Author Topic: Anyone else OCD like hell over their own drawings?  (Read 1347 times)


I can't say I have very stylized drawings, and I love to draw, I'll end up making this one epic doodle (I made an epic looking house in math one day) and I cannot re-create it.

No, i start and then 20 seconds later my hand is just spazzing out and refuses to draw a line. Needless to say i'm bad at art.

Oh and i forgot the part where i start swearing and close it without saving.

I don't use a computer.

I think that my picture is terrible as i'm drawing it, if something isn't turning out as i see it in my head, TO THE TRASH WITH YOU, FOUL HEATHEN

Drawing with a mouse is difficult, but i think that me drawing with a tablet pen would also result in failed drawings because i think of what i used to draw on construction paper :(


Straight lines, and imperfect circles, messing up. I practically want to shout.

I have massive OCD about my handwriting. If I write a lowercase "a" and the tail is just a little off I'll erase it and rewrite it multiple times, then spend time precision erasing the pencil smears.
uh, you don't like your own handwriting?


I've been known to take twenty or more shots of a single photo to get the composition right.

loving HANDS.
HOW DO THEY WORK!?

Seriously, when I went to school everyone in my art class but me could draw hands.
This.



Over criticizing your own art work (no matter its form) is something everyone does. The trick is to learn how to control that, and just do. You'll get better with time by just making art the way you make it, and not over brown townyzing every detail. The details you used to stress over will kind of fade away. As always the saying stands true, practice makes perfect.
