Well if it weren't for your drawing or writing I'd have not been able to "get off" or even come to terms with my ABDL side ^^ thank you for doing so good sir

I'm glad of that.. If there's one thing I like to think my art has done its help people understand ageplayers and Abdl and all that stuff.. I dunoo if it was always successful, but I think it's helped.

It can never always be successful but you get as close as human/fuurrily possible

Ah, I'm in the mood with my drawings... but for me it never seems to go away. D:

Ah, but your fine. Just keep at it.

You don´t have to be good like other artist..ther are a lot artist ther are much better than you..its stupid too try to get good as them . you are also a good artist it be as good as another one is stupid just draw like thay way you do you will be better with every drawing but that nor a reasyon to be Depressi . keep it up you will see you will get better with every picture.

and now rise your head and be proud of your self.

Your art is loved because it's YOUR art, Cargo. We love it because we love /you/. :3

Your art is still the best! *hugs the weasel*

Just keep at it! ^^

I know the feeling. But, if you keep telling yourself you can't do something, you never will no matter what it is. Look at my art sometime. My current skills are so basic and highly limited. I still have trouble with anatomy, shading, angles, etc. I look around, and I see some pretty amazing artists around here. Some of which even have their own webcomics. And I envy them. Mainly because the difference between me and them is that they have the ability to draw and give life to their characters and ideas exactly how they imagine them. Whatever it is they envision, they can bring it to life on paper. I have so many ideas, but I lack the ability to draw them the way I see them in my mind. It's easy to get depressed over that.
That's actually one of the reasons I got into writing stories. Because I don't have to draw what I'm seeing in my mind in order to give it life, you know?
All you can do is practice. Learn new techniques and practice at your own pace. A lot of people online actually make tutorials on how to draw things in certain styles or how to draw things like arms and legs, car, creatures, scenery, even diapers. You'd be surprised what you'll find. Also, they make art books that show you how draw different things. They even have books on how to draw comics and cartoons. But, just because you have the illustrated instructions in front of you doesn't automatically make you a master at it. You need to use those tutorials and practice. It's a lot easier said than done, but not impossible. I have like 5 different "how to draw manga" books, and I still can't get the style quite right yet. look at how I draw hands sometime XD. But I'm working at my own pace, and I'm slowly improving.
My point is this; you just need to keep practicing. No one just magically becomes an uber-awesome artist. Being able to draw the way we want to is something that we need to earn, and the only way to do that is to keep working at it. Consider talking with friends and ask about the tricks they use to draw:). Swap ideas with other artists, or even take a class:). There are endless ways to improve, You just need to do it however it is that works for you. You'll see. You just gotta keep at it:).

Sorry that was kind of long. I feel like that a lot, so I wanted to try and offer whatever advice I could is all.

I was in the exact same funk just now with my writing. Just moments ago I was telling myself "You suck a this. Why do you even bother? There are so many other better writers why would anyone waste time with your crap." I'm fairly sure I was 5 minutes from going to all sites I've posted on and taking everything down. But then I remembered some things from the last time I was hit with writer's block. I remembered why I started writing in the first place; I wanted to entertain. I wanted to put something out there for others to see and give them something to enjoy. Sure, I'm no master but the fact that no one, aside from myself, has ever told me I suck and should stop writing should say something. I love your art, even if I'm not the most vocal about it.

Second; I remembered that an artist/author is their own worst enemy. I lost count of how many times I've brain stormed and shut myself down by saying 'That's stupid.' Don't be overly critical of yourself. If you keep comparing yourself to other artist this'll just get worse and worse, trust me on that. You're a great artist, LEAGUES better than me and many others I've seen around the site and I'm sure plenty of your watchers will agree with me there. Don't try to be the best, you don't have to be, no ones competeing here. You have fans (1775 according to your userpage) don't forget that. How many times has someone commented 'keep up the good work' or words to that effect?

