oooh, first journal entry. nice.

well, this isn't gonna be all that interesting so i'm warning you now, go back to your internet-surfing life and do not read on!!

erm. anyway. art, i've realized lately, is so very difficult. being able to draw or express your imagination/thoughts is only half the battle. the other half is actually having the perseverance to finish the drawing, because currently i have about 300 pieces that are UNfinished and probably never will be finished, half-good as they are. the ones that actually do get finished end up being not up to par since they are the product of 1 hour of inspiration-fueled genius, and 10 hours of torturing oh-em-gee-i-MUST-finish-this-piece-of-art-if-it's-the-last-thing-i *dies*

needless to say, i thoroughly admire artists who are able to finish their pieces of art and make them look a kabillion times as good as my art will ever be. kudos to those amazing talented people. and grrrr to them too.

currently, i am stuck working on a 20" x 40" traditional chinese watercolour painting for my aunt. i must meticulously copy, line for line, the tiny thumbnail of a reference she has given me and make it huge enough to hang on her wall T_T it's been three days of pre-sketching and i'm going crazy here with the tree branches.

HOW DO YOU PEOPLE DO IT???? how do you just...FINISH something?? it's like...the hardest thing in the world for me! @______________@

I share your sentiments. It's SO MUCH WORK finishing a piece. And then you are always tweaking it and never sure when or if it is finished, and you keep adjusting and adding and tweaking until you give up and sign your name and declare it done. ><

I just don't draw, lol! Easy enough for me, but don't you pick up my bad habits! Actually...I don't think it counts since I can't draw anyways, lol!

Oh god I know what you mean! It's like you have these brief but very intense crushes on your paintings, but once the passion's gone it becomes forced and uninteresting. Or at least that's how I feel at times:)

wow that must be so hard, but u are so talented! its really amazing. lol guess im stilll blown away by ur artistic skills, in a way i sorta envy u, wish i cud draw at least half as good as u! =p

I dunno how others do it either though but I guess they are probably passionate about it or really thorough about completing what they started. I believe you can do it though!

The record shows that you're dead but you're still living.
Every time you have died you have been given.
Another chance to fix your bad attitude.
And make a move, it's up to you.
It's up to you if we give it up,
Give it up.
