Description I really should work a bit harder trying to draw. I really want to but keep making stupid excuses as to why I can't. My style should have changed a long time ago but I am to used to it and got lazy, so I did this to point me in some direction.

I do believe faces are the one thing I spend the most time and thought on, after all, the face is what I change the most between characters, usually their bodies are all drawn about the same way, and I draw a whole lot of head shots.

Tatemasu (Which I THINK was drawn by Jamboree but I've only seen one human bara drawn by them so that's a baseless guess) was the reason I started  drawing and is basically where I was heading. Derpy expressions, manly but kind guys, and all that. I don't even know why I like it so much, but I do.

I also like Tsukasa Matsuzaki's style alot, a lot more realistic but still they look kind and expressive. Despite kind of liking the cartoony style I always hoped that I can make mine realistic, just simple. Tsukasa doesn't use to many more lines than me, but their style is worlds better than mine.

Finally......I kinda forgot what other style I wanted to emulate, so thinking for a bit I chose Soul Eater, mostly because despite it not being my favorite anime ever and hating things like their nose Free is a favorite character out of every character I have seen and remember despite not having much screen time. I have to like the style enough that someone as simple as free became my favorite right? Or was it his voice actor? I don't know, It was a cop out choice, I need to think more about it.

The three things I do to try and motivate myself is memes like this one, being told what to draw really helps me because I just have to worry about bringing it to life, making and designing characters, why I have around 150 personal characters and keep making more, and trying to learn and use light and color effects, which I admit, I go crazy with. I should try to learn landscaping because of that.

Finally, when I draw I have a really strong feeling of creativity and motivation, usually my mind is stuck on one thing, that's why it hurts alot when I can't get it out. It's standing there, I know everything about it and I really want to get it out, but I can't. It's the worse feeling to me since I want to be a creator, not being able to create, and what I draw never stacks up to what was in my head which makes me even more depressed.

Oh yea. Meme found here:
