Hello ! Tysm !

 

[Jamila]

Welcome!
I really like your introduction.

I do draw but I am working on changing how I think about drawing. It is a long story and not appropriate here but I grew up thinking that art and drawing were only good if one could draw like Duher! So I don't have a lot of confidence.

I see, I don't feel rlly confident in my art rlly but I keep going <3

@Suzette In a way, this is why I think perhaps not studying art in college and uni was a blessing in disguise. Art lessons relied heavily on copying from the world around you. Portraits and still life was the majority of what we did. I was forever frustrated by my lack of ability to draw in proportion, or do shadowing, light sources and foreshortening correctly.

Whereas I thrive from drawing just using my imagination. Whilst I might have grandiose images in my mind that are much more detailed and refined than what I end up creating - I still enjoy it a lot more than attempting to copy the world around me, and fail miserably in the process.

My proportions have been getting better lately so I have been doing rlly good but I absolutely hate foreshadowing but I am too elevated to practice it lol

Hi and welcome, hope you will post some drawings when you work out how! I like to draw but I don't have any great skill at it. I also like to do collage. I have met some lovely people from Eastern Europe, Poland and Croatia specifically. I hope that you enjoy it here and find it useful and supportive.

Tysm, don't worry, you don't have to be good, it is still a beautiful piece of artwork

I have met LOTS of ppl from Eastern Europe like Serbia, Russia, Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic ( I think ), Ukrainian SSR, and alot more

I am eastern European but I come from a part that is not rlly heard of, East Prussia

It was invaded by the USSR and its in both Lithuania and Russia today but its a Germanic group, not Slavic

There an artist hiding inside me that is thwarted by a total lack of drawing talent .

Like someone said to Gary Larson when he was trying to get The Far Side published "You're sick". Meant in a positive way in both cases .
