I used to be a competent 'artist' too. By that I mean I always always above average at drawing but really cared about it, which I guess made me good as opposed to somebody with the talent but not the interest or motivation.

But then even with drawing it was the same.. I remember being in art class and getting frustrated with the mediocraty of the lessons and most of the time was just allowed to do whatever the hell I wanted, because then at least i'd put effort in to it. So instead of it being a lesson it was just an alloted time for me to be creative, and I used to become so engrosed in whatever I was drawing or sketching or painting at the time. I'd get a quarter of the way done, and it would be a good quarter, but then i'd get an idea for something else and would move on to that without even finishing the first thing I was doing.
