I feel as though I've lost interest in drawing...and I'm sad about it.

I still draw in my sketchbook, but it's been a while since I've done a full piece. Everytime I'm with my mom, she's always bragging to people about how proud she is of my art, I appreciate it. What I don't appreciate is when she's basically telling me to show what I'm working on or show my sketchbook. :\ But like, it's my hobby. If I wanna tell people I like to draw, or show ppl my art, let me do it on my own terms or if it's ever brought up during a conversation. I don't even like to tell people I draw anymore cause the convos are always the same. 'I can't even draw stick people!' 'wow that's cool!' and the worst one, 'can you draw something for me??'

I HATE when everyone asks me to draw something for them. I always had a hard time saying no, bcause I feel like if I do, I disappoint them and they won't care about talking to me anymore. :\ it's weird. Not only that, but I rarely recieve anything other than a 'I love it, thank you!'. I don't expect anything really. But what are people doing with my pictures afterwards? Hang it up on a wall? Put it down somewhere and forget to grab it when you leave?

plus I got all this art supplies built up from the past few years, I don't really use anymore. (srsly I got three sets of gouache I don't even use.....why me....why did you buy three sets of gouache? YOU COULD'VE BOUGHT MANGA WITH THAT!! )

another thing is it's just not really fun to share my art with ppl anymore. I'm very particular of what I draw these days, so it's very limiting on improving my art, not only that but with my adhd and very awful attention span, it's gotten even worse. I used to be able to spend hours working on something. Now I spend around 20 or so minutes, and I'm bored.

Also people tell me 'YOU SHOULD SELL YOUR ART!' okay. cool. you gonna buy it? how do you expect me to make copies of every drawing? printers cost money. ink costs money. shipping stuff out costs money. buying photo paper costs money. buying any kind of supplies to run any kind of small business cost money.

you say you want me to sell my art, but that costs money too. :\

and heck if I start telling people it's $5 or even $10 for a drawing, they always say nevermind.

I always told people; I love drawing. I don't want to turn it into a thing and eventually start hating it.

....:\

I know this all sounds negative of me, but it's just how I'm feeling about the hobby. I really should go through my supplies.

I really would like to try to find a new hobby.

Thanks for reading my rant lol

#art #artist problems #rant #personal stuff #adhd #losing interest #it sucks cause I used to love to draw I'd draw all the time #now I just don't wanna think about it anymore #i know my mom means well but she gotta chill #i gotta stop giving free art to people too #like no i only draw for me #if you want art pay at least $5 otherwise tough luck
