  • Mood: Hungry
  • Listening to: In the Shadows - Rasmus
  • Reading: My stupid writing.
  • Eating: Food's good....
  • Drinking: Water
Man... You know I thought I would get back into my swing of drawing but I still haven't... I think honestly I just wish that I was more comfortable with posting my art somewhere again.... I really don't like posting it here. I mean I feel like I'm not gaining anything from posting it here. And I know for certain that I wouldn't be getting much more from posting it on my site, but I guess what I'm really saying is I want some place where I'm excited to post my work again. DA used to be like that for me. I used to be proud to show off a finished or unfinished piece, it doesn't feel like that anymore.


It's sad really... >___<

I guess it would be more exciting with more friends you know will stop and look at it. Do you think that would change your feeling about it at all?

Actually, posting art online can be intimidating in general at times. :hmm:

I think I'm at a low point in art life too. A different kind, but I hope we both get out of our ditches and walk onward.

Hmm, I dunno if that would change how I feel about posting here honestly. I mean even the friends I do have here don't seem to care when I post something. There is the exception to everything but in this case it's so few.

I hope we can both get out of our art funks. It's not fun if you can't draw something when you want to. And I know it's been 2 years since I was really proud of something that I've drawn.
:hug: :cuddle:

Ugh, that miserable feeling. I get that all the time. You know, I've been trying to get people to notice me to no avail. Then again, I don't have that many friends and must depend on luck that people stumble across my work. >.> I live a sad existence. ^^;

I haven't drawn anything ever since I got stuck in the boonies. I guess I lost my inspiration, motivation or something. Funny, I thought nature's supposed to give you a boost of inspiration...Whoever said that is a liar. Bwar...

It's not fun feeling like you can't draw things the way you want to. Your own feelings about your art probably also effect how you feel about sharing it with people.

We must get out of our funks one way or another! :shakefist:

Yeah it's been like this for a long time for me. 2 years to be exact, I mean I've drawn stuff as you can see, but not anything that I feel really good about. And also yes having some place of your own where you can post your work would be helpful. XP I think I might rely more on my website for that.

:hug: At least you've got me. If that's any consolation...? xD

NATURE IS A LIE! *kills it*

No it's not really at all. TwT I don't hate my art, I sometimes wish I could do something better though, but I'm not bitter about what I can do. It's just a lot of the time I don't feel like sharing anything on these art sites because it seems like no one cares anymore. It was different when I first joined there was so much positive feedback I guess it helped me to thrive and now there's nothing. ^^;

I think we can get out of these funks as long as we believe in ourselves. *nod*

It doesn't exactly help that DA has changed so they make you pay to point out to your friends that you'd like a serious critique. :hmm: I'm trying to think if there's a site out there you could try that maybe you've never heard of before. :confused: I might. Let me check if I have a link...

I don't know about you, but I've gotten into this mode where I can't get myself to draw because I feel sort of like... "What's the use? It won't turn out that great any way." Pessimistic. Ugh. :doh:

Hmm I can't really think of a site anywhere that I haven't heard of for posting art work on. However like I said I'm probably just going to resort back to posting my stuff on my site. I updated the layout of it, so it's something new! xD And I kinda deleted my guestbook in the process, woop! ^^;

I can sometimes feel pretty pessimistic too. It's hard sometimes. I know how you feel I do. :hug: We can get over this hump though!

2 years? Whoa...Have you tried drawing something that you really really REALLY like? To be honest, I'm not too sure if it works, but I'm trying it right now! >.<

I had a site of my own, but it was a pain managing it on my own. I mean, I'm no webmnaster with mad skillz...And no people to visit it. >.<

Yeah, I've got you, and I'm really happy you stuck with me, with or without new postings. :hug:

Yeah, Nature is a big lie! Yay for concrete jungles!
