Do you guys have "expensive art supply anxiety"?

I've spent enough money on fancy art supplies that have sat unused in my cupboard to buy a new tablet like three times over.

I sometimes have panic attacks when looking specialty papers now :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes:

So this was my attempt at shapes that I avoided posting last week. This was not my first attempt . I drew the mummy because I was frustrated with the shapes, and that seemed to come more naturally. I really struggle to draw circles as you can see by all the attempts, and I find the other shapes almost as difficult for some reason. Something just goes wonky every time I attempt a geometric shape. The hatch marks are just as big of a problem. I feel much more comfortable with organic shapes and objects that I feel I understand. Going to keep plugging away.

@Erin-Cortese Shapes. Are. Hard.

Shapes are hard.

But they're also the kinds of things that you don't notice getting better until they're better. So it's gonna be awful and frustrating until it's all over until you what I mean

@Braden-Hallett Thank you!! I thought it was just me. I felt like it was just some strange quark I had. For whatever reason I felt like shapes should be the easiest thing to work with. Again, me and my expectations, lol.

@Erin-Cortese I've also had real problems with circles but one thing that helped me was a suggestion on the Figure Drawing video: lock your elbow and wrist and start drawing circles in the air just above the paper, do a couple of air circles, and then without stopping move your pen onto the paper and draw the circle. I'm still not great but when I do that, it works better.

@demotlj I have been locking my elbow, but I forgot about starting them in the air.Thank you!
