Devious Journal Entry

Well gee, I haven't written a journal in a while.

So, how is everyone? I hope you are doing well.

As you could probably tell, I've been in quite the art block since like March. I just can't seem to churn them out like I used to without getting extremely angry at my attempts.

It's not like I'm losing interest (if anything I'm getting more and more into art everyday), it's just that I've learnt so much lately and my standards for myself have gone WAY up...

I just need some good, ol'fashioned, pure practice, without expecting too much from myself right away. I need to be more patient.

I think I need to drastically cut back on technology too. Lately I've been lurking in forums, playing Pokemon, and watching the Movie Network for hours that I could've spent drawing!

This means that the next step for me is a little more dedication and a more positive outlook! I have to stop feeling sorry for myself and start feeling that pencil in my hand!

I usualy make more art during the summer, when i'm so bored I get inspiration (odd don't ya think) besides im usualy so busy with school work i don't have time , and school is one big creativity sponge D:. when ever i draw anything im usually expecting it to be horrible...usually because it is horrible :/

It seems that everyone is in a funk. I'm feeling almost the exact same way. My standards have gone up, my talent (if that's what you wanna call it XD) is in a transition, and so the two aren't meshing because I can't make the picture flow. Plus, ideas are just not there at this time. Truly is annoying, so I feel for you. :hug:

Well yeah that reminds me of another thing I thought of...
So far, this reminds me of last year. Last spring, it was a lot like this one, since I couldn't seem to translate my thoughts onto paper (or rather, this year, canvas)... But then when summer came around it all just flowed out and I finished over 30 images in 2 months! Then again, last year I had an excuse, since I had a boyfriend occupying my time. :< So now I'm hoping it's because of applying what I've learnt...
*sighhuffpuff*
Sorry, went off on a bit of a rant there.

Ah yes! That's exactly it... Hopefully it's only temporary... ;)
Thanks. :hug:
