Do it! It's fun!

...with a question mark at the end of the title.  So yes, sometimes I get a great inspiration for an artwork, video, or story, and I get really excited about it.  The problem is, I don't take action.  I don't begin the story, I don't shoot the video, and I always make excuses to avoid doing any drawing.  Terrible right?  Yeah, I'm pretty mad at myself too.  I often reprimand myself: "Why can't you just START it?  You have such good ideas but all you do is THINK about them.  For God's sake just DO IT!"  Then my other self would say "nooo, my presciousssss."  Ahaha.  No, I would feel very bad.  Terrible in fact.  I know I can create amazing things if I put in the effort and determination.  I can be great......like Superman, but I'm just too darn lazy.  And that's a shame, Cyuli.

I want to know why I avoid practicing these venerable art forms, so I meditated and got to the heart of the problem.  No I didn't actually meditate.  It happened while I was drawing.  Anyways, close enough.  So I was drawing a standing fan I have in my dorm room and found that sketching it onto paper was really difficult for me.  I was frustrated that I cannot get the proportions and shading right, and everything looked so messy.  Already I wanted to put down my pencil and leave the sketchbook on the shelf for a month. It was then I realized why I avoid drawing, writing, and filming---the three things I would love to learn and do---I was a beginner.  I am just no good.  What I make looks crappy, and compared to the other masters in the area, I stand the sight of my product.  How long will it take for me to be as good as those brilliant artists and writers?  I cannot even comprehend the amount of blood and sweat I will need to put in to be that good.

I read a blog somewhere titled "10 mistakes beginners make," and one of them was expecting yourself to be perfect on the first try.  And that was me.  I wanted PERFECTO.  I don't want to produce amateur-looking art or bad writing.  I want people to say "Wow! She's a newbie and she's already so good!  She's got talent!"  orz  ahaha, see how egocentric I am?  So that was my problem.  Expecting to be perfect, which is impossible!  Only practice makes things perfect.  There are no shortcuts.  And as you guys can tell, I haven't posted any artworks.  I thought "I better polish my artworks before submitting for all the people of the interweb to see."  But I realize now that I need time to grow, to learn and do.  And this site is designed specifically for that.  To support artists, whether new or pro, and create an inspiring, nurturing environment for them to extend their skills and abilities, and learn from fellow practitioners.

So, here's my New Year resolution.  In 2010, I will submit at least five artworks, whether good or bad.  I will not worry so much about popularity and reputation, and concentrate instead on learning and exploring art.  I will also begin writing and filming, and will not be discouraged by its suckiness   I will not give up.

To anyone that is reading this: Ganbatte!  Add oil!  Or in other words, let us work hard together!  Fighting!

Oh, my very first journal entry.  Haha, as if anyone is reading this at all!  I guess it's just me talking to myself and laughing at my own lame jokes.  8D oh well, at least I'll have fun doing it. ^---^

Oh man, I'm getting so obsessed with devART, it's not even funny!  Last night, I stayed up until 3:00 in the morning just looking at these awesome artworks and drooling over them.  Seriously, how do you ppl out there get that good? It's almost a sin to be that good. xD

I've been drawing since I was a kid, but never had much patience for it.  I would draw for a month or two then get bored of it because I felt I wasn't improving.  The last time I draw something was...three, four years ago?  *siiiigh*  Now devART has revived my interest by showing me just how much you can do with colors, computers, and your imagination.  Seriously, we need more art in the world, and devART is a great site that promotes it.

So, I'm sorry if the entries I submit suck. I'm still learning. 8P  Art is hard man!  I'm sure y'all agree with me one that one.

I love anime and manga drawings.  I really do.  It's also what prompted me to continue drawing.  But I want to go back to basics, like drawing real-life objects and still-life.  Afterall, to draw realistically, you have to draw real things first right? ^_^

I know you guys love me *talking to the air* so I will keep updating the journal on my random thoughts.  And believe me, they're really weird sometimes.
