I’m bummed that I realize this so late to my “career” but I don’t think I’ve ever practiced drawing enough. I never developed the sort of intuitive hand that can just grab a pen and draw a good figure in 10 seconds. No, I fumble. I draw a big awkward mess and then start to fix it into something decent, and it takes forever sometimes

I guess it’s not enough that one is able to draw anything they want, it’s also valuable to have enough experience that you’re efficient at it

  6. faitherinhicks said: I STILL feel like this, and I’ve drawn over 3,000 pages of comics. It’s just how it is for some people, I guess. :( I wish I could be more efficient with my drawing, but I’m just not.
  7. lennan6 said: I feel this pretty hard. It describes my drawing skill as well. It’s so frustrating and hard to build up the skills of you haven’t been trained for it from a young age. =/
