I messed up the winners' drawings. Why must I not know how to draw without messing up? I messed up the colors so much and heck, I'm not good at coloring one bit. I tried doing something different on Canine's drawing and it ruined a part of it. I couldn't figure out how to draw Penguin's snow leopard so I drew it randomly and you can't even tell which animal it is now.
I'm nothing but a huge failure. I'm so sorry to the winners.
As you can see, I had to draw digitally over the wolf's nose because stupid me decided to use a white pen to separate the nose from the body. Sorry.
Just, I'm sorry! I've never drawn snow leopards before and I messed up the proportions so much.
You know what? The worse part is that I spend so much time experimenting different drawing styles and this is how I did. Wow.
Okay so, a year ago, I used to say my drawings were awful just to get support and now I truly see the need to why I should say they are awful. I sometimes see kinda tacky pieces of artwork on the internet and it bothers me when the artist says they're really good.
My face is red with embarrassment because these were supposed to be drawings for winners of my giveaway.
This post sounds like the one that will get those fake ''No, they're cool Purple!'' comments. :pulls out popcorn box:
I better end this post before crybaby me starts crying from embarrassment.
Bye and sorry.
I really need to stop making these vent posts.
PurpleStar.. A year ago. I would say my drawings were the best in the biz. They were amazing. Spectatcular. (I was kinda Bragy) I was so proud of them. Now.. I can't even draw one thing. I start drawing and I CRY. I CRY. They're horrible. Terrible. I keep telling myself I could do a better job making a masterpiece. I try that. And I rage quit. I just CANT do it. They're horrifying. I hate everything I've tried to make. Today I was making a masterpiece of a horse. I finished up for the day and thought "This might actually be good" I look back at it later and I hated it. It looked weird. And I didn't have the colors in the tool bar. The point is I am a fake. A fraud. Do you know why you never see my fan art? I'm to embarrassed to make them after the first try I had. I'm a cheater. I'm not a real artist. I'm a fraud at life. I never put effort into anything and still do great at it. I cheat life. I hate myself. I really can't do anything. I'm so depressed. I just want school to start. I wanna see if I still even have friends. My life is a mess and I could tell you about that but, I'll spare you. Normally I'd comment with my Google +. I'm just gonna go anonymous. I post on every blog I can. Look for the one person who didn't post this time. I'm just gonna tell my mom I'm sick so I can climb into bed and cry.
ReplyDeleteThat's how I used to talk when I started drawing. Then I found a person to look up to. Thew drew amazing. I found a art style for me and I felt happy. Sometimes mistakes are good so you can learn new things.
ReplyDeletePlease don't give up because I feel lonely being the only artist in the blogger community.
DeleteDon't sweat it, Purple! I think you're a great artist and if you enjoy drawing, just keep practicing and you will get better. :)
ReplyDeletePurple, these drawings are amazing! You're much better than you think you are at art. You just don't see it that way. You could be me an not even be good at art! If I drew a snow leopard, it would probably look like a clump of colors.
ReplyDeleteOk, I know this sounds cheesy, but your drawings are so cute too!
ReplyDeleteBut anyway, I think I can relate to how you're feeling. Like whenever I draw or write sonething, I see all the flaws in them. Yes, even my art from my latest post. But I just post them anyways lol because I lack logic nowadays. But, I feel like it's weird for me to say this, but I think posting your own art gives you more confidence somehow. Like it can get your art more known, and people can also maybe give ways to improve. I think the main thing that's holding us back in art is the anatomy. Anatomy is such a hard concept to grasp though. Art tutorials and reference sheets are a great help. And for AJ animals specifically, I think at the back of each animal book in the Chamber of Knowledge there are these tutorials on how to draw the animals. I think it's best to just draw a plain animal and then just draw its patterns and clothing items surrounding the animal shape.
For the wolf, it's really just working on the anatomy. The body has to be bigger and longer if you want the head size to stay the same. And I actually think your snow leopard drawing does look like a snow leopard on AJ. Perhaps making the body a little bigger will help with the anatomy. Eh, I don't know if that'll be much help since you finished the drawings already. So I guess just refer to art tutorials if you have the chance, and be more aware of the head to body ratio when drawing animals or people.
(wow this comment is long; hope my comment was somewhat helpful ^-^')
Aww, it's okay

ReplyDeleteAh, yes. Thanks so much. I actually made the wolf with the large head and small body for a reason. It was supposed to be a doodle in my own Chibi style. The snow leapard was also supposed to be drawn in my own style but I couldn't figure out a unique style so I basically drew it in the AJ style which I usually don't do. :P
Anatomy is really hard. TBH
Thanks for the tips. The ones you gave me on your blog really helped me with my human drawings. :D
Ah, no prob, Purple. I thought you were drawing them in the AJ style, haha. Chibi.. that's cool.
DeleteAw thanks, glad I could be a help!
Don't be crazy, you're drawings ARE amazing! I love your art style! And don't worry, every artist messes up a TON before they get to be their best! Heck, I mess up on almost every drawing I make.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, I'm so sorry. But just remember, everyone is unique. I bet that, if you revealed your artwork, no one would think it's horrible. I know how it feels to have others rising above you in the art world, but are they really rising above? Everyone has their own style. Honestly, there shouldn't be people who are considered better at art than others. Maybe that person is better in their own style, but I bet if they tried someone's else's, they would totally fail.
ReplyDeleteBasically what I'm saying is, everyone has their own way of drawing, and that there's no reason to doubt yourself. Your artwork is amazing in its own way, and like I said before, if you showed even a few people your art, everyone would love it. I really hope this helped you out! :)
