how do people have confidence drawing people??? i always take forever on my drawings cause i’m so worried about not getting them “right enough”
Tumblr media
#cause you're always looking at people right??? so it's much easier to spot mistakes like 'hey that doesn't look right'#which is pretty much the reason i almost exclusively drew anthros for years#and now i'm really trying to get better at drawing realistic people and it's so fucking hard oh my god??? what the fuck are proportions#coloring is even harder#i'll have a fuckload of refs but i'll still be like ????? why#also i really want to get better at working without refs eventually#and while we're on the subject of my realization that i'm not actually as good at drawing as i hoped#WOW I REALLY NEED TO RELEARN HOW TO DRAW ANIMALS#and i need to get over my anxiety relating to relying on refs?? like chill the fuck out adam how the fuck do you think good art happened#i know using refs is a good thing and totally legit and all but i'm still anxious about it?? i think it's got to do with the difference in#quality between my ref'd and non-ref'd drawings tbh#like i can do pretty decent work with refs but compared to that my less ref'd work is really lacking#i'm really rambling here and i need to go to sleep bc early shift tomorrow#i've just been thinking about my lack of confidence in art lately bc i've been struggling to finish my cas drawing#and i haven't even finished many drawings this year?? other than sketching i've hardly done much#and i see so many artists pour out a ton of awesome drawings in similar or better quality than my One Drawing I've Taken Ages Working On#and i'm legit so confused how they manage it but at the same time i'm spending way less time on my art than i probably could be doing#in conclusion i need better time management lol#and more motivation tbh
