I like doing most types of art but digital art specifically feels so oddly tedious and I just intrinsically loathe something about the process of sitting in front of a computer for 5 hours making random idiot lines on a screen yet for some reason my wretched brain is always heavily invested in doing creative projects that coincidentally require me to make art to accompany them (animations, games, worldbuilding concepts, etc.) and I always find myself yet again sat foolishly at the desk with that gods damned bastard tablet pen in my hand like

#''we're doing this again... huh...'#90% of this is probably solely impatience though #since art is usually secondary to the larger goal what my brain really cares about is the larger goal at hand not #fixing shitty line art for 30 minutes straight lol... like.. if im doing something i want to get to the EXCITING PART!! not the... tedious #background work.. i want to spend time WRITING about the species!! i already know what they look like in my head! why must i sit #here and craw them out like this cant i just print the image from my mind i want to be focusing on the COOL things not this lmao #like it just feels like busy work.. i have to keep telling myself like.. you.. have to do this part before you can do the rest #like i cant DO an animation without art for the animation but my brain has already moved on to like the other parts of #the project and etc. etc.#i want to WRITE with the characters and get to the fun details of it ... drawing them is just... a necessary evil... ggghh #if i could afford it i would absolutely hire other people to do things for me lmao.. obviously i would still have to draw concept sketches #and stuff so they would know what sort of thing i was thinking but i'd let them take it from there #i;m not good at art anyway i do it out of necessity so i know there are people who could add significant quality to the concept #and sketch it out even better than i could #I mean i am lucky that I'm okay enough at it that i can skate by on my own like if i do art for a shitty little game i can manage #it may be a bit sloppy but it's passable and etc. so like... at least i can do enough to where it's not like i literally have no choice but #to ask other people since the skill is so out of touch but stil... bintch... if i could.... you best bet i would be not doing this part of #things lol... if i put on documentaries and stuff in the background i can kind of zone out and just get it done but still about every 45 #minutes my brain zooms out and starts watching me from third person and i come back to the realization that i dont #enjoy this part of things at all and no matter how many distracting things i put on in the background nothing will be able to make this #anything more than necessary but tedious repetitive monotonous dooky work #bhghBHbbb anyway #only further proof in my like.. 'im more of a concept person than an art person' theory like.. i love to .. design things and come up with #things and the tactile experience of making things and the puzzle of pieceing together ideas and etc. but like... just drawing for drawing's #sake or doing art as a past time or etc. gets old fast. i dont think i've ever just sat down and drew soemthign without an alternate #motive or extensive backstory to it. i wish i could just sit down and draw people for practice or do scenery for fun or etc. but #i just... aaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
