i’ve got a bump in the road to overcome with my drawing.

i’m having trouble with accepting my own style. it’s not that i think i draw horribly. i’m slow and i definitely need a lot of work before i can feel any kind of confidence in it whatsoever, but i don’t think i suck.

what i do think is that my style, the way the lines i put down on the page look, sucks. i’m happy with my ‘voice’ in my digital stuff, my other tactile art and with my writing (most of the time). my drawing voice is another story entirely.

i think the only solution for this is to simply sit down and work on it every day. i’m used to being a graphic designer and molding myself to different design styles as each project requires. i hope to someday be able to do that with my writing, to draw realistically for one piece and comic-book style for another.

at this point though, i’d be happy just to be able to draw with any kind of ease in a style that looks somewhat decent.

okay, that’s it for the navel gazing for today. move along.
