/ic/ - Artwork/Critique » Thread #2251323

Most importantly, to communicate my ideas onto paper as well as other people's thoughts (working with an art director, etc etc)
But, through this journey I've slowly realized that every drawing I make is a story. Every line I draw not only has context within the 2d plane, but also a three dimensional context. What I mean is the sounds of the environment, the way I'm feeling, the stability of my table all influence the lines I'm putting on paper. Each drawing, no matter how meaningless it seems, has a story. A robot drawn in a coffeshop may look completely different than a robot drawn on a bus. Exploring different media and the way it can communicate its own marks with the flick of the wrist.

I draw because of the experience; a story told through each mark. That is why I draw, OP.

I want to help visualize what other people's thoughts. Often times, it seems those with a great imagination, struggle to express it visually so I want to do that, preferably in exchange for some money.

Also I wanna create a comic that I've been thinking about doing for the last couple of years. Anyone else sometimes have that feeling where there's a story in your head and it's just thrashing about in your thoughts, trying to get out?

When I was a wee lad, I watched a Godzilla movie for the first time and thought, "That's what I want to be when I grow up."

Then it turns out there's a lot of complications with that dream, so I settled for being able to draw monsters and robots and letting the world see the toys that I play with in my head.

I was/am a professional writer for a while (As in, actually get paid, made my living with it for a while) but I realized that what I was doing was really just writing out the images in my head. I'd like to be able to draw them out as well. Probably end up making comics rather than writing.

I used to go over 'reasons' and 'motivations'

I have none

My old prof that I was close to called me unsuited with thought, that I was more of a man of action when I was held up with projects

Only 2 years later I get what he meant.
The reasons that you come up with at the start of a journey weigh in feathers compared to whatever you have to say at the endgame when you look back at the mountain of work you made.

Essentially, just draw.

Drawing cool stuff, man. Oh and I also want to make random comics a few pages long that parodies DC and Marvel. As fan art and with "original characters".

But yeah, draw stuff I find interesting and cool. Nothing artsy. I am not an artist, I am not original and I don't want or strive to be. Drawing/painting cool stuff is enough for me.

I've stopped painting/drawing for real for some months now. I just don't want to.It's like it died.I have no fun drawing. It's sad really.because I felt like it was my meaning.

Before you can practice well, you have to practice terribly. Most people don't practice at all, then stress themselves out when they suddenly try to do it 'well'. How the balls are you supposed to study 'properly' if you aren't even doing it to begin with? You have to have SOMETHING to build off of, something you can look at to see where you're fucking up. Mileage is HUGE with art. Absolutely massive. Think about it. Drawing is 90% seeing. Best way to improve your sight? Drawing what you see. It's that simple. 'Just draw'.

And drawing a mountain of dicks would teach you a ton, but apparently you think it's a waste of time. I think someone's trying to feel better about their lack of mileage by saying 'but I practice PROPERLY'.

I remember being madly in love with some girl at my university. We had this one lecture together. She was sitting way across that large hall and after a while I started drawing her over and over until I could draw her without even looking at her. I just remembered every feature so vividly, even today. Drawing her then felt like I could be closer to her for a short while. It just feels like I can deal with what I feel better when I visualise whatever it is I feel. Sometimes I understand stuff for the first time while explaining them to other people, because in order to explain something, you need to sort your thoughts first, and sometimes you just never really seem to do that. It's kind of like that. I draw something and I somehow know better what it means to me than before. It helps me think about everything.

Because people praise me for it and so I've gotten used to thinking I'm 'good' at it. There's nothing else in life that I'm anything more than average at.
I'm shit, but at least people treat me like I'm worthwhile when they see my paintings. Except for other artists, because the scene is here mostly conceptual, and so it's like comparing apples and oranges or speaking another language. They probably all see me as a hobbyist that wastes away paint.

This. I'm older, busier, and in a much better place in my life now, and so consequently don't draw as much as I would like to anymore. But anytime I feel overwhelmed again it's almost compulsive - still the best way to cope.

Cmon man, it was a serious question.

Don't know why I draw. Mostly do it when I get too fidgety and worrying about not doing it. Makes it sound like an unhealthy habit, but I have peace of mind while doing it at least.

I'm reaching my mid twenties and other than being decent on a guitar (which I don't play anymore) I'm not good at anything. I don't really have a hobby to speak of. So I figured I'd get started on one. Maybe in 5 or 10 years I can make something of it. In the mean time, it's just something productive to keep me occupied.
