is it weird to say i sometimes feel like im making art *too* quickly and *too* often? like. i see fellow artists or friends complain about how long its taking them, how often they get artblock, how they dont have time to draw. like it feels *strange* to pump out multiple finished pieces a week like its nothing, and then open discord and i see my friend fighting tooth and nail with a singular (albeit very impressive and detailed) piece for weeks on end. yknow, stuff like fully rendered metals, fabrics, animals, faces. all in one thing. idk. sometimes feels like my art is *too* simple and *too* easy to make

#chess shh #its a weird feeling i dont know how to describe #because im always very very enthusiastic about drawing. but even when i was in art SCHOOL i was deemed the odd one out for always drawing #my friends are all surprised at how i finish sketchbooks in 3 months tops while they cant finish even one for years #i guess when i love a thing i do it all the time until i physically cant do it anymore. and. art happened to be one of them #but i dont want to liken it to a special interest (even if it probably is based on. everything about me and my room and my possessions)#it doesnt feel like its an interest. it feels like it IS me.#like. the grass is green. the sky is blue. and i am an art. i am art because i create art and then the art i create helps creating me #its just always been this way. and for SOME stupid reason i feel like a little cunty freak for always making art so much. always drawing.#i literally physically itch to draw. my hands get twitchy and jittery if i get an idea and for some reason cant draw it in that exact momen #anyways. imposter syndrome i guess. idk.
