Struggling to improve, and other things.
a year ago
Maybe it's just my perspective but I don't feel I've made all that much progress in the quality of my drawings over the last year or so. I have made some progress on doing them faster but not confident in my own quality progress anymore. This is a problem because I want to do more but I also feel like I have so far to go from where I am and being competent enough to accomplish my goals.
Not sure what I'll be trying to learn and improve, just struck with an overwhelming sense of inadequacy in all things.
Beyond that I have the ever ongoing struggle of dealing with loneliness and failing to meet new people. I enjoy talking to people about art and hobbies and love rp but for whatever reason always fail to connect with people or in other instances run into people that just make me to anxious to be around. In part because I know even if I am fairly stable I remain emotionally frail so people who are too pushy over anything tend to cause me to get anxious over being used and just sort of shut down.
Either way, just a sort of downer update about how I'm fine and I know I'm a screw up.

You should try to stick your nose out more often though. I even have a murderporn server on Discord that mostly isn't the worst. Mostly. I'm also very dead these days, if anything send me a note if you've got a Discord and I can say hi. Not much of an RP person but I can talk ideas and cool artwork basically whenever :)
As for artwork, I've got a few immediate thoughts that come to mind after a quick look:
-More environments to frame and contextualize works
-Perhaps look into more dynamic poses, sequences, stuff like that
-Deffo take another swing at maybe picking up digital art programs, that can help a lot with adding colour to your work too, or developing a dynamic monochrome method.
Just know that you've got fans of your work out here. Even fellow screw ups like me. heh.
I am glad people do like my drawings though.
But yes, I do quite like your drawings. Always have. I like your style a lot.
I know what it's like to be anxious when meeting new people. It can take a while to really make a connection with someone but it won't happen if you don't put yourself out there.
