I tried to pick up the paper and pencil again to  draw but in the end I had to put it down because it frustrated me. I have never been a good artist and it has plagued me since I was a kid. I would have liked to have been an artist but I never felt I had the skill to make it a career so I decided to pursue something I was good at programming and use the money I made to attend art classes, etc. Forward close to 20 years, I am still very weak at drawing and the ongoing frustration makes me wonder if I should just give up. I haven't taken any classes due to the fact that I am either working or very tired(damn you MS!).
    I have called several artistic schools to try to get into an art program. I don't think an online art school will do me any good b/c I need some encouragement when it comes to drawing. I too often lately just give up so unsatisfied with what I drew or was trying to draw.


Edit Aside: Ok. Those ads are annoying(well worth the 20 bucks to remove them). Too distracting when I type and I did not like them hovering at the top of my page either.
