do what ?

Do commissions?

Everything.

Art can be stressful, it's ok to take a break but it's definitely worth coming back to it, you have a lot of fans who love your work, hope you are ok.

The last few days have told me that I'm nowhere near skilled enough to showcase my work on here. All I draw are tigers, all I use is pencil, and it's all shit. I've tried diversifying but it hasn't been successful at all. I've had enough of doing yet another thing I just can't be good at. I'm mediocre enough at everything else. I just want to be good at something.

I love your art and just look at all these comments, everyone does! Sure you may be in a little personal rut with your art but you will break out of it before you know it ^^

I agree. Tene, your art and style looks fantastic and unique.

Absolutely, I think you should take something like a short hiatus from FA and commissions and just draw what you want when you want, it could really help.

What? No man I think you are very good and would so commission you if you had them open. Just got to stick to what you do and keep at it, you can only get better *hugs*

I love your tigers, and I love your traditional pencil work, Tene. You're definitely not mediocre. You can draw one heckuva lot better than I could ever hope to.

What's got you down?

Specifically, everything.

I feel your pain bro this Siri thing happens

Just take a step back, I myself know how much it hurts when you try to draw and it really stresses you out. Take it a little bit at a time and a breather can get you back into the mood.

hugs you until you feel better, no matter how long it takes

I think your art is stunning, I don't say it enough. But I wish I had the time and the patience to sit down and colour the way you do traditionally. Just have a bit of faith in yourself, if you ever need a break, put the utensils down and take a breather. We'll all be here for you when you come back! If you ever need to talk or just vent, i'm always around. (I'm house-bound most of my time now due to leg + back pain.)

Just kick everything in the butt. Square in the butt. Perhaps, in the tailbone! (Trust me, that hurts, haha)

Just doodle, vent, try something to become unstuck!

*nuzzles gently* Yes you can just take your time and don't push yourself too hard.

Whatever it is that's blocking your way, I know you can find your way out and overcome it. You have fantastic artwork, and many who loves it.

Don't give up Tene, you always motivate others but you need to have more belief in yourself and your own abilities, just look at the comments above, people do appreciate you and your art and for damn good reason! it is truely awesome stuff!

Dude, don't give up on what you believe in. You're an awesome pencil artist who draws some of the coolest butts and roundness I've seen in a long time!
