Title: Personal frustrations
Post by: Almeidaboo on December 21, 2005, 06:41:23 PM

All of us, charas-dwellers, are young people (21 ISN´T TOO MUCH OKAY?) with dreams and hopes for the future. Have a job, a beautiful wife, nice car, maybe even kids, who knows? Everyone has a main goal, the one you look at the whole time and say: Hell, you´ll be mine some day.

Still, we all know life ain´t just that. We have other kinds of desires and passions, that even though are "kinda" secondary, still matter a lot. I'm talking about having a band, winning that Jiu-jitsu tournament, making the best RPG Maker game EVER, so good that it´s even sold in stores, even thought you made it with a illegal copy of the program.

I know we´re all too young to have a personal frustration, but somethings in our lives just don´t fit, and we´re not able to do them in time. Per say, maybe you wanted to fight Jui-jitsu, but you just couldn´t for lack of talent, time, etc...

I have a personal frustration. I can´t draw good enough. I mean, I really try making new stuff, new poses and girls (the breasts area...impossible to draw). I don´t have time or money to pay for a teacher, so I try hard by myself to make good stuff. But I just can´t. I make no progress. Like, the pic attached, I couldn´t COPY it today. And I felt really bad, cause I love drawing. The stuff I posted in creative arts, dude, those were my TOP BESTS! And they suck near things you see around! I can´t make other views other than front and 3/4.

Anyway, I hope you guys know what I mean. Anyone has anything like that to share?

I didn´t attach the freaking picture!

I never had a problem drawing teh boobz.
My frustration is personal. Trying to knock up my wife. Not taking.
Makes me feel incompetant. Fertility doctor says nothing wrong.
WELL IMA **** THAT NIGGA UP

That's a good picture, much better than most people can draw.
I'm sure you're just making them feel worse.

Mine and yours are basicly the same, Almeidaboo. Can't draw the breasts. It bugs the crap out of me. every now and then, I might get a good drawing out, but it'll still suck (i.e. proportions, etc...)

Post by: Grandy on December 21, 2005, 07:08:16 PM

I wish I could draw a friggin' hand that doesn't look "Uh?!" or even a head, or a foot, or EVERYTHING!

 As for other personal frustations....

 I'm fat.
 I'm boring.
 I don't have any emotions, I'm that guy who when you say "I'm going to kill you" he nods and keeps staring nothing into the space.


 EDIT: That picture is yours?

I guess my personal frustration would be how damn skinny I am. I need to gain some weight...

I think the picture is the one he was trying to copy.

I have the same problem. I eat like a whale and I weight 61 kg. I'm not sick, I don't have anything weird, it's just how I am... But I'm not frustrated by that.

 I'm frustrated because I'm 18 and I never had a girlfriend (I know it's stupid, but still i's like... well... pathetic...).

Post by: Drace on December 21, 2005, 08:43:00 PM

Be glad you can drawn something. I can't draw things. I see beautifull things in my mind, but when I try to get them on paper....

Personal frustrations... don't really have any.

My personal frustation is that I can't gain 1 billion dollars in gold boulion by doing absoultley nothing for 17 miniutes.

That's a great drawing. but i see what you mean with the breasts. there are none there.

I surprised myself one day when I finished drawing an enlarged picture of Vivi using a picture from the internet as my source. I think I even shaded it. Very nice, got compliments.

But, I cannot draw freehand. Not that I want to, since I'm not an art kind of guy. I have the creativity, its just applied elsewhere.

I guess my personal frustration is that I'm not done with school yet. about 6 more months, though.  :jumpin:

Post by: Razor on December 22, 2005, 12:06:16 AM

I'm genetically skinny. And it's probably better than being fat anyway. Except I can see my ribs when I suck in my gut. But I'm not complainin'. :p

Post by: Cerebus on December 22, 2005, 12:11:06 AM

I am skinny too, but not as much as I was before. I can see my heart pump.

Nope, that´s Barts, from suikoden 3.

BTW Grandy, take a look at  this site about suikoden (http://www.suikosource.net) , specially in the characters partes. There´s everyone there, and they´re story...

You are not boring at all muthafucka! Stop that!

My frustration is not about breasts actually. I can´t draw them, by I can deal with them pretty good in real life.

The point is: I cant go further in something that I really love doing. I can´t make a "scene" for example. All I can do is what you´ve seen: front / 3/4 view characters that I make up. I can´t give them life, I can't make them fight. They´re just images, with no meaning. Still people, that do nothing but pose.

Ahh...well, I don´t wanna seem like an advisor for anyone, specially because advices are dangerous, but I´ll reply some stuff with my personal opinion...

Post by: AsakuraHao2004 on December 22, 2005, 01:25:18 AM

Lol.. I love this discuassion of bad drawing and skinniness... my frustration is fat people! Haha... don't ya just hate them? Taking up all of us skinny people's room? And people who can't draw! They're wasting all of us artists' paper and pencils. Lol.. kidding

My real frustration would have to be getting faster on my guitar. The same practices are tedius. Lately, I've been working on my pull-off doing things like |-13p12p10-| up and down the fretboard and strings. It helps.. it just sucks having to do it so much.

Edit: Ohh yeah, and writing with my left hand. I can do it good, just not fast enough.

