It doesn't have to be amazing, just put your heart into it! Draw something you love, enjoy, or you think looks too absurd to not be preserved in art. It's too easy to be paralyzed by the feeling that your work isn't good enough, and that can keep us from trying in the first place. But you don't have to meet some arbitrary standard to make anything, and the more you do something, the better it will get! And it feels wonderful to look at a finished product and think "yeah, I made that." Because you accomplished something. So draw me something!

EDIT: Hey, if you want to see/make/vote on some pretty pictures using a connect-the-dots template, there's some threads for that! (Thanks Kuzurreesh!)

I doodled two of the characters from 100% Orange Juice. They aren't super consistent, but I drew them and I'm happy with that. And that's what matters most.

Great drawings!
Here's some of my stuff! I've got a lot of work to do (being a freelancer is not that easy) so I'm sorry I couldn't stop and draw something new right now!

Hey man, your sketches are cool! I like the roughness in your lines, hatchings, colors. Everything looks a bit dirty and fits the dark theme very well, I am quite into these weird post-apocalyptic things. Keep up the good work.

I like your sentence "It's too easy to be paralyzed by the feeling that your work isn't good enough... But you don't have to meet some arbitrary standard to make anything..."
It's a great one to keep in mind while wielding a pen or creating anything.

That's awesome! I wonder if I'd like Mirror's Edge, but some first-person games give me motion sickness.

(and I'm really glad you liked my writing because it took me a long time to put my thoughts into words, haha)

Mirror's Edge is, in my opinion, one of the finest games created in the recent years. It's very unique and I think everyone should get a chance to play it. Even if you didn't like it, you'd be able to refund it on steam, but there is absolutely nothing that could stop me from recommending that beautiful game to everyone I meet.

Nice thread. I've been drawing professionally for the past twelve years, so I won't refuse an opportunity to show off one of my latest work.
This one took around a month to draw, but to be fair I put more effort in the details than was necessary.

I wouldn't say that being abstract means you can't draw. Someone made the battle backgrounds in EarthBound and the bizarre textures in Gankutsuou, after all!

yeah see them's is art; it wasn't that i was implying that abstract stuff isn't art - it was to contest callin' my stuff "abstract" as it doesn't take skill to scribble as i do xD that first one kinda reminded me of this and the second reminded me of one particular artist whose style looked vaguely graffiti-like (if you could even make it out through all of the noise) - i forget his name though :<

I'm kinda awful at drawing by hand but I did gave it a try a few times at doing something digitaly, the only decent things I found were this two isometric pixel art experiments I did last year, I never finished them tho (it was only something I did to keep me entertained during a week I had nothing to do at work).

Thank you! I know realism is the best way to really learn to draw something (and I do stare at my hands and pose in a mirror), but it's a lot easier to hide your flaws when you aren't trying to perfectly emulate life :V
