What Destroys the Joy of Drawing & Ways to Fix It SchaeferArt
video description
I'm 17 and can't decide what I want to pick for post secondary. The plan so far is to take a gap year and let myself figure it out. I started drawing during the pandemic. Never really liked art classes so I never took them. I love to draw--I love writing and being able to draw the people and images I write would be great. Animating them (despite having no experience) and having my own show would be greater. I have big plans and it's hard to snap back into reality. Though, one thing I'm scared of is being too old or not having enough time to do everything I want. Have you ever had these thoughts? How do you cope with them? A lot of my dreams are financially unattainable--I guess, how do you ground yourself? Sorry if this is too heavy. Cheers.

I know what you mean. I had to shift toward enjoying the experience without, as you mentioned, too, putting expectations onto the outcome. I've also found though, that the disappointments are useful pointers for me to keep reaching. If I'm disappointed with the lack of expressive mark making, for example, I'll make it a point to focus that. It's a challenge to balance having goals and aspirations with enjoying the experience, but it can be done. Thanks for the video: )

I get frustrated when my drawing doesnt turn out the way I expect, mostly with fanarts. I know that perfection isn't achieved at a first try; it is well known to me but somewhere I don't want to accept and want a perfect outcome. Also wanting acclamation from others for my work is just another reason that destroys my peace of mind. I am trying to overcome them all, step by step.

Nice ideas thanks and well done on getting through that barrier and passing on your advice. I've drawn 'bout twice in over 20 years despite drawing a lot as a kid. I was pleased with the results but the process was a bit excruiciating. I think your idea of approaching it like a child is a good one and that's where my mind has been attempting to go too.

That's great advice, I often set my expectations way above my ability, so I can associate personally with what you are saying. I can only bridge the gap by doing more drawing. and break out of the cycle. but enjoy the process. thanks for this.

The comparing part is the hard part, If I see a good drawing thinking, oh I can do that and then I try and do it and its 100x lesser in quality. then loop

My vertical arc that I draw on the left side are very different than those on the right. All common shapes, or mirror shapes, turn out that way.
