Discussion: Art skill development

[mekare]

Since we are in between challenges atm, I’d be interested in what you are all working on. Do you have a specific skill you are trying to learn? A technique or new medium? A subject matter you haven’t portrayed a lot? Is making time for your art a challenge right now?

What are your personal challenges right now or your successes?

I've just got an art tablet so I've been grappling (mostly unsuccessfully) with that. As ever, my art skills are quite lacking, I always feel, especially compared to others around me who seem to be so talented. Though I'm aware they got there through practice, practice, practice. And so I know it's a case of keep on working on it. But as always time is an issue and I have two fic fest deadlines looming and have barely worked on either.

And then there's the other issue of wanting to be good and knowing if you draw it won't be, so you don't draw because of that. And that's a big spiral in and of itself. 🤷
