I didnt think it was possible. Ive been drawing since forever, and now with nearly a year of drawing abstinence Ive been set back nearly to a level i had in seventh grade. At this point of fucking jealous of neckface. Wait no, not quite.

i feel yah..

Man, I get like this when I have a break from uni. Other than exam time I don't really write anythign down (except in some lectures) and my speed is no-where near up to scratch.

 

Sometimes it pisses me off.

I get blocks all the time. I've been trying to draw a cartoony skateboard truck for the past two weeks and i just can't do it. I've just come to accept that there's a lot of things i can't draw.

Hal is good at teh drawingz.

Im pretty sure he just said he couldn't draw skateboard trucks. Get it happening. In a hurry...

He lied!

Hals got fans. I want fans. Or pics to go with this cheeseball thread.

He does.

He did, Shaolin has a point. I dont care of what but pics or do as shaolin says.

Pics of what?

Pics of why I cant draw.

Well maybe it's like why you can't drive...

 

 

Need to open them shits son.

Thats it ima find your house and ima bust you up.

 

 

Complex keeps sending me their shit magazine and theres an ad for And1 with Mike James which is the dopest lookin sketch ive seen in a while. Vultures and sketons riding wolfs and shit.

What were you drawing?

I get like this with everything I take a break from.

 

especially drawing.

i 'forgot' how to draw the other day aswell, went to try draw an apple and lets just say an elephant would have done a better attempt..

I drew some shit on someones roof. It was fun.

Who gives a fuck if you don't draw correct images of what people think would make a "well drawn elephant"

Consider it as an advantage. I'm losing sleep trying to "learn off" all the rules I have learned at art schools.

 

It's different story if you lost you capability to see things and draw them to the paper... you know, eye-hand collaboration. Or forgot the practical stuff with equipment, medium and how they go together/react to each other. But that that's just useful, losing it doesn't really limit your creativity.

 

Sure, the image-copying-human-machine drawing could be frustrating if that's what you wanna be good at.

I never could draw in the first place so i'm doing fine.

fuck art school, seriously

i didnt sketch for about 2-3 months then when i started again it made me want to stop due to the terrible quality

it comes back eventually

its like a fat person riding a bike, they know they know how to do it, it just takes some getting used to again

you got it right. i was never a talented drawer anyway - but the more time i spent the better shit came out - the more time spent away - the more crappy shit came out.

i don't have any other comment really on art school - i do know two people that went to art school. one for sound engineering and the other for art or some shit. one now works for a carpenters union and the other works for the cable company.

I get blocks all the time. I've been trying to draw a cartoony skateboard truck for the past two weeks and i just can't do it. I've just come to accept that there's a lot of things i can't draw.

 

the ZEN of creation.... the harder you try the further you get from success.

make a sculpture instead.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

bad idea.

I have been in hiatus for a while and I feel the same way. I'm back to the basics. And the basics were pretty much what I was barely above when I left off. Guess I better sketch and paint 24/7 if I want to be anything more than another toy.

whos neckface?

Sometimes I get better when I don't draw for extended periods of time. It's pretty rad, but rare.

if i ever became jelly of neck face i'd smash my hand with a hammer
