Ich finde das einen sehr künstlerischen Wutanfall... :-)

...hat ja blaue fleckchen...die konnte ich in fb gar nich sehen..!

maybe you are not drawing exactly as you want but you certainly can draw

Thanks Josie, (but) that’s exactly my problem.

just keep drawing anyway. try some larger paper and free-er motion for a while. it could help.

Thanks, Josie. Well, I’d drench a cat in paint and swing it around if there was enough space, … but there isn’t. Instead, I’m heading in the opposite direction: I gave up drawing a coupla years ago because I had become too impatient. As a result, my recent prescrition includes very small, very elaborated drawings … and working my way onward from there. Maybe it’ll work this time, I dunno. ;^D

your idea runs contrary to what learned in art school but if it works for you - more power to you! i've never been satisfied with any of my drawings. so what do i know?

that's why i prefer a camera. (-;

I really really wish we had met in art school! You know, I simply love the idea that we could’ve argued and fight and end up understanding. Please don’t get me wrong Josie; I’m just having a baaaad case of “alma mater fever”, but what if … ? That’s why I’m kinda fed up with cameras. };^D

perhaps we should go back to the title

you have really nice penmanship.
in college i was mostly out in the woods making bio degradable sculpture and other things no one understood. (undocumented because i had no camera.) my design instructor said photography was not a high art. he didn't think at all about documentation. he's not searchable on the internet either. anyway...
at that time i was 16 and you would have been 12. but if we morphed things into the same time space i think we would have had some great discussions.

Sorry for replying so late, Josie … what I really like about your comment is, that there is a lot of individuality shining through. That’s excellent!

I know the feeling of being “out in the woods” in metaphorical terms and “making things no one understands” quite well. That’s why I had the best time of my life (probably, at least so far) at the art school—because that gave me the chance to meet lots of people who previously had made the experience of being an outsider, … and who suddenly found themselves being fully accepted. In a way, the house was jammed with folks who elsewhere were labelled as “freaks” … just because they did their own thing in art—and wouldn’t stop. There was a very high degree of mutual appreciation and respect between students, and nobody thought that you were “crazy” just because you did (and firmly believed in) “your own thing”. In fact, that was not only “normal”—it was expected that you did so. Times have changed radically since then …

You don't have to believe you're a good drawner to draw.
You don't need to have any faith in drawing.
You just have to draw.

Keep on, friend!
