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.

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.
