That moment when you realize your art is not that good :(
I see amazing artists out there,and many of my friends, who can draw some of the most amazing things without really trying, I see them draw, line and color something completely amazing in the time it takes me to pull together the same thing I have done over and over again.
I can never get my art to that point where I like it. I like the individual pics I do sometimes but then I step back and give it a few days and see my art is really shitty. I am not saying my art is bad and I am not saying my art is not improving but it sometimes bums me out seeing artists who are just amazing at what they do and can work on so any mediums with little to know issue while I struggle to keep my pics consistent.
end of rant, sorry
And there have been times that I feel the same way.
But really, reminding yourself about how far you have come from the beginning helps a lot.
Helps me anyways.
When you feel your art isn't up to par, try experimenting.
Try new things, new subjects, new techniques :)
It's a good breath of fresh air! Sometimes doing the same thing time and time again just gives you too much time to nit pick at the stuff you don't like :P
Don't let yourself fall out of love with your hobby. ♥
It'll happen. You're a good artist, and you'll catch up :)
I always use you as an example for guys I know who are trying to start drawing and need encouragement- because either way, of anyone I've met I think you've made incredible progress over the time I've known you!
The feeling never really goes away though. I have been taking drawing seriously for almost 20 years now so when I see someone younger than that just churning out piles of amazeballs artwork in the time it takes me to poop out one basic crap it makes me want to fuckitall x.x Just gotta take a deep breath and remember why you started drawing in the first place :3
