A favorite animated film, Ralph Bakshi's WIZARDS. (check it out today!) or don't
This is a freehand drawing of the movie poster that I've loved since childhood. Circa 1977, Wizards is an American animated post-apocalyptic science fantasy film which still holds relevance to this day. Written, directed & produced by the mad genius of Ralph Bakshi. I hope you enjoy this epic film. Peace & stuff...

Imagination
It's a wee bit off center, and my symmetry isn't perfect but I am tickled that my skull turned out well. No reference, freehand, black ink, alcohol markers. Composition, Values, Color Theory, and particularly Shadows & Light are anathema to me. I'm a real rebel girl. Lol. Jk, I struggle with the basics, though. Any advice/insights about leaving so much white in the background without making it look too busy & chaotic would be super helpful.

I drew this as a commission for a family member and I wanted to see for future projects what would be a good fee for work like this?

Genuinely don’t know what to do now
I really like drawing, but man my art is so darn bad, and that’s my problem. I just don’t really draw anymore because my art isn’t good, and sure I know that artists don’t even like their own art, but my art is just flat out horrible, and so I lose motivation to draw, because of how bad my art is. I want to keep drawing, I truly do, but I run off of motivation and pure motivation alone, but I don’t have any since my art just isn’t good, so at this point I really don’t know what to do about this. Also, one thing I wonder is… why do some people have natural born talent, and I don’t? Like I know art isn’t about being naturally good at it, but I’ve just never been good at anything naturally, so I don’t even know how other people are if that makes sense. I play guitar, and I see so many guitarists who have been playing the same amount of time as me, and are way better, so the same applies to art, just why? Why are some people better than me, when they don’t even practice, and I do?
