I draw for a few reasons:
One to practice and get to the level of Magic the Gathering Art. >:D One day I want to go there! (As in the company, not go inside Zendikar or there magical world. lol.)
Two there are a lot of people out there who want there fursona to look cool! But simply lack the skill to do it, especially if they want to work on something else and become something like a coder. So that's where I come in and do my magic!
Three, it calms me down as much as writing does. So drawing basically takes my mind off of things.

My name is Ori.

I am totally not trying to impersonate Edward Scissorhands. Who is that anyway?
Also I am humming this is Halloween.
Also John Cena Memes don't die. (John Cena theme blares in background)

Why do I draw? Hmm...


I'd say I draw just for the sake of it, but I'd also say there's a lot of pride involved, specifically when someone I know compliments me on my art. It's also for the learning experience, I guess. I've never had a real art class before, so basically everything I've learned has been from anime or books and throughout the years I've been drawing I've improved a lot. The experience of watching my progression has really encouraged me to continue and continues to encourage me.


However, I have a tendency to be extremely hard on my own art. Interpret that as a good thing or a bad thing, it helps me remember my mistakes and improve just a little bit the next time I draw something similar.

I think mostly I draw because I can't NOT draw. And I've tried! There's something in me that just has to get out, whether in the form of drawing, painting, calligraphy, or writing. The medium is less important than doing something. If I haven't done anything creative in a few days I get antsy and obsessive.


I want to make art for a living, but even if I never get their, I'll always be drawing.

Been away for a while and reading the responses made me quite happy, I'm glad everyone has their own reasons and ways to express themselves, cool!

@John Red Beard: Exactly the same here. I have tried, multiple times. In the end I've learned to always carry some A4 paper with me or a small drawing book in my backpack when I travel or go out. That way I can always draw if I feel the 'urge' XD
