Art from me is going to take a while.

General
If you are interested in seeing more of my art, I have some of my old stuff posted to my art tumblr. Although it feels great to finally be in a good enough place mentally to acknowledge the work of others again, I'm still struggling to grow as an artist. For a long time, there wasn't any room in my life for art. I'm very out of practice and am no longer happy with my old style. Art usually isn't fun for me anymore because I can never accomplish what I was going for...when I know what I'm going for, that is. I feel very "weak" in the creative parts of my brain. I am going to keep trying until I develop a style that I am proud of and comfortable with. I am going to keep reminding myself that this is a gradual process. It's hard because I often feel bad for even trying. It's hard for me not to see my artistic pursuits as nothing more than a huge waste of time. Anyways, I've been coloring mandalas to build up motor skills and my ability to focus. Right now, I can only draw for 10-20 minutes at a time. I am in the process of switching to an antipsychotic with less side effects... That should make me feel less hindered as well. I'd like to thank all of my friends who decided to watch me on this site even though I suck, haha. Thanks for the asspats, you guys. Being on this site already has me inspired to at least figure out how I want to draw my fursona and put together a reference sheet of him. Maybe some day I can take a few non-credit art classes at a community college. That might make me feel better. For now, I want to focus on adding more horror/macabre features to my work and add more depth to it by studying perspective/different angles, facial structure, and various techniques with ink.
