Drawing for others means a lot more than drawing for myself. I tend to get those drawings done quicker with less self-criticism. And they don’t suck!
When I draw for myself, to learn new techniques and to challenge myself, I can only see passable at best.

Perhaps that is why the failures stand out the most in this image. I want to apologize, or better yet, just not share at all. The sense of failure is amplified because none of the schools of art that I’ve reached out to could be bothered to even reply to my inquiry. If they can’t even reply, it must be because I’m as terrible as I feel. Right?

And maybe I am, but I’m not giving up. Because when I began this journey, I was crap at this. Now, flaws and all, I’m one step closer to being pretty kickass!
