The Everything Arts Club (Accepting!)
Forum-Index → Fan Clubs → Inactive Clubs → The Everything Arts Club (Accepting!)I even transferred back to my old style? The only difference is I now know how to work nose diversity, the eyelashes on females aren't super thick, and I found a better chin shape for certain males.
I kindof want to give up? I mean, if you look at an old art piece I made, you see that it looks horrid, y'know.
my new art isn't much different. Same eye shape, just larger, kindof...
and then there's the fact that I just can't get the anatomy right, ever? I tried watching art tutorials and everything.
Idk?? and my mom isn't really helping. I honestly think she expects me to draw the Mona Lisa now that I have an art tablet. Well, I can't. She's urging me on, saying you need to draw landscapes better, and refuses to let me draw anything involving my own style. I do draw with my own style, though, just not when she's not looking.
Honestly? I don't care if I can't draw landscapes perfectly, she has to give me time to be able to do this.
Yeah parents when it comes to art can be real bummers. My own parents have never been super into my art and I'm really scared to show them it out of fear of being criticized, because that's just what they do.
I showed my dad a drawing I did a while ago & he was like "Oh. You drew this? Was it something that already existed or did you come up with it yourself?"
And I told him yeah it already existed, 'cause it was a Flight Rising dragon I drew, and after I said that he just didn't seem interested in it at all. He wants me to draw stuff that just comes from my mind, and not draw things that already exist like characters.
It really kind of turns me away from sharing my art in real life in general, so I know how tough it is to share with family and such.
One time my dad couldn't even tell my art apart from my sister's art, and trust me, there's a big difference.
It really made me feel.. " : / /// //// "
Don't stress over it. I stress sometimes too and feel bad about my art, but the more you do it, the better you will get! Even if it takes a few years(and it probably will).
Also your mom, like most parents probably want realistic work. Is that what you're going for?
It's been about five years since I really started dedicated myself to art, so I guess that could be a reason why my mother is pushing me so hard.
honestly my mom used to be like that too, but i made it a point that that was not whta i wanted to do.
If you know whta you want ro do, dont give up! dont let others change your mind!

I'm really sorry to hear that, but I personally believe that your mother just wants to help you have more motivation?
Sure, she might be doing it wrong, however I personally believe that she has good intentions for you.
However please don't be too stressed because of that, just take it slowly. I know listening to your parents is a good thing, but when it comes down to something like this, if she actually forces you to draw without using your own style, tell her about style differences. Have a discussion, and if she still doesn't listen, then don't let her force you.
I believe your mother just wants you to improve upon landscapes as she believes it's something you need improvement on, and I believe also that she's urging you too quickly because she doesn't understand the time it takes.
Don't see art as work, I mean it is work-but view it more as a fun work, if that makes any sense xD
Have fun with it.
I know having your mother pressuring you takes the fun out of art, but take your mothers words more like advice and try to use it as a bit of motivation in any kind of way, instead of taking her words as orders that must be followed.
Edgy is totally right!~ <3
