Thanks! I do it by drawing nearly every day for 6 years 
and always pushing… I think if art ever becomes easy it’s a bad sign lol

Great art! 
I never do art for others, because I worry our visions will clash and I’ll let them down.

Yeah I feel with my writing I need to be constantly challenged. I always wanted to be known for my effort>talent. If I ever make it successful with it.

@Pikasaur Thank you! I didn’t for others much, right up until it became my job… I think if someone already likes your work they won’t mind it having your own spin, your vision And unless it IS paid work people are usually just happy to have a gift as personalised as art… it’s a kind of social anxiety in a way though, I can distance myself like that from drawing but not, say, poetry, for some reason. Oh well. I like your paintings!
@Jonnybegood That’s a good attitude! Talent can only get you so far, and I think anyone can go further with effort than a talented person who doesn’t work at it at all.

Thank you! I’ve been thinking of sharing some art I did a long time ago, back when I had a drawing tablet.
I really want one again, because the one I have doesn’t comply with newer computers and their screen resolutions. I could make such cool things when I had one, and I would draw images on paper, add them to my computer, and then edit them with the pad.
Christmas is many months away, but I won’t be able to save up for one before then, so maybe if I tell my parents I want one for christmas, they’ll give me that instead of money?
Do it! Can even post it to this thread if you like, keep the art train rolling as it were. For tablets I’ve heard good things about Wacom and Huion… I have a wacom though. That was my same art process for a long time before switching to just digital.
Did you use a screen-type tablet or the one without a monitor? You can get the latter fairly cheap but the hand-eye-screen coordination is hard to adjust to…
Couldn’t hurt to ask, right?
I had a Wacom Bamboo, I think the name was.
It came with a pen. It took a while to get used to the coordination, but after a while it started to feel natural.
I’ll go digging through my old Deviantart and see if I find something that doesn’t make me cringe
Oh I had the same one really early on! Switched to a Cintiq eventually… a long time saving up… but in between I lost the bamboo and used to draw with a mouse instead, circa 2015:
Deviantart sounds promising

Oh wow the last one really jumps right at you. 2nd one is my favourite, really emotive body language!

Thanks! I made it when I was not feeling well and couldn’t put words to what I was feeling.
I guess despair was the closest I got to a word that fit, but I felt the image showed it better.
Nr. 3 is kind of how I imagine one of my voices would look. It gives me the same melancholic vibe as her.

Good old fashioned vent art… sometimes visuals are the only way to communicate something. Do you find art helps with those feelings? I’ve been known to ward off a paranoid breakdown by drawing really aggressively.
The tentacled creature is a nice touch :^P
Random pick from art folder because MOAR ART, this is from half a year ago… I tried to draw this guy being embraced, swarmed, and haunted at the same time.

He looks confused, haunted, like he’s resigning to what’s happening because he feels he has no control over it.
I like it!
I have never been able to ward off a breakdown by drawing, but I’ve been able to alleviate the pain.

That’s exactly what I intended yaaay
Better than nothin, art can be healing… side note, I’m working on a 3D project, a video game map, I wonder if it counts as art?
Little church:
Plan view (the circles are collectible spawners)
Oh that’s beautiful!
3D art is as much art as any other art.
