Testing myself

Ok, so I desperately wanted to start sketching again and the first thing that came to my Naruto crazy mind was, of course, a Kunai. So I realize my drawing is almost perfect, if I may say so myself, but my shading really lacks definition. I think the dark really needs to be darker. hm..

Starting to sketch again

I used to sketch a lot when I was still studying, but being a perfectionist I always hated whatever I sketched. I tore and threw away every single sketch I made during college and now I regret it to a heart-breaking extent. I have now learned to be less critical of and more satisfied with what I do.

I want to tell you how this happened. I saw people who are far less talented than I am boast about being such expert artists that it hurt. Yes. It hurt like someone had stabbed me right in the lungs and I couldn't breathe. A few days ago someone proudly sent me a snap-shot of a sketch of a door they had made. The dimensions were so distorted that if it was real world the door would never be able to fit inside the place that had 'artistically' been left in the wall for it. That's when I decided to start something I had stopped doing because I thought I was bad at it. It seems I never was so bad at it. Maybe I was competing with Da Vinci. Not anymore :)

Naming my blog. . . AGAIN.

So I didn't really have a lot of posts in my blog but four posts in a lot of years was still something. I opened my blog today, just to check whether my posts were still there and :o! They were not! Blogger tells me I have never written a single post.. ever! In fact I didn't even HAVE a blog! And I don't remember this site being called blogger. No, it was called blogspot! So now I have really used up all my gas being angry on blogwhatever and I don't have anything more to say.
