Yes okay I just made up this word: impulsive artist. Or maybe it has already existed...
Anyway let me explain why I am considering myself as an impulsive artist. There are days where I really want to draw. I want to create such a good drawing but it just doesn't work out how I want it to. I am sitting in front of a paper for hours but my mind is blank. Just like the paper. When I finally draw something I am not satisfied with the result. I get frustrated and I stop drawing for a long, long time.
But then there are these days. These rare, awesome days when I can't stop drawing. I don't think about what I should draw, I just start. Sometimes with the first object which catches my eyes or literally just with one line. Time passes and I don't even notice it. It's like I am on auto-pilot and when I wake up, hours have passed. I love this state of mind. Everything else is just quiet, I am just focused on my work.
I drew the hand on the picture during my 5 hours stop in Amsterdam. I came from Germany and had to wait for my connecting fly to Manila. I was so full of emotions and thoughts. The only thing what could calm me was to start drawing.
I was used to draw with pencil not with a ballpoint pen because I am usually afraid to make mistakes. But this time I was 'brave' enough to draw without the feasibility to erase. It was so fun and made me realize that there are so much more ways to create art. I just have to have the courage to start exploring those.
I am not a professional artist, I just draw for myself. But I am willing to learn from everyone and everything what can teach and help me to improve my skills.
Thank you very much if you made it all this way down here and for taking your time to read about my weird thoughts about art

Hallo Miriam, bitte tagge Deine Beiträge nicht mit #deutsch, wenn sie nicht in Deutsch geschrieben sind.
Creativity is pretty much independent from our plans - sometimes we have it, sometimes we don't. I have worked in a video production during my university days, my task was to create pretty artificial backgrounds for music videos, so I can totally relate to your toughs. There were days when I was able to create fantastic scenes, there were days when nothing I did was good enough and everything had to be scrapped. Cheers and happy New Year! : )
Yes exactly! Happy new year :)
It's very realistic! I think you should liaten to your inpulse and juat draw when you want to. It must be there for a reason. I also learned to make more art here in steemit.
You draw really well and it's good that drawing relaxes your minds and fills you with emotions. Could imagine you draw more from your impulse soon. Keep it up!
Thank you very much for your kind words :)
Indeed steemit encourages us to so much! There is so much creativity in me which I would have never explored if I hadn't join this community. People here are so inspiring.
Wow, how nice. You have a talent, you should explore more and keep inspiring people. Nice job.
thank you :)
