I need help... BAD...
13 years ago
Well a few helpful folks have sent things for me to look at but no matter what I do I JUST CAN'T DO IT.
I'm almost certain it's the unspoken, unwritten things that I'm missing I don't even know but it's tearing me apart! I've got effects down I sorta know pretty much any technique but I can't make a single fucking one work!
The hell of it is that art is usually my one single outlet against frustration but it's exactly the cause of it right now!
I wanna be even slightly good, I wanna make this work BUT I JUST CAN'T!
And it's not even "don't compare yourself to other artists" because everytime I look my WIPs on their own without anything else in mind I still think "It's shit!"
I really don't wanna give up but I'm really losing the will to keep trying when all I produce is failure. *headdesk*
There's not even any sort of art school nearby and even if there was I'm sure circumstances would make going there impossible because life just loves to get in the way.

I know you want to be a better artist, but continuing to beat yourself up like this isn't healthy.
I can't use other people's advice and help much either. I kind of just have to independently work and see what happens.
Hey - I love your art though. I really do.
You'll draw much better when you realize that art isn't a life or death matter.
Just do your best and accept that as good enough.
