a little down

Every artist has them. Now, I've go it too. What is it? Depression. I woke up feeling a little down this morning and I didn't know why. I checked my DA and FA accounts and then it hit me. I was working on some art last night and I was feeling like I made some art progress then I looked on DA and all of that feeling went to crap. *sigh* I'll feel better in a little while I guess.... I'll just keep drawing. And if any of you have any tips... please let me know.
OH! I did check my accout this morning and noticed all of your lovely comments. That did make me feel a little better so thank you all!.

I've seen good artist get little to no recognition, and bad artists get 300+ favorits because it's a "jark" drawing, or an "anime" thing, or a "cute goth pedo shit"....
seriously, don't let da make you feel bad.
first off draw from life, if you are gonna draw a character who is sitting, take a picture of someone sitting, or ask someone to pose for you.
use reference whenever you need it, there is nothing wrong with that. Progressively you'll find yourself not needing reference after some time of using it, or at least not needing it as much.
and for last practice a lot.
I hope this helps you, ask me when in doubt :)
