Lack of passion

Just sorta a little vent, so you don't have to read this. But I appreciate it if you did.
I've been feeling kinda mixed about my artwork lately. I'm proud of how far I've come, but at the same time... I tend to feel like my art... Doesn't appeal to most anymore including myself... Like, they say it's cute, or nice, or anything else in particular, yet I feel like it's a little forced in a way. Now I'm not calling anyone a liar or pointing fingers, don't get me wrong. I appreciate even the smallest of comments. That's just a feeling I've been having.
But anyway, I believe what I'm truly lacking the most, is not ideas, and not motivation, but passion. I draw, and I enjoy it, but at the same time... I just don't enjoy it like I used to. Even though I've been drawing and posting, it never felt the same... I also sometimes wish I was a better talker with all the sudden stops I've been having with some who I attempt to talk to.
But anyway... All in all, I'm grateful for how far I've come. All the friends I've made (even if some haven't been talking to me all that much nowadays), and how far I've come since the beginning. Who knows, maybe something life changing might happen in the future. But other than that, I hope you guys have a nice day. And please... Don't consider this journal as a way to grab attention.

I’m really sorry to hear that you haven’t been enjoying the art that you have done. I hope you have felt genuineness from me as I really really love your art. It has really been a highlight to see. But, I’ve also had struggles with that. With both writing and art. Some days I want to and other days it feels like a chore. But I think you do have a lot of passion, just struggle applying it to these things. But, you are a great person and you will do great things. Big things await you! Feel free to talk to me, as we have contact with each other. I really appreciate you man and you should never feel alone. Keep your head up!

I know how you feel. I also sometimes feel like I’m not enjoying making art like I used to. I used to feel like I made art with passion, but now I sometimes feel that I’m making art just for the sake of making it. I do understand your feelings.

I hope so too. And yeah, that's the thing. I try to be consistent, but it's just not enough sometimes.

We all come sometimes to an art block where we think what we create is not enough. But no worries, I can tell you that all your art is great and I'll happily follow it more ^^

Might just be a lurker but I mean I think your art is still very nice! Your recent Sledge bro was pretty cool actually! Though might be a smidge biased being a Koopa lol. Still, I enjoy it! But I mean always take a break if you need it. I feel the same with my writing in general. It's hard to bring myself to do it, but every so often I gain inspiration and go at it again.

I don't think I need a break with how little I draw. But I really appreciate it man. And yeah, same here with my pics. I really hope writing is going okay for you at least

Same for when I draw. Sometimes when I start, I immediately lose interest and stop, leaving the idea to die.

I understand how you feel , I wish you to be happy . IHopefully your passion comes back one daybut don't force it . It's ok to not have motivation to draw , I myself don't draw often , at least anthro-art wise on here , but drawing what I love the most is what keeps me happy. Find what you truly love and don't give up !
