Artist Block (Vent)
9 years ago
General
I'm at a standstill atm and I'm trying to figure out stuff. I feel like I move forward, only to go back. It's like I finally learned a new skill, but now I'm back to where I started. It's like I'm a rubber band and I go farther and farther and then I snap back to where I was. IDK if it's Artist block or I simply don't have motivation, but right now when I try to draw and practice, I end up in tears. I sometimes ask myself "Will I ever be good?" and "Will I ever reach the level of other artists?" I know to practice and keep going. But art has seemed to hurt me a lot. After I started drawing I frequently get depressed. Art has sometimes made me think of quitting. I just feel like I'm no good. "Then why would 103 people watch you?" a friend asked me. I know some of them are people who I watched who watched back to be nice and some watched to get watchers. I know that most watched cause they like my art (at least I hope they do) but I honestly feel like it's like a pitty watch. I'm not paranoid cause someone who watched me and I noted them saying hi, they said, "Look, I watched because you are beginning and I just felt sorry for you." Gosh I want to cry right now but then I would achieve nothing. I sometimes ask "Do I have a place here?" IDK this is all just going on in my head nd I needed to write it out. If you read this then I'm sorry for wasting your time with my shit. I have been told by many people that I have potential... I hope they are right.

Just by drawing you are already leagues ahead of others. Everyone has a learning curve, and some of those that seem to get better fast just had the fortune of finding the style that fit them.
Design a routine for yourself to try and improve in specific areas you lack, and try to get quicker. Given enough time anyone can draw a masterpiece, so get more efficient with your time.
Edit: Try to practice drawing skeletons. This should give you better proportions and shape.