Title:
Post by: Weregnome on December 22, 2005, 01:39:21 AM

Yer drawing takes alot of time to learn to do more, just practice. Its also very hard to give characters a 'life', I'm still trying to learn. And boobs.. I actually don't have alot of problems with female characters, I have more problems with males than females.

My personal stryggle is myself. Everytime something doesn't go right, I have this natural instinct to beat myself mentally over what I did and degrade myself back to a curled by crying form. I hate it and I jsut can't get rid of this.

Honestly expectance to have a girlfriend is somthing older plug into the minds of the younger. They put worth in the person by what they have rather than who they are. Be glad you are you and not be upset on what you don't have. Your worth no less, nor does it make you pathetic, don't let what other's say or think rule your life :).

As for me... it's complicated, because I'm the basis of the majority of my personal frustrations, I can't draw and I have a slight instability and my parents didn't tell me this until recently :S...

What are you talking about man your art is awsome compared to mine. I can look at a drawn image, like an old car or the the cloud from the cover of FF7, and draw them perfectly but when it comes to just making up stuff i have the hardest time. I ahve a shitload of cooks, i used to work a an Atlantic Books, and i have gained some skills. I will show you a picture when i can scan one of my copies(note they are not tracings) and some i made myself. I have trouble with the profile face's eyes and the 3/4 view eyes, basically eyes in general. And fantasy dragons and the like. But what i am trying to say is if you think you have troulbe wait till you see mine. And what makes it worse is that i want to be an art teacher.. just art history or design art. any of it. But if not i will study in art in college and mybe take a course in gaem desing and maybe give a copy to peopel at charas when i get older. Might be hard to remember that though. But i can still draw better than the average bear, just people think i am awsome and i don't think so. I geuss it is true when people say that i am a perfectionist when it somes to drawing. I think someone had commmented taht when i was just sitting in class doodling that I had erased the same pictuer  15 times before I actually stopped drawing it.

I geuss that is my personal frustration.

Ohh and also how did you color you drwaing that you showed. Was it on some computer program?

6 days till my birthday.

Frustrations?

When I can't focus on, or remember anything :) (typing this, I wrote slowly, 'cos i kept forgetting the words, and I kept looking out the window at nothing)

Yeah, i'm kinda like grandy, with the minimal reaction to the "I'm gonna kill you" thing, Heck, a gang of...ummm, "neds" as we call them here were threatening to attack me, and my reaction was..."Hm"

<.<" Frustrations suck

Almeidaboo didn't draw it I believe is what he's saying.

Post by: Rune_of_Punishment on December 22, 2005, 03:11:18 AM

Nope, he didn't draw that. That was drawn Suikoden 3's artist. He's frustrated that he can't draw that good.

I don't have much to be frustrated about. I guess my only frustration is that I'm lazy about everything and people that lie.

Anatomy books, dude.....Read anatomy books, no matter how much it bores you......force yourself to take noteson what youre reading, and be aware of every anatomical landmark, and in time, youll have no problem with the teats.....

I feel all sagely today...I did my first ever Photograph Tatto/Human Facial Portrait...And it turned out freakin great.

Sorry, I dont mean to Brag,  I just have nobody else to talk about it to, and Ive been excited about it since I got home from the shop.

Ohh I thoguht he drew that... ok wow that kinda changes what i said then doesn't it. Except fot the aprt that i can't draw that well, but can draw better than average as other poeple say. I geuss it is a preference thing.

XD Same.
I eat lots of stuff but my body stays the way I wanted. I don't even have to sport. Also, I sit on my a$$ all day but I still don't suck major a$$ in sports.

If I have any frustration, it's that I can't write with my left hand. I need to train that some more.

Post by: Darkfox on December 22, 2005, 06:15:15 AM

You coordinate you left arm so that it functions as well as your right. It's a matter of teaching your mind rather than the muscles. As for the skinnyness stuff, are you related to Shaggy, Razor?

I became ambidextrous by [STRIKE]alternating wanking hands[/STRIKE] pretend writing a lot with my left hand.

Post by: Rune_of_Punishment on December 22, 2005, 06:52:06 AM

Break your right arm. It makes it so much easier because your left arm adapts.

Title:
Post by: ZeroKirbyX on December 22, 2005, 07:05:15 AM

2 words: Basic shapes. Look at that char. Do you honestly think the started out that drawing by drawing all those little details? Look at his head, its a circle. His arms are cylinders, his torso 2 circles. Try copying the structure of it before drawing the detail in, it really helps in eyeballing a pic.

Think of drawing anything PERIOD as constructing a building. Even if you're looking at a finished picture of the structure, you can't build it with out the underlying structure.

But then he won't be able to use his right arm until it heals and for right handed people, thats bad. Plus it isn't the arm that adapts.

If I did enough drugs to think my dog was talking, then maybe, Darkfox, maybe.

You guys should be able to stop wacking off in a painless way... Plus, being a lefty isn´t that great. I´ve been left-handed for 21 years now and it isn´t a big deal...

Well. If my right gets tired I could go for left after #10 of the day.

For real, I just want to be both-handed because:

A) I find it cool
B) I want to be special
C) I only to change my writing hand to act like I'm from a parallel universe or 'mirror' universe.

Firstly, we're not all black; secondly, I don't wack off anymore, but if I did, I would win.
