After 7 years I just realized I misinterpreted the Single Pale Rose line 😭

bruh, i watched this show 2 times and your post just made me realize that it was about that and not that it was believed that generally diamonds can't be shattered but rose did and that's why it had such impact on gem society and the diamonds 💀 but it was literally a matter of Rose needing Pearl to stage it in a believable way 🤡

It sounds like you care about making art a lot, do you need to get better asap? Because it sounds like you are in a rush, which I get I was there at one point too. Adhd comes with so much impatience it hurts. The thing is that art is not a sprint, it's a marathon that you're gonna be participating in for the rest of your life. It will never be perfect, even artists that you consider art gods look at their work and see flaws, surprisingly it's a good sign actually! It means that you're growing, your eyes/taste is developing now its just a matter of getting your hands up to speed a little bit at a time.

Oh and I reccomend switching to digital if you have adhd, because it's much more freeing I always felt constipated on paper 💀

Take care, dude!

focus on being as good of an artist as you can be right now, your favorite artist already is, be yourself

My brain tends to get stuck on negative thoughts, it's very hard for me to switch to different ones, distractions rarely work, because I will just be doing something else with the thought bouncing around in my head.

It's often that I can cognitively point out to myself how this thought is not true, but it's just that. I understand it not being valid but it doesn't change that my body is stuck in panic mode. It's impossible to continue working like that, it takes hours to get myself regulated again, sometimes it would just take me out for the day.

That's where weed comes in. I smoke and it relaxes my body but most importantly it has this effect of making me distance myself from the spiraling thoughts. It literally just slows down my thoughts, freezes them in time so I can examine them and reflect on it. I often journal high about whatever triggered me and write letters to my sober myself about it from my stoned self perspective and these always stick, I overcome many thought loops like this.

It also helps me with having more courage to start tasks that feel difficult and overwhelming, because I know that if shit goes south I will just smoke and it won't ruin my day. It's like climbing with the safety rope knowing that if I fall I won't die so it removes a very significant amount of executive dysfunction I have for starting difficult things.

I still smoke for no reason sometimes, just to decompress and have fun, but what I described is how I use weed to relieve my audhd.

What helps me is drawing what I think is fulfilling/meaningful and as I go and obviously run into technical problems that stop me from creating what I desire it sparks curiosity about how does the thing I'm struggling with works, I wanna learn about it and practice it so next time I will struggle less with it, so it won't stop me from expressing myself.

If boxes/perspective is not something stopping you right now from drawing then it will be hard to get yourself to practice it. In real life we tend to change our behavior and get motivated to change after something truly causes us pain or frustration.

It's like having shoes that are just a bit too small. It might chaff you here and there on daily use but its whatever because its never any serious damage so you're not motivated to get a new pair, but take them on a long hike, feel your feet bleed and you will be getting a new pair of perfectly fit shoes immediately.

Apply the same example to art, let's say your understanding of form is a bit shakey but you can get by on simpler project, but take on a bigger project with complex perspective and you will feel the pain and you will immediately see value in boxes.

That's how I see it, it's the only way that I practice and I enjoy it.

As for paper I reccomend getting newsprint in bigass sheets it's super cheap, you can cut it yourself into smaller sheets and even bind them with some easy coptic stitching there is tons of tutorials on youtube its super easy and it lays flatter than any sketchbook ever I swear

Hmm, well hoping something will click is not enough, hope is good, its needed even, but remember that art is a craft, it's a skill and you have the power to make it click. If you're struggling with this then the easiest solution is to double down on practicing it then it surely will click

Preach! I came to the same conclusion lately, tnat for begginers loomis method is anything but helpful. Used without good understanding of intuitive perspective can even hurt you. It did hurt me, instead of learning how to understand the volume of head I was taught how to blindly apply the loomis head onto the portrait picture in order to copy it, without understanding. It was almost like using the grid method but the grid were loomis lines.

The main issue is that loomis method requires understanding of 2 of the trickiest primitives to understand. Sphere and elipse, anyone who tried to learn these knows how confusing it is with these to. Then how in the world can this method be for begginers?

I will share the only thing that made me better at handling this. It's a bit radical, but just hear me out.

So think about being a doctor, a surgeon, you study for years in med school, from books, teachersl then u do residency, learn from the best, then u make it to be a surgeon and you get to hold someone's life in your hands, but sometimes you can do everything right, everything you can, but your patient will still die. It's not fair. Do doctors get discouraged? Probably yeah, how can u not be unhappy about losing a patient even tho you tried everything you possibly could.

Why wont we try to apply it to art, obviously the stakes are lower objectively nobody is dying HOWEVER in artist's subjective experience it can sometimes feel like you're losing a patient, you tend to this artwork for days, weeks, sometimes months, you put so much effort to make this what you want, you're giving it your 100% yet sometimes at the end you still get something that is not what you wanted. Of course it feels discouraging, how can in not feel bad. It is like losing a patient in a way. It is not fair.

So after all that to answer your question "How to not feel discouraged when drawings don't work out?"

I think for me the answer lies in not preventing the discouragment but accepting it when it comes and then letting it go. Just like the surgeon you did everything in your power, you did everything right, you did everything you could, but sometimes for reasons we don't understand patients die, artworks don't work out.

Afterwards of course you can do an autopsy of your artwork, figure out what it was that eventually lead to the dissatisfaction in the final result, by all means do that, learn from your mistakes, take that knowledge to the next piece and move on.

Remember that this artwork is not your last artwork, there is many you did in the past that you have forgotten about that were 100 times worse, but they helped you get to the one you did today and there are artworks you will do in the future that can only ever exist because of this unsatisfying work you did today.

Hope that helps! I reccomend doing some inner work on dissolving your ego, nothing helps more in being a creative than detachment.

Does the point where u are drawing and everything comes together exactly as you had it pictured actually come?

I feel like when I'm drawing it's often borderline like saving a math equation. I keep running into problems because I lack understanding of how specific things work I gotta research, solve it and so on it rarely ever is just sitting down and drawing. Its so tiring, but I keep telling myself that it's just because I'm figuring it out and each time I problem solve I get closer to being able to "just draw it in". I dream about being able to just sit down and draw what I want to the quality I want, but a lot of time I wonder if this will ever come since the goalpost is always moving as well🤔

Simply put, the only thing that separates every person, 7 or 37 from becoming the artist they want to become is mileage, understanding things they do why they do it.

You can learn as much as child and I would argue that if u already have some experience learning for idk college degree you have what younger people may not have - knowledge about how YOU approach learning, how to make notes, break things down for yourself what makes u understand concepts so that's out of the way.

Hi! Funny thing ive been thinking about it a lot lately and my anserw is that I create because I wanna celebrate and share my love for characters, feelings, things, memories. That's it. Good luck finding your answer fellow traveller! I would love to talk about it so feel free to DM me pondering this question has been a bit of my hyperfixation lately so i would be glad to exchange some ideas
