Description I've been drawing ever since

(like many of you I know)

when I was still just a kid,

I drew everywhere: at school, in cars, at home.



I know I'm not the best,

there are many things I lack,

but I truly love to draw

and that itself is FACT.



I know I draw the heads to big

and the necks too long,

my anatomy is off

and the expressions are completely WRONG.



My coloring is messy

and terribly crude.

I constantly have art block

...just not in the drawing mood.



Sometimes I feel unworthy

and just not good enough

but why should I quit something

I truly, truly LOVE?

Wow, this is inspiring! I used to dislike drawing only because I wasn't as good as my older sister, but eventually I accepted my drawing flaws and kept getting better. I wish I had read this poem when I first started drawing

Gahh thank you! I actually started drawing the same way you did. I started doing it because my brother was doing it.

He was sooo much better than me, but I kept going because I enjoy it.

Thank you for your sweet comment

You're welcome
Yeah, my sister started drawing years before me, and I felt really bad that I couldn't draw like her. But looking back at what my sister drew like, I see that I've gotten much better than what I thought possible at the time. And I'm still getting better.
I'm glad you kept drawing Your drawings are awesome!

Yeah, I feel down sometimes about my own art compared to others' but personal improvement is what really matters.

Thank you
