@crystalkitsune85:
I get that. You might want to try doing something like pencil or charcoal where you can erase to an extent or try watercolor florals or something on that scale. The reason I suggest that latter one is because I do little corner decorations on 3x5 cards - so the actual ‘painting’ probably only takes up about 2x2 inches max. And since I’m not trying to cover even all of that space with paint it takes me only about 10-20 minutes (less if I’m not doing a ton of detail work with leaves) to cover the space. So if you mess up you haven’t wasted much time, you can throw it out and start on something new easy and not feel bad about it. And as you go it should get easier to work without an undo. Or at least that’s how it worked for me. I recongize not everyone is the same, but I think it could be worth giving it a go.

@moif: I've always wanted to work with Copic markers. But those little pens are expensive as heck. I had a set of basic ones on my Amazon wish list, and it was like the cheapest set. I've never brought myself to buy them though because as much as I did digital art, I didn't see spending the $ for them. I also can draw on paper, I've done that before I did digital stuff. I don't really like charcoal because of the mess, and I get this weird feeling with having charcoal on my hands. I had to do it in art classes, and I had to put on gloves to use it because of the residue. I also have some nice wax based colored pencils I can draw with too. I've just not been artistically motivated.

I even submitted it as an entry for the annual College magazine, which was put together in a class. They feature short stories, art, and what not of students from the previous year. I didn't make it in though, but I did get to make one issue of the magazine one year. I took the class and I was listed as an illustrator. It's neat because they credit all the people who work on the magazine.

That sounds so cool!
I had some of my ceramics put on display in our school’s art exhibit at the college. All the high schools had art in it, so it felt pretty gratifying to be picked.

The community college I went to, had a gallery that featured like alumni artwork pieces. They even had a class about how to work/manage a gallery there. It was pretty cool. There was a spot for figure sculpture, and a metal working area. They had a kiln for pottery and what not. They even had a culinary program and a cafe that served food the students made.

That all sounds so amazing!
The college is closed now, or online only now...
But I should go visit for events like the art gallery when it opens again!
I sort of forget there are things for non students

I enjoyed my time there, I met some really nice people. I met my best friend there, and we met in 2003. We're still friends after all this time too.

That’s amazing! One of my sister’s best friends is someone she met in college. I guess I’m less social though

I'm pretty antisocial as far as people go. I don't always make friends because I'm really shy. We actually met on the last day of the class we were taking at the same time. We talked on MSN for a while and then I found out she was in the same figure drawing class the following semester. We sat together and talked like high school girls. Passing notes and stuff when the teacher wasn't looking lol.

It’s great to find new friends like that!

Then she dropped out of college because she thought her art was dumb (even though she did have an art piece featured in that magazine I mentioned before. It was from a print-making class she took)

And even after I stopped going to the school, we'd still get together and hang out off and on. Only reason we haven't done so, now is because of the BS going on.

I have no siblings. Well, I apparently have a half sister, but I only found out about her within the last couple years, and we've never met. We tried talking a bit through Facebook but I don't go to Facebook enough to keep up a conversation. She reached out to me though, so she found out about me and tried contacting me. She's got a daughter from what I did get information about her from. Other than that, no siblings.

I'm glad your family gets along. My family is best described as a hot mess, without getting to into it lol.
