Description Dunno if it's in the right category... forgive me

But all my stupid feelings i had before about .... haha i don't even remember them now.

i just went on omegle with one question "Ctrl+C"ed into my computer's memory which was "Hi, What is the cure to laziness?" he told me i was looking in the wrong place, and i was like, i'm just trying to find great ideas...

and that was the ANSWER! INSPIRATION!!!

then i just suddenly somehow wanted to draw, just a meaningless doodle on OC, not knowing what i was going to draw, just guidelines for anything...

it's an unrelated path, but somehow it's just that when it just clicked, with the guidelines, i didn't know what i would end up with, you know right, the same feeling of indecisiveness like "Where do i go from here?" "what do i want to be when i grow up"

as meaningless and cliche as anime eyes could be,

when i was drawing these eyes, everything else around me just went blank, i didn't notice it's freaking hot outside, and i left the door open, i didn't notice the sounds, nothing, just me and these eyes!!!! i zoomed out and somehow the small bits and pieces i drew came together

and in the end a pic of mirune just came up

and i just remembered "This is why i draw"

now i can't believe how foolish i was before this, with the animation, i was afraid to fail, afraid that little things would deviate me from what i would want it to be,

i can't explain what i just understood, maybe it's best summed up as "have fun and enjoy whatever you do."

This is just to beautiful (even it's just a sketch)

Better try open canvas. It might make my works better too. :3

wow

i loved reading your description.

you really hit the nail on the head there.

it isn't often easy to get that feeling while u draw, but once u do, nothing can take it away from you.

I just watched an old shaolin movie some minutes ago. It was all about eternal wisdom, the meaning to life and what makes us go on. And your comment seems like an old shaolin wisdom about one's life and purpose. I red your comment just because of the title of your drawing, before I even looked at what you drew. I've been struggling a lot lately with waht I'm drawing. I've been asking people all around me if the like what I do and what I should change. But after reading your comment it was all just meaningless. I didn't really care for my drawings anymore. I just wanted others to like what I draw. I wanted praise more than anything. But now I feel stupid and silly. I loved to draw once. And I don't know why I gave that up. I'm gonna start drawing for myself again. To draw what I like and to draw how I like. In the end we should draw because we like it and to have fun with it. You made me realize that. Thank you very much for ti.

Check out Elemental Gelade, or Rental Magica or Maken Ki?

apart from H-game authors, these are what use for resources

What you drew, and the words you posted. All summoned up my inspiration as well. But alas, I don't have much time til I have to go to school. It would be really great if the inspiration would stay..

it's great to discover your artistic motivation! I'm glad you were able to find it. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but it appears to be you do it for love of your work.

My motivation was discovered recently too, I'm an Entertainer, I live for my audience and I crave to make them happy/entertained! So I draw, design, create, write, to share with my friends.
