I dont want to be another talented dreamer- hoarding mounds of ideas and having very little to show for it.

I feel like I am at a very interesting point in my artistic path. I used to be what Ive been told is a "Product Person", where I would finish my art projects, no matter what the mistakes I would make along the way.

Then I hit the point where what I wanted to accomplish I lacked the skill to do. I stopped drawing for a time, and it was a very low point. My dear friend pushed me to draw every day, sketches, at least 15. Just do it. Let the ideas flow.

So I did, and the ideas were relentless. This helped me process how to approach an idea, and to explore more in the way of human anatomy, composition, etc. My understanding of art deepened, as did my ideas.

My senior year I would finish my art projects, regardless of practicing "process". But again, i felt i lacked the skill to match what my imagination demanded.

I am at the point, and when i say point, i mean this in a way where I am not sure if this is a continual struggle- and something is telling me that it is. But I am at the point of having the ability to articulate my artistic voice with a stronger set of skills.

Hesitation will be the death of me. I know this is not the end. My circumstances- artistically, emotionally, physically, etc. - WILL cultivate the seeds i throw it. Something WILL grow. All I really want for now is a discipline, a dedication. A passion that will not take excuses. I can do this. I will do this. Watch me.
