Ever had this "need-style-now" moment?

Sun Jul 12, 2009, 3:31 PM
Bwaah... Okay I'll try to make this as little pointless as I can.

Most of DA artists (hell... everyone, I think) have their specific style, right. One person draws in manga style, that one draws wolves, that one cartoon-like characters, another one is a horse artist, then that one draws dragons or bigger heads or claw-like nails or whatever reason you can think of that separates them from the other artists (besides level, so to speak). Then there's me. One time I draw anime, then I try this cartoon-thing, I even try drawing animals, suck at it, get back to humans, try drawing chibis, a zillion different styles and I'm still at square one.

Know what I mean?

THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING.

Seriously, I've been trying to find a basic style I'd use for my drawings all the time. Variety is a good thing, I don't deny that, it's just that don't-want-to-always-start-from-scratch thing. Maybe I'm saying nonsense, dunno, it's past 1 AM, blame the... -sighs- me. Sitting here with a paper and pencil staring at pics and desperately trying to draw something, ANY-FREAKING-THING, that isn't from someone else's head. :iconlorderik: sent me this sketch of a dragonness not so long ago and I adore the style of it, so I thought I could try it. I JUST FREAKING CAN'T. I suck. Maybe it's my deeply rooted determination not to ever, EVER draw using a reference (I mean, constantly looking at a reference - unless it's realism, I couldn't do that without a reference if the whole world depended on it (like most things)) but I don't want to be a copycat, I want to draw by myself. The thing is I just CAN'T. C. A. N. T. I wonder if this is ever going to improve.

-sighs-

Ummm... yeah. Cookies for you if you actually managed to suffer through the whole rant. I don't know what I should do. I don't want to draw if I'm not good at it, to get good at it I have to practice, and to practice I have to have a freaking style. I have to know where to begin. -sighs again-

-gives you all my cookies- I don't like 'em anyway.

Meh, that happens to me too. Especially when I'm drawing eyes, they all turn out so different it's like wtf make up your mind.
