I will be taking a short art hiatus.

Lately all I've felt when drawing is frustration. Frustration because I see no improvement, frustration because my characters look flat (even when it's just line art) and frustration because I can't seem to draw realistically however much I try. After a year of art study it doesn't feel like I have improved all that much, and it bothers me to the point that I've gone back on my art. Especially shading, gradual shading, not cell-shaded, bugs me so much because I can't get proper gradients.
Not only that, but I feel like the past few months I have alienated from my friends. My friends have always been my inspiration for art, whether they knew it or not. And since I have grown my reclusive I feel my sources of inspiration have depleted.

This does not mean I'll stop drawing all-together or disappear. I'm just not posting while I try to climb back up to the point I feel comfortable with my art again.
