But for now i'm in some kind of an artist's block, and i really think that the reasons for it are the two above.

I'm talking about that because yesterday i had a look at my "very old school subjects", it was funny to see how much i improved for the last years, but there was another side of the coin :

It's about "telling a story".

When i was younger, i mean like 11 years old, i was already drawing stuffs, it was technically terrible of course, and obviously i wasn't earning money for it...

Now, i'm pretty sure most of the people on DA know what i mean if i'm talking about "old child drawing with so much damn thing happening on the paper"

I used to draw like hundreds of drawing like this, for example i drew soldiers fighting against dinosaurs, with planes smashing on them, with bombs and mines exploding everywhere, with a volcano that is about to explode and scientists on it trying to find out what's happening, with a lake with boats on it, with so much interaction between each characters that you never know where it stops! And with absolutely not a f*ck given to the color theory, trees are brown and green, water is blue, fire is yellow and orange etc...

(i need to find these drawings and i really hope my mother did not put it to rubbish...)

--------------------------------

The biggest difference right now is that, maybe, i've been too much busy thinking about getting better at drawing, and i almost forgot about telling a story that will give sense to the picture!

While, damn it, this is the best part of being a graphic artist, it's about creating something that just poped up in your mind, you can do absolutely what you want and with no limitations, i cannot imagine what it's like to be an animator (making things move and speak and do stuffs!!)

Soooo, why am i writing about this?

Maybe because i think this is some kind of a reminder for those who are in a artist's block, and also because i'm one of them ^^, and this reminder is mostly for me, and it's my DA personal page so i do what i want haha  

(I just disagree with the first one...)
