I can en...Gosh, this is yet another great drawing. I can entirely relate to the doubts, and the possible stagnation, and the pressure sometimes. Just wrote you an obscenely long e-mail about it. <br />About refreshing things a bit. Many times have i thought about giving each other ideas. For instance, if you wrote on my blog one day "hey France, i was wondering what your take would be on drawing a guitar case" -- i think it would relieve me with the worry of even FINDING something to write. And my response could come 3 months later -- but i think i would be super motivated to do it. I don't know if you would feel comfortable sharing challenges. And i don't even know if i am adding pressure by even writing this. So, in case i do, and in case you think you might get a kick out of it, i have a couple of things that i would like you to draw! No, seriously, i have been wondering. <br />But this is already way too long. <br />Cheerios, Andrea, your art rocks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34905653.post-75364642299369611762007-01-25T00:59:00.000+00:002007-01-25T00:59:00.000+00:00oh I can totaly relate - blogs can be very demandi...oh I can totaly relate - blogs can be very demanding...haha!<br />this is a great drawing!<br />just be who you are and keep doing the amazind drawings you do....Anastasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12998009178493796361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34905653.post-49622988383615234202007-01-25T00:36:00.000+00:002007-01-25T00:36:00.000+00:00Wow thanks everyone for your comments and such kin...Wow thanks everyone for your comments and such kind words. I have had such an amazing response to this post here and on the EDM forum. I feel quite overwhelmed! It seems that I am not the only one to have been struggling with this issue.<br /><br />I am certainly my own worse critic - that's for sure! As for my next step I really want to get my children's book out to publishers but I keep on talking about it yet avoiding doing it!<br /><br />Nina - I think this is really good advice. I think a change of medium or subject matter may just refresh my creativity.<br /><br />Cheers guys.

And about feeling pressure - just draw for your own pleasure, post if you like, don´t post if you don´t feel like it. And allow yourself to make loads of mistakes and un-perfect drawings. If I feel stuck in a rut I go for totally different media OR subjects. It usually helps me getting rid of the "drawing anxiety". I´ll be back to check your blog whether you keep posting often of not, I enjoy your work immensely.Nina Johanssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11861767400733778212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34905653.post-60550362109065789932007-01-24T18:15:00.000+00:002007-01-24T18:15:00.000+00:00Andrea,

If you want to reduce pressure on yourself, but still draw daily and have fun, why don't you only blog/upload a few of your drawings - not one each day. Then you can choose to upload sketches based on what you've done for fun, but really, really like.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34905653.post-27820770364728731822007-01-24T18:14:00.000+00:002007-01-24T18:14:00.000+00:00I love to look at whatever and whenever you post. ...I love to look at whatever and whenever you post.

But I told myself I would allow myself to make mistakes and tragedies and just keep putting them up. We are our own worst critics yes, but your work is all so brilliant (and I'll keep saying it as long as you keep drawing!) that you should make sure that you enjoy the process -- that's what it's all about isn't it? Need I say that this one is GREAT too!mranahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347841296818869671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34905653.post-66833733426819558602007-01-24T12:20:00.000+00:002007-01-24T12:20:00.000+00:00I'm sorry that you ever felt pressured.

Just <i>do</i> and to heck with "is it worthy?" questions. Just create, and if you feel like sharing, share; if you don't, then you just don't.<br /><br />Your blog = you make the rules.<br />Your art = always appreciated when shared.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01442023056785979903noreply@blogger.com
