Why is being an artist so hard.

Day after day I endlessly scroll through social media and watch people create amazing things with ease. Daily posts, how does this endless inspiration and creativity just flow out of people. While I'm stuck here trying to thing of what to draw.

Being an artist sucks in so many ways. But I know it can be the most rewarding thing.

I just want to make. I'm sick of looking a referencing and feeling like I'm just copying someone else's work.

I like to blame it on my college education. My whole life was art class after art class. Being given an assignment. Thinking of something that would fit and then creating it. Having that outside "prompt" and external motivation crippled me the moment I graduated.

Yes my assignments were original artworks. But they only existed because there was an assignment to fill. Not their art any and my art has come to a halt.

I switched to photography because it's easier. Its instant gratification. I can go out hiking and snap tons of photos and love a lot of them instantly. Then I come home and do a little editing and bam! final piece done. And I'm proud of it. But that doesn't apply to my drawings.

I feel so lazy. I don't want it to take hours to get an idea. Then the sketches. And refinements and then maaaaaybe I'll get started on the final piece(like that would ever happen). I can't remember that last real art project I took on.

God damn modern world and it's deep desires of instant gratification.

Get your lazy ass in gear and use the gifts you were given. Natural talent shouldn't be wasted.

Tumblr revamp

So I've been feeling like it's time to change up my social media usage. My absolute favorite is Instagram. I'm on it more than any other socmeds, however I'm not enjoying it as much as I used to. It's so hard to get followers. And the moment you post something slightly out of the norm. There goes 5 followers. Now there's ads all over the place. You can't seem to succeed on insta anymore unless you pay for your followers. Or add advertisements and pay for your posts to be seen. Tumblr was my first love and I think it's time to come back. This has always been a very supportive community that I want to be a part of again.

I've started a photography challenge as a resolution to become a confident photographer. It's called the Dogwood52 Week Challenge You can find out more online. There's weekly prompts. Here are my favorite shots from weeks 1 and 2. The largest are the two submitted for the final images. Self portrait and Landscape. I'm pretty proud of these images. But would love some CC, always hoping to learn and grow.

I'm sorry followers

I've straight up abandoned you guys. Working full time doesn't allow me to use the soc meds the way I used to. I only really use Facebook and Instagram anymore. I want to work on coming back to tumblr. This is a wonderful place for art and words to collide. However I assume I will be bad at this. And if you want to continue following my work and life. Please follow me on Instagram @morgan_corn You will find plenty of pictures of my cat, daily life, and art

I'm so disappointed in myself.

I’ve totally lost all creative flow. I don’t make anything. I think about how I want to create. But never know where to start. What to draw. It doesnt feel fulfilling since college.

I was so used to making what the assignment needed that I forgot how to just draw for myself.

They say not to force it. But I think that’s the only way I can get into.

But how to you force yourself and still enjoy what you’re doing?
