DONT READ IF YOU DONT WANT TO SEE ME COMPLAIN
I KNOW I KNOW
Im just going through that I hate my art phase
But seriously, I look at my better art from like, july last year and its so much better than my art now. I lack inspiration, my progress is slowing and my skill is actually decreasing in my eyes.
Ugh, I miss the feeling of pride that I used to get after comparing 3 months work and seeing the GOOD difference.
Now there's a bad difference, and to be honest it upsets me, it makes me want to stop drawing and its just awful because I never want to do that :/
JUST UGGHHHH FFS
I HAVE AN ART BLOCK GUYS
So basically I'm going to force myself to draw
Might not upload them in case they look s h o c k i n g but some might make it
I tend to stress with backgrounds though:c
I liked your art and I still do, a lot^^. I don't see any decrease in your progress, but well I am not an artist and probably I am not able to serve as a rule. (<- I hope this made sense, translation ya know... not my forte...)
Long Story's short: Personally I'd say it would be a shame if you ever would think of quitting to draw (and to do so)...
Also how have I not watched you yet?!
Your artwork is amazing to me. You have not made any piece which I wasn't impressed with.
I used to have that problem where my art was getting worse rather than better, but for me it was because I was just practicing the wrong way so to speak? I was making bad mistakes and repeating them, and I didn't even realize it. Turned out it was because too much of my "inspiration" came from other artists, and any mistakes they made I was making the same ones as well. Not saying it's bad to get inspiration from other artists, but sometimes it can get so bad to the point where you're living in the other ones shadow.
When that kind of stuff happens I say it's just best to go back to the basics, like tutorials and drawing straight from life.
and nothing else, they are relaxing and good for the fingers.
