Drawn to a conclusion

Wed Feb 21, 2007, 8:08 AM
I hate everything I draw, and I have long since come to the conclusion that I hate drawing. Hate it. I used to love it, as recent as two years ago. But somewhere along the line I realised that a) I'm shit at drawing, b) I get angry when I draw and I'm never satisfied with what I've done, and c) I'm shit at drawing.

The only work I can say I am pleased with is Fried, and even then drawing it was a chore I tried to avoid. That's why the update schedule for Fried was so erratic.

I can learn to animate in Flash, but that won't change the fact that I hate drawing now. I won't want to animate it because I won't want to draw the required parts to animate in the first place.

I know how you feel. It'll get better; if you're anything like me, you'll probably just pick it back up at some point, out of an odd desire to create, and hopefully something will just click that you like.

Practice.

If you hate what you're drawing, try drawing something else, or draw the same thing better.

You've got a very distinctive style, try to develop it.
