What I Wish I Knew When I Started Drawing

[@sarahjken]

bravo 😮❤

[@ChrisEbbrsen]

As far as living in a new place, yes three months seems about right. Asfar as artwork goes, it takes me about two weeks from a layover to get back to the involvement and enjoyment that drawing or painting bestows. It takes awhile for my brain to trust what my hands are doing. Or my mind to trust what my eyes are seeing. When my drawing talks back to me Im doing something correct. Then the drawing wil start teaching me. When and if the drawing judges me thats when i know im making progress. Hi Kirsty!

2:11 is an interesting thought... thanks for motivating me to not lose hope and keep drawing 💪

[@adarfrida]

Glad this spoke to you…thank you for watching :)

Switch to distilled water and drink that. Get plenty of sleep! I f the art work starts fighting you, don't fight, just quit for a while. If your angry don't force yourself to practice art. It must flow. If something else is on your mind, do that. Come back later or a day latter. Don't force it, or the anger will show in the artwork. Hope this helps.

and what if i'm being always overwhelmed and getting overwhelmed instantly before i can even do at least something? i gave up on everything, because i couldn't bear the discomfort, pressure and pain that was appearing in me every time i tried to draw/learn at least something. I'm suffering in agony from not being able to be an artist, suffering because i don't have a strength to draw and learn, suffering from the fact that i'm not good and never will be, suffering from the fact that i don't have a creativity mind as artists do, and the most importantly - suffering from inability to enjoy the process isntead of only the result. I can't do anything about it, there's no pill that will gift me a passion, there's no pill that will give me a strength, there's no pill that will turn my brain into a creativity madman who can create whatever i want and do the craziests things imaginable for a human brain. I'm a passionless mediocrity, a hollow and weak human being.

Our reality is created based on the boundaries and beliefs our brain has decided about ourselves and our surroundings. What made you decide that you will NEVER be good enough? What even is “good enough?” Who made these standards? What if being good enough was just trying? Perhaps you feel passionless and discouraged because you are harshly criticizing yourself every time you pick up a pencil. You are creating an unpleasant reality, where simply trying is automatically a disappointment. What if, instead of creating a masterpiece, your purpose was just to create? Let me tell you, no one is born with skill. The secret to success is time. Try again and again. The only difference between you, a beginner, and a master is that the master has failed more than the beginner has even tried. I know 100% that if you keep trying, you will improve. Because the main difference between the master and the beginner is simply time. I think your problem is that you are comparing your day 1 as a beginner to someone else’s day 100. Every artist, and I repeat EVERY ARTIST started at the same spot: the beginning. I hope you are doing well and wish you luck and determination on your art journey.

@@adarfrida there's no need to tell me the same pink-glasses nonsense i've heard for my entire life for hundreds of times already everyone is different and not everyone can reach the same level no matter how hard they try and i'm unfortunately was born very self-aware, i don't think about myself less than what i see, i'm not comparing myself to others, i don't care how other people is drawing, i care about my own skills and my learning disability i'm suffering from my whole life

[@vikartstuf]

took me two minutes to realize you were using a pen, like what o_o as always, your confidence is unmatched ✨ great advice btw u.u

[@adarfrida]

Lol thanks 😊

[@ChrisEbbrsen]

Yes, and you will have to make thousands of drawings and loose thousands of drawings before you suffer as true artists do. Your experiences may be different than mine. You may become a better artist latter in life than your classmates. That is what happened to me. I am still an undiscovered artist. I may never amount to anything. That is what I have to accept. The main thing is that you like what you are drawing or painting otherwise why do it! You are not a camera, your creation is man made or lady made, and is imperfect. I aim for perfection knowing I will fall fall short of it.

[@adarfrida]

For sure! As long as you are making art for yourself and enjoying the process, then that’s all that matters. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment Chris!

[@adarfrida]

@@idraw4god Hello Richard! Thank you for taking the time to comment, I appreciate your support. :) I drew this drawing for several hours a day over the course of 3-4 days. Welcome to the family! ❤

[@idraw4god]

@ thank you 🙏

[@ChrisEbbrsen]

Sorry, i thought you were Kirsty? I appologize to have been presumtious. Sorry Adar,! Nice to make your aquaintance. Yep! That drawings gotta judge me or Im not gettin it! Thats my zen! I have to have been drawing for months in order to attain zen. Thats when my drawing might start speaking to me. Not always. It becomes a God or I become God, in my own world or universe. Im not saying I am God, because that would be blaspheme, only that I pretend to be God in my own little universe, as I draw or paint. No! I am not God.

[@adarfrida]

I get what you mean! The beauty of creating is that you get to bring something new into the world that wasn’t there before. :)
