drawing just eats up my fucking time man
#eats up my time and my charcoal pencils

#tales from diana
#i spent five fucking hours doing my drawing homework and it came out w Several Fucking Foundational Flaws
#at least in composition for what the assignment was supposed to be
#and i was so unsatisfied w it bc in the end the figure i ended up doing was so small
#bc i was focusing on adding a lot of detail to the room i was sitting in
#and im soooo fucking anal-retentive about drawing rooms. long story short i should've just. zoomed in like 3.5x and not
#done all that much. i nearly burnt myself out before i even started drawing ME (THE POINT OF THE ASSIGNMENT)
#(IT'S A FIGURE DRAWING CLASS NOT A LINEAR PERSPECTIVE CLASS)
#the figure i drew is kinda cute actually but so squished it doesn't look... much like me at all
#maybe it's also my hair being tied back but the facial features are so small they dont look like anyone in particular
#and as small as they are they don't really resemble me much either
#so i was so unhappy w it that i drew a very VERY zoomed in one that was just. well mainly my face.
#it was on a smaller piece of paper
#(normally we do them on 18'' x 24'')
#i drew the ceiling and walls in the background but it's like. very much not the focus.
#there's a bit of shoulder and arm too but my hair is covering up a lot bc i let it down
#it's not very much fitting the assignment either but i thought it made up for the whole... lack of PERSON that i didnt have in my first one
#and counting the breaks i had to take to let my brain melt that all took like... six and a half hours
#but i couldn't NOT do all of that. i just. ugh. i wish drawing were fucking easy for me it absolutely is not.
#there are so many things i should do instead of what i naturally think to do. and im also very slow and detail-oriented
#detail-oriented but my details don't even turn out really good.
#what i draw in two hours other people could draw in less than half that time
#what i draw in six hours other people could draw in two
#and that doesn't make me want to give it up. i'm glad i work hard. i think it's worth it for the joy i get out of learning it.
#but damn. i'm just a slow-fuckin-poke.
