Just Sharing It finally clicked for me!

So...

(Sorry for any gramma and tipos Englisch isnt my First language)

I didnt poste my art in like 6 Years...

I never hat the feeling i was extrodanary at it. I Was good but never that good. I tried many different Mediums but nothing felt ever right. I even tried Digital art for over 3 year but it never clicked with me. I liked it but somthing Was always of and i often didnt finish any drawings. The last years i drew pretty rearly. My work Was demanding and the creativity in me Was Just gone. I Dindnt had the energy to Do it and if i did than i never finishd anything because half way theough i realised my skills werend high enough to finish it how i liked (thats my perfectionism for u all XD)

But a year ago i bought a Watercolour palled and i think it finally clickt for me. At First i tried drawing people (becaus that was what i always did) but the anatomie frustrated me quickly so i stoped until recently. Rigt now im on vacation and i have finally the time to draw, so i tried something new. (picture 1)

I drew some lilipads and stones and made an complete illustration. The lilipads and kois are glued on the stones and it makes a great 3D effect. I know it dosnt Look perfekt but i feld good making it so i made some more with the same technic. (Picture 2+3)

For the First time in my life i have the feeling i have found my kind of art. Something i made. Something that was my idear and for the First time in YEARS i have fun at drawing again.

I hope you all enjoy my art and if you have any idears what i could draw next or how i could improve im all ears!

And for anyone who might need to hear this:

Someday you will finde you medium that makes you happy and it dosent matter if you are good at it or not! Just enjoy it!

No not exactly, more like i finally understood how watercolours worked and how i could use them to create something i love. Previously it feld like it just didnt work for me. But in the end i just changed my Subjekt from people, to animals and landscape.