....I can't think of any more profound-y stuff to say so I'll just end there. I hope this helps even a little bit. Best of luck cargo *hugs*

I run into that problem when I start reading fic that other people have written. Particularly, these days, it seems like my characters have no real depth to them, no emotion. Perhaps it's because I'm pretty flat emotionally IRL, I don't have a lot of depth myself to draw upon, so all my written characters feel wooden compared to the things I read in other people's stories.

I will say that your artwork, while not perfect, is still superb and a worthy addition to everything. Your writing, too. It's a unique style, a little cartoony, and a lot of fun. I don't have much more than that, I'm just...commiserating, I suppose. But still. <3 woozle.

On a related note, I am still immensely impressed with the courage that you show every time you write or draw something kinky. I still turn in knots at that sort of thing, perhaps illogically so, but you definitely have a gift in that you're brave enough to put that stuff out there. The super kinky stuff that I produce, as you well know, I'm afraid to publish in any realm. So, uh, good on you. :)

Yeah I keep urging you to post it!!! :3

And I continue to be scared out of my wits. c.c;

For whatever it's worth, I adooooore your drawings. Part of it is that I find them hot, of course, but for me what sets them apart is their sincerity. Nowadays there's plenty of technically masterful ABDL art on Furaffinity, and I certainly respect the skill that must go into it. However, I always have a soft spot for your work. It has this really honest expressive quality that's hard for me to describe. It's like: "Hi! Here are my feelings, here are my fantasies, here is me. Enjoy." And enjoy I do! This kinda harks back to what you were saying about self-disclosure and how satisfying it is. I'd much rather look at art that feels... you know, REAL than something that's beautifully rendered yet lacking the je ne c'est qua of personal investment.

Hope that all makes some degree of sense. And in any case, hope you feel better :)

Thank you! What I want is for the art to be nicely rendered AND have that personal feeling. :3 I'm working on it!

Oh, and just to clarify - I think your work is quite nicely rendered. You have room to grow, sure, but I've worked with professional artists who aren't where you're at now in terms of technique. Plus your recent stuff keeps looking better and better to me, so obviously you're doing something right.

Makes me want to try to get back into the drawing habit myself... if I can ever get off my lazy butt :)

*hugs* We can only be who and what we are, right now, as we are those things. We grow steadily and become more, but even while we are growing, we are what we are at any given point in that phase. we are not more we are not less. But we can always become more ^_^ Just keep working at it, knowing that you will always have us to support you!

You are allowed to and you should start with giving some to yourself. The sketches you like are good because they mke you feel good. The sketches you don't feel so happy with, look at them for what they are, practice and learning and you can feel good about what you learn too, don't you?
In life, we tend to remain in situations that re less than pleasant or fulfilling for all kinds of reasons. There are points in life when we have to review our dreams and what we want for ourselves and think whether we are still heading in the right direction and plot a new course. You want to draw comics. Go for it. If you can't make a living from it, pursue a career that leads to financial freedom. What will be the first small step you're going to take?

Time you enjoy wasting has not been wasted.

Ah that's something a lot of people go through. Me I'm in one of my lil dry spells were some days I just won't get anything sketched at all. So yeah least your still able to sketch daily. ^^

Besides you've got some great art here and I'll say this your one of my favorite artist and writers. Seeing something of yours usually gets me smiling, provides a bit of fap material, and also tends to get me thinking and provide some inspiration. So don't sell yourself short.

Nobody else can represent your vision like you can , so if you were to stop your vision, the universe that exists inside your head, would never have a chance to be exposed to others and inspire others. :)

can definitely relate. am scared to even post pictures of my work online cause I am certain it could be so much better than it currently is. Need to try and get in that habit though. That and trying to do a little every day

Thanks all for your kind words, I feel better. :3

Try reading some Jeffrey Brown!

Also, I like your drawings. They taught me the word "splorch".

I have totally reached the high point in my career too! I am pretty happy with coasting from here. :) I think I have risen as high as my personality/preferences allow, and that is fine. At least you are in management, you still have room to grow!

Your art isn't perfect, of course not. Nobody's art is. Look at any pro hard enough and you'll see the mistakes. But you're still way better than I'll ever be, and I'm not bad! So chin the fuck up, Mr. Awesomepants! You're a good artist.
