I want to but cant

I want to draw and wanna learn how to make little animations But the thing is I hate the way I draw I want to improve but it's hard the only thing I've really drawn is stick figures but my friends who are all talented in drawing and so that made me wanna be an animator but I was think how the hell am I ganja make an animation when every program I find my computer won't work with it but I was thinking maybe it's that I'm just retarded I'm still wonder if I want to make cartoons like during class I'll get an idea then when I try to make a comic about it I just can't continue because I just hate the way my drawing looks I also been into a little bit of written art like writing stories and junk I get a whole plot into my head and I wanna use it but I feel stupid writing it

I really don't know what I wanna do but I love being creative but I have no way to express it
I fell like my creativity is being wasted

The only thing I really do is rp with my best friend but that's it
All I really want is to know what I want to do

    PRACTICE!!!!

    There is not. 1..2..3 you can draw! secret out there. When I was in 6th grade I wanted to get better at drawing. So do you know what I did? I practiced, and practiced, and practiced. I drew on the back of tests, I filled up dozens of sketch books. I drew, painted, practiced things I wasn't good at to get better.

    Now I'm a Senior in high school and am hoping to be a tattoo artist one day.

    It's not something that you can just do now and then and just become good at it. You have to work at it.

    Don't do it just because you want to be like your friends, do it if YOU want to be an artist.

    Like every one on top except the first lesson is to draw what u see and start with an object cylinder shape cuebical shape then go on to draw peopel in magazine pused movie or real life just observe them and remamber the shapes you have been practicing on will help u balance your drawing lastley your going to do is Abstraction this my friend is what make the animator/comic artist or any type of artist uniqe with his/her style of drawing
    My last advice for the three steps is to draw draw draw draw draw and ...die drawing becuase there is no perfect artist just great or ginues or clever artist...

    Practice is the key. There's no artist who is born with immediate greatness. Everybody undergoes practice and experience in order to improve themselves so as long as you practice and have the confidence, I'm sure you'll make it. :)

    Practice drawing 3D shapes at different angles, learn to recognize those shapes in nature, draw from life, copy others' styles/works (only trace if you absolutely must),draw what YOU like, ENJOY DOING IT. If you're only doing it to fit in with friends or be like someone else then you're never going to realize your own potential. I do believe, however, that anyone can learn to draw, but it takes a lifetime of practice. So in the end it's only worth doing if you actually get a sense of personal satisfaction from it.

    I am the same way. Because ur not a natural you need to take art lessons. It helps you understand the basics. Something you clearly dont have down. This also let's you meet people similar too u. And let's you compare your improvements. Plus art classes allow you create different things and thus help you find a hidden talent. For example I'm ok at drawing but I found I can sculpt art very well.

    Every artist/someone who is creative has blockades at the start because you don't have your own way of solving problems yet,but how I do it is, you just take someone as inspiration/ideal and try to understand what he/she did and try to take on your own style, don't give up before you even really tried,think of all the great musicians who had a tough start as well as anybody,they worked their asses off and it's only later no one will notice and jus say man U're AMazin

    From what I can tell you want be good at drawing, like your friends, so you're forcing it on yourself. This probably isn't very good for your selfesteem since drawing may not be your strong suit. Or maybe it is, maybe you just need practice. Either way, you need to think about what it is that you want to do, what makes you happy. What I'm trying to say is don't do it for your friends. Do it for yourself.
