Like...art was always something I did as a means of creative expression. I may not have been great at it, but I never really worried about it because it was fun, and because everything I drew was reflective of me and what I was into at the time. My friends and family, as well-meaning as they were, sort of expected me to draw on the drop of a dime. Like, they thought I always had that shit on-call, but I always ever just drew when the mood hit me and didn't really care much about what came of that.
Ahh okay, I see. I totally understand man. Luckily for me, with my mom also being an artist. My family was cool in that respect. She understood that drawing isn't something you can't just "do" at the drop of a hat. Some of my friends on the other hand...I always got requests for tattoo designs or whatever. Which I would feel kind of obligated to do. I did do a couple requests and they were fairly fun. It's just most of them I would end up blowing off because I just didn't have the motivation. Really, I just want to draw what I want to draw and do it at my own pace. Even if it's a snails pace.
