Some self-esteem wanted

Tue Sep 22, 2009, 3:02 PM

A very little would do. Ideas, anyone?

I just browsed through my own gallery to convince myself that I actually can draw... and somehow failed. I don't mean I hated everything I've ever done, no, that's not it. The problem is that when I look at pieces I've done a year or two or ages ago and I can't even believe I sometimes could do things like that. I cannot believe I've drawn them. How weird is that?

I don't know... I haven't managed to draw anything half decent in a very long time. Sometimes I really hate being such a perfectionist. When nothing works out perfectly everything starts to seem like a total catastrophe. Well, it's not the first time that I'm losing all faith in my abilities (like there were any to begin with...) to do anything. I keep telling myself it's just a phase, it'll pass. But it never really does.

My main reason to still try to draw has become to convince myself that I can do something. The times I get as far as trying are just getting very few and far between... and when I constantly fail, I wonder how long it's possible to keep fooling myself that it's just temporary. And to complete the circle, drawing is my only real escape... and now I'm escaping it.
