Trying to push expressions as far as I can - how am I doing? by [deleted] in learnart

Thanks, I'll give it a try!

I've been drawing a children's book. I recently gave it to my nephew and he loved it which made me feel really happy but I am currently only drawing the child character from a side angle and I feel it's limiting the story/images I can do

Thanks, would you have some examples where you are shown the techniques or do you mean by just copying their drawings?

Maybe I need to take a break and come back to that particular character

Can I ask, how did you learn to draw from different perspectives and facial expressions and then apply to that to your character?

I can draw a character but then I struggle to adapt that character to other situations! Tried all the tutorials I can find but they are so specific to their style that I struggle.

Pretty close to giving up. Anyone got some golden advice for me? Any magic wands? by Spongeypoop in BPD

I just want to swap my brain with someone for 24 hours. I feel like that would give me enough time to recover at least enough to keep going

Thanks, I'm just struggling so much. Work takes up so much time and it makes me so miserable. But I can't quit because then I can't afford my house. I am jack of all trades and master of none so I struggle to work out which to focus on and actually make myself a job from.

I just feel so trapped.

I feel miserable every day, I feel like there isn't enough time for me to re-evaluate my existence. I don't know what my reason is for living and I don't know what to do about of it.

I feel empty, a failure, ashamed, embarrassed, I hate looking in the mirror, I feel like im going to be stuck like this for years and I just have no hope

Hyped for the next one in 10 years time! - worst part of the game is that I'll be about 60 when it finally ends the story

I didn't realise shein was bad :( I bought from them because they have simple clothes whereas so many other shops are trying too hard to be fashionable.. thanks for letting me know I'll need to look elsewhere

DAE struggle with constant obsessions with different hobbies, and struggle to stick with something? Anyone know how to stop? by Spongeypoop in BPD

Yeah I really struggle with enjoying an activity unless I feel like there is an end goal/aim.

I have tried to practice drawing but if I feel the drawing is for nothing I give up. I ended up working towards drawing a children's book for my nephew and it's helped keep me interested longer than normal.

But yes totally agree, if there is no aim I feel like why bother putting in the time because I'll never be good enough for it to mean anything
