it gets frustrating when you can never seem to reach the level you want to reach, sometimes you start believing that it'll never happen. at least, that's how i feel sometimes.

Anytime I think about giving up I literally begin to feel sick to my stomach...like I ate something I wasn't supposed to. It's...a terrible feeling.

The only question that has every crossed my mind was "What would my life be like if I'd quit drawing?". And I always come to the conclusion that it'd probably be boring.

I have thought stopping many many times, but only few times seriously. Mainly because I'm so demanding with both the quality of my drawings and the comments! I know that I've succeeded when my drawings make people smile, their eyes twinkle or gasp! It's something I enjoy the most, I can't find anything to compare to that feeling, when I make someone happy it makes me happy +200%.
I am sometimes childishly attention-hungry, that I get upset if I have wasted all my effort trying to make the most awesome picture I've ever done and all I get is:"Nice pic". It just makes me lament, but eventually I come to my senses.

I enjoy drawing, but only if I can share it with people, specially people I like.

when i am forced by people around me to think about my future and all that, they tell me it's childish and i should grow up, university this, job that.
but then i ask myself if i'd be happy doing anything else, and i know the answer then: i live to create

I almost always question myself when I pick up my pencil nowadays... But.. all I've ever done is draw, if I stop drawing.. then I'll have nothing left..

right now i've stop drawing but as it pays my rent and food i only draw for my work cause is necessary i know it's not definitive I'm only taking a pause so i sew to kill time T_T but soon i'll fall inlove with drawing again like i always do and make awesome drawing
-____-" hope it happen quickly i'm getting bored!

>_< i could never, it's one of the only things im very proud i can do. Sure, im not the best, but all i can think of is improve improve improve! I must study art to better my own, and there's no way i could ever pick up a pencil and not think of a possible drawing! Im want to be a doctor that works in the morgue, but there is no way i could ever give up drawing. It's one of my sole passions that i work the hardest on! Giving it up would be like losing a piece of myself!

I thought about it and I did it too. I started drawing in early elementary and continued filling notebooks for eight years. I drew and drew but got angry when my world got bigger and I realized how much better people were than myself, even those who had been drawing for a much shorter time than myself. Even those who I had helped get started drawing in the first place. I quit for four years, barely a doodle on school or college work. I started again when I made a friend who was very into art (*cheshiresmile ). It is hard getting back to it, I hate almost everything that leaves my pencil. I remember what it was like to create something I was proud of, I strive to get that back.

'Once in a long while, but it's just a short moment you think about it. Never take it serious.' <-- Totally me. (: I had a massive drop in confidence when studying Art at A-level because of the way it was taught and the curriculum, and it made me feel like I was rubbish and had no talent and should give up. It fluctuated and came and went.
The moment I broke free and had the Summer and then University, I re-discovered my love for Art ^-^ I think it's easy to sometimes lose heart but it always comes back eventually!
