lierdumoaStayed up all night last night doing a last minute project and another, way ahead of time project. I have no sense of priorities. Anyway, I got home around 3:00pm, I think. Checked my e-mail, checked my flist, chatted on trillian. Collapsed on my bed some time later. Woke up at 2:00am, never having needed so badly to pee in my life. Life is...interesting, as always.
I'm currently staring at Saiyuki fanart, which is doing terrible, terrible things to my mental health. I can't help staring at really incredible pencil art and thinking, "God, I want to draw like that." I don't have this problem in vidding because I've got the skill and and the utter insanity to make pretty much any vid I can think of. I don't have this problem in writing because the truly amazing fic I read is so far beyond my abilities I don't even attempt to aspire to it.
The problem is that whenever I see a truly magnificent pencil drawing I know I have just enough talent that I could probably become that good eventually if I would only practice. But I'm never going to practice. I'm compelled to vid. I generally have to force myself to draw. And let's face it, willpower is not my strong point. I've never drawn anything that took more than a day to finish.
Maybe what I need is to take a drawing class.
Hmmmm.
