I want to draw and do animation

Post Reply New Topic

You know, because of my balance and coordination challenges, I was never into drawing things. I know that my entire life, I could only keep a pen in my hand steady by using both hands instead of one. Even my staff tells me I'm "awkward" for not living up to those standards. I feel so depressed because I can't draw anything on paper, and I prefer the look of traditional drawing to computer stuff. I feel so super awkward because of the little actions every day that require certain physical effort. Kind of makes me feel gay or effeminate also.

I always wanted to pursue drawing and animation too, but I feel that I will struggle or it will take YEARS to progress when for others it will only take months. I guess I was inspired by seeing the cartoonist documentary "A Wasted Life" by the BBC about Matt Groening (it's on YouTube)

My struggles make me very upset to the point where I'm almost crying in my speech and having rapid racing thoughts. This struggle doesn't just affect me in this situation.
