties are.
I've been working on drawing trees and rocks mostly, basics for scenary, but I would really like to extend my skills in general.
I'vealso been getting out my coloured pencils more.
But I have just been generally...discouraged.
Everyone on here is so good! And I am so...average

If anyone had any art-skill-ehancing/extendeding tips, I would LOVE t hear them...or...read them...

Even if it's just like 'standig on your head makes repetitive pactise easier' or something like that.

So yeah, I am headng out for the day which shall be fun...all I have left to say is

LISTEN TO X-RAY DOG IT IS THE BEST MUSIC EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

(Oh and :iconcrushed-orages: is you read this, i need to go so, what time is he ting on sunday?)

To improve any background, the best thing is to look up on good ways to do perspective and to know where your vanishing points are.

It seems like there's a big uninspirational shitty blue feeling about art going 'round xD. I feel the same, and I've read others feeling just like you as well.

don't feel discouraged.

I don't actually know the time for sunday! :S
I still have to find that out, haha...

I'm totally going to do that! I suck at distance-perspective if you know what I mean, like, the size of a tree compared to the size of a tree 300m away or something.

Depend on the rabbits foot if you will, but remember, it didn't work for the rabbit.

Maybe it's just that time of year.
Blame the winter solstice!
