enlightenment and new kitty scarf.

Recently i've been having a heavy artblock and felt that i'm bad at everything, I felt lazy.

I saw peoples are more fond of a high-end-fancy-complicated-tech-painting-you-know-i-paint-this-for-long-long-hours-y-know! 

No, not that i said its a bad thing, i think effort plus hardworking are always the winner. 

But every person have their own strength and weakness, and it's natural for it. A quote said that you can do anything, but not everything. You can't be good at everything, that's a thing that every person need to understand and accept it. 

I just realize that until yesterday when i talked with my partner and remember a tutor said that than you try to "fix" your weakness, why not trying to grinding your strength instead? 

There's must be some reason why you good at something, that you enjoy it more for doing so. 

I know we always been taught that we need to fix our weakness and not showing it to other peoples. To be sarcastic, we must--can-do-anything! that's weird and unrealistic. Its true that its nice to tackle your weakness. But if you don't like or enjoy it however you try to fix it it wont be 100% nicely. 

why?

it's simple, 

because you don't enjoy it. 

It's good to try and learn new things, try to get out from our comfort zone. Some of the new things will fit nicely into your enjoyment.

but what if the new one didn't fit? at some point it will frustate you and it will ended up making us feeling down, starting to blame ourself. 

I learn that it's more better to trick ourself for "covering" our weakness by make the strength point more, that so good that people won't notice it. 

How many artists there that we can recognize easily by their style? Do you realize that usually they have their own distinguish style that we make us say, hey thats his/her drawing! i know it! 

All of this make me to think again and give me an enlightenment, to accept this. It leads me into new point of view, to make my strength more and "covering" the "weakness" while learn to fix it bit by bit, but not taking so much time and my energy for one that i didn't enjoy. Find some style that really suits your personality the best. Artworks should representing yourself, otherwise it's just a piece of lifeless works.

And i don't want a lifeless artworks.

And to be simple, 

isn't drawing suppose to be enjoyable and as an act of expressing yourself? : )

**I've ended up with drawing one of my muse for the whole of my time ; cats! I got the idea for this drawing when i played with my parent in law's cats. they look really fluffy to cuddle and getting warm to hug! so here it is, a kitty.scarf :p
