[73]this time...? It's been slowing dawning on me that I'm doomed to fail as an artist. Sure, I can improve my technical ability to no limit, but it will only get me so far. Basically, since I'm a hermit, I'm not familiar with varieties of people and personality types. By commission, I may be able to pull off a character if I were provided enough description. But I don't even know where I would begin creating an original cast of characters for my own purposes. Or more importantly just subjects for whatever I draw or paint. Hmm.. yes. I'd be alright with commission. Perhaps the real problem is thus: I can only draw from reference. Be it life or what have you. I'll admit that this much will get me by. But I think I'd burn myself out eventually. There's an infinity more of possibility when you can pull images out of your head.. I don't know how to stress that enough. I guess it's what you call creativity. The silver lining in this is if I push myself enough to overcome my limitations, uh, I won't have them anymore? Hahaha. Really though.
