Ever felt you're doing it wrong? (Tiny rant/vent journal)
13 years ago
Now, truth is, I had been feeling blocked in my art.
This is not having to do about not practicing because jeez, I practice every day, at least three or two drawings A DAY in between commissions if my hands are fast enough.
And I'm currently trying brushes and all the such in SAI, so motives to practice exist.
But, I feel I'm doing it wrong.
I'm more of "learn from what you see" kind of girl. I tend to see my favorite artists and learn from how they treat their art to see how can I improve mine.
And lately, I feel that I'm stuck with my own style.
Even though I love my own style, I'm afraid people find it "unprofessional" or "not interesting" in comparison to other artists.
I believe that people should have unique styles, and that they should build it from scratch based on what they like. And I'm noticing I'm not doing what I preach. I feel like I'm stuck and that I'm not learning at all.
I have a very unique style (I realize this, and I don't know if its good or bad), and it seems its just...sticking with being unique, and not growing.
I'm working on everything as much as I can, but I feel SO stuck that I really don't know what I will do after the commissions I have in Queue.
Just, you know...artists having feelings. How dare they? They should draw more and more art. LOL

I really want the money to commission you, REALLY REALLY T_T I know 4 things I want from you! (I hope to get funding after christmas/when uni/student finance/work decides to pay me in january)
Create a "through the year" image showing a piece from each month, you should see the improvements.
And oh, you flatter me
And I followed your advice, and made a summary of art D: I'm still not sure how to feel...
Just clear your mind and... don't worry be happy
Good luck, though. I know it can be super frustrating.
