No, I always think of I'm good enough and I'm telling myself I can improve myself and I can be better than before everyday and everyday.

This motivate me and make me draw new things.

I advice everyone not to think of negative

I can't draw because I think I suck.

You're scared to draw cause you think you'll hate what it's gonna look like?
Well, thetruthof the matter is that you won't be able to make a masterpiece without LOTS of practice. I used to say "I'll draw that idea when I'm a better artistcause I want to make it look good." But it doesn't really work like that. Have you ever heard the saying by Henry Matisse; 'Creativity takes Courage'? It's true! Becoming an artist is all about daring to go a step further, out of your comfort-zone.

So instead of being scared to draw because you feel you aren't good. Think of what you hope to achieve with your art skills throughout time and you must be prepared to work your ass of to get it! When you draw a picture you don't think is attractive, you can say "Meh, at least I'm practicing" I draw many bad pictures, but I'm just happy improving my skills and unleashing my ideas for now. One day I hope to call myself a 'ro'. But that will take much time, effort and practice. ^_^

Once you start to be more couragous with art, it becomes much more fun aswell. Good luck!

yah- all the time- sometimes i have to distract myself by saying.. oh " hey gina lets see if you can do 20 drawings in an hour."

@ Milandeentjestoe
I know what you mean, my freinds complement me and stuff, but that just kinda puts pressure on me thinking ill have to become this amazing artist to live up to the critismn.

@ Cosmic-cricket
Yeah thats right, i just keep thinking that'll ill hate the result, and that i'll never be able to match up to great artists of tomorow.
Wow, i actually say that too, like when you picture something in your head which you just feel you dont have the talent to draw or paint. That quote is true, it takes a damn alot of courage. I guess im going to have to do this, just start to experiment alot more and let myself go.
Thanks man.
