This is what i feel like today, anyone who is creative knows exactly how i feel, when i put pencil to paper and nothing comes out correctly this is the statement that runs through my head oh dear the frustration! So this is basically all i have drawn. This quote is rather negative, i am totally having brain block right now! All i want to do is draw but all my people end up looking fugly and on my little trip out to the shops i forgot to pick up a new moleskin, i am really picky when it comes to what i draw on. I have about a million sketchbooks but i am yet to find the perfect paper. Oh the drama of being an artist. Don’t worry i will probably feel totally different about my drawing ability tomorrow.
On a lot happier note i decided it was finally time to upgrade my little £3.95 phone to a splendidly wonderful iphone 4s, I have been thinking about this for awhile and i am really happy that i have, it is amazing. I never ever buy anything for myself so walking into that store and buying the iphone was kind of a big deal to me, but i am enjoying it. I hope you are all having a wonderful saturday?
well we no this isn't true 😉 but i know how you feel loves! its the worse when all you want to do is draw and everything you do draw you hate on and it just doesnt go right, ah so annoying!

Do you think you'll get on instagram? I'd love to follow you!
I feel exactly the same today. My creative ability seems to have disappeared and I am constantly second guessing myself 🙁 Hopefully a good nights sleep and it will all come back!
Glad you are enjoying your new iphone. I am completely addicted to mine so am trying to wean myself off it!!
I love moleskins, they're the best pocket notebooks! I feel like this so so so so much!

I hope you get back into your drawing soon! If it makes you feel any better, I can't draw to save my life EVER…even my attempts at stick men look wonky 🙁

I had a creative block the other day, it was so annoying :
Jealous of your iPhone too!

Hopefully tomorrow will be a better drawing day, and I recently bought a new phone too! A Samsung Galaxy, but I love it and having the internet on it too 😀

That's spooky, i literally just made this same confession on my blog this morning!! I definitely know how you feel with the creative blockage – its annoying! But you are a brilliant artist and I'm sure the creative mojo will come back soon! xxx
Whilst we all know this isn't true,at least you drew something! Creative block happens to everyone!
I hope you've given yourself some headspace, and it comes back.
It totally bugs me that sketchbooks have such AWFUL paper. Why is it all so smooth and processed? I want a paper with some tooth! I want a deckled edge! I want my ink to slide into it, to spread out a little, to become part of the paper, not just to sit on top of it and rub off over time.
I know how you feel! I always get that feeling, especially when starting a new sketchbook. But I think your drawings are gorgeous :).
Travelogue handbooks are pretty good, paper wise, hope that helps! X
Just read your 24 before 24, and I love it, I'm 24 in December, so I might start a list. You've inspired me. xx
Story of my life! And I need to learn so hopefully when I do my art foundation it'll get a bit easier.
But it annoys me when you say the above quote and then people shout back at you "But you must be able to draw, you're an artist!"
