Doodle Thoughts AKA When are you skilled enough to enjoy things? Is skill necessary? (12/12/17)

Most times I view drawing like I view my fighting games. In fighting games, you have to learn. That's how you enjoy it. When I say learn this could be anything from learning basics controls and enjoying it to learning mechanics in depth, combos and etc then enjoying it based on that. Sometimes I draw and I lose sight. Rarely happens when I write. Actually it doesn't. It's exclusive to drawing. This thought is horrible and I think it might be wrong but it's "I can't wait to get good enough to enjoy this". I think that mentality is ass. I enjoy drawing, I've come a long way from battling comparisons and hating everything I do. At my youngest ages it was just enjoyable. I wasn't concerned with "once I get good it'll be fun". I catch myself. It's my form of expression and sometimes the result doesn't fully resemble what was intended. That's cool, natural. But you should enjoy things first. Right? You enjoy it. So you keep doing it. And you improve by the repetition. lol I live by the law of repetition. So I caught myself. Like, if I'm not enjoying it now, I shouldn't be doing it. If you don't like how that fighting game plays, don't learn it.

What are you good at? What do you enjoy? Are they the same thing?

Whatever it is you enjoy. Keep doing it. Don't compare. None of that wack shit. I did that to others, even though my intention was to motivate because I see potential i still did that. lol I did it to my brother to inspire him to take his craft more seriously. Sorry about that. Don't compare yourself. Or others. Do what you do because you enjoy doing it. And that'll be the thing you're good at. Yeah.

Love to you
