I always wonder if other artists "treat" art differently.
I for one, actually hate art 60% fo the time. I am a perfectionist so I am never satisfied and always procrastinate.
But I can't stop because art is what I've been doing all my life, so love it at the same time! It's like part of my soul coming out c:
Hence love-hate relationship, haha.
So how do you feel about art?

I can say I feel like that sometimes. Maybe I don't hate art that much of the time though wink
I used to get really frustrated when I wanted to make something but could just not get myself to start it up. I think that is always the hardest thing for me. But with schoolwork and etc I have learned how to plan better and working on something that has a good structured idea is always going to feel better for me in the end.
I'm always going to be my worst critic, but sometimes I just ask myself some questions about what I am doing- What is the work for? Is it at least conveying what I want or working at a practical level? One of my problems I have had too is overworking on something - I used to erase and redraw so much my teacher exploded on me one class haha. She told me it would have looked fine if I had just left it the first time - its necessary to plan but when it comes to the final stage, it's best to just slow down and try to get it right the first time.
I love art and I think it will always have to be part of my life. I'm not sure what I am going to do with my degree but the future is always open.

Yeah, I am taking an art course this year that will hopefully teach me to plan better. I always have an idea then draw something totally different o_O Like the other day I wanted to draw a tiny dainty fairy ballerina-esque. I ended up drawing an apache warrior one instead O____________O And I overwork stuff too gonk @Tiara: I agree with everything you just said. Haha whee

Its 50/50 for me. I either love it or I hate it. If I don't like and its unfixable, I throw it out and start from scratch. If I like it, than I just .. like it? o.o;;
But what I hate is when I stay up late all night drawing and wake up the next day in the afternoon. Working in the day is hard for me, but I usually find some way to work around that.

We go have tea every Monday at a brit's place and we have sleep overs every two weeks.
For a real answer; most of the time I hate ( some pieces of) art not because it's badly drawn or anything but just for the super 'hype' it gets.
As for mine , well I usually take it as if it were part of me , a trace of myself in this world , so I take it as my life , I guess. Every time they throw my sketches folder to the garbage, ( trust me , they do a lot) well,it's like a part of me is gone.
So basically ; it's a love/hate relationship cool

I'm in love with art. Everything to me is art from the way the leaves blow in the wind to the biggest statue. Art is everywhere. It's beautiful it's romantic it's tragedy, it's love.

To me art is everything.
Its like music its rhythm flows through your hand with every stroke, creating something new you expresses every beat and sound with colors of different notes creating something new.

It's a war. XD First, the struggle with myself to get a decent idea, find good references for anatomy and things, and hell, to find the motivation to get started. Then, the battle to force what I have inside my head into a visual format and still look even somewhat like I'd imagine it. And not least of all the battle with technology, since my art's pretty much 100% digital lately and my tablet and photoshop never wants to cooperate. This is usually the most intense fight, involves throwing around expletives and such.. surprisingly enough, insulting or threatening my tablet seems to make it work. And throughout the entire process, the battle between motivation and laziness.
I think this makes things interesting, though. Combined with the stompy industrial music I listen to constantly while drawing, could very well contribute to the sort of sketchy aggressive angular thing I usually end up with. And I do like that.
...And is sort of fun. XD
Been in a major art block for months now, if not a year or more.. but I'm finally remembering that I draw because I enjoy it.
EDIT: wtf, why is my post showing up as the first in the thread. Haven't they fixed that glitch yet? X_X

I like art a lot. I love to critique it, love to create, love to look at it... etc. But it is also extremely frustrating. Particularly if the piece I'm working on or want to work on just isn't going well. I have issues both with the concept as well as the execution of the piece. When I actually make something I'm happy with or show improvement, though, then I feel like it's all worth it. I don't really draw for the end result, but admittedly, sometimes the process itself is tiresome. I do going into a sort of "art mode" or trance, though, which can be fun. XD Super duper concentration and any distractions will not be tolerated. I'm usually tired and grumpy afterward, though, so go figure.

Love/hate, definitely. Lately I've found myself hating more than loving. I can't imagine living without it- but certain pressures in my life recently have caused me to become more afraid when creating drawings, and I think that fear shows with a certain constraint and lack of love in my drawings as of late.
I've forgotten what it's like to draw without worrying about the end result- just drawing for the love it and falling into "the zone" all night long, forgetting that you're even listening to music because you're so into the art...
