I met a group of artists this week who are honing in on their weakest skills in order to force each other to work on them, no matter how painful it is.
It’s easy to work on the things you’re good at, and much easier to give up and forget when you don’t succeed on the first try.
So, what do you suck at? Is there a reason? Would you ever try to improve?
I suck at doing full color rendering, painting landscapes and elaborate scenes. I’m best when working in grayscale and quick sketching.
I tend to get bored finishing involved pieces because I enjoy the foundational part of the process the most, so I get the “accomplished” feeling early and then struggle with the rest, or abandon the project all together…I lack stamina.
Probably because of my all consuming need for instant gratification. (๑_๑//)
The colour is my favorite part, drawing is the struggle to get there.
I’m really bad at drawing and music. I’d love to improve both, but with drawing I haven’t put in any time and music I’m too self conscious to practice in our living situation.
That’s tough. You couldn’t just practice with a phone app (with both) and headphones?
