This blog keeps me drawing and illustrating my innocent self-indulgences, while talking about myself, art, and making people laugh.

disappointed in drawings | June 27, 2008

I am disappointed in myself because I am not drawing as much as I should be. I see my quick sketching skills going dormant and it is seriously embarrassing to look through my moleskin sketchbook. My line quality has diminished into rough chicken scratches that scream “LACK OF CONFIDENCE”.

I was so fortunate that my entire education was focused on building and growing my skills in art. I shouldn’t let it waste away. The only remedy is drawing constantly and always creating new artwork, so I finished a new quick illustration recently. I have to get back on track!

    This is gorgeous!! If I had THAT lack of confidence I’d be a little happier : ) . I suppose it’s true at any level we’re at though when we know what we’re capable of and we’re not meeting that potential it can be disappointing to ourselves. Good luck getting back on track soon - you will!

    I have to agree. You have a colorful, vivid, fluid but not foofy approach. I always like your stuff.
