We don't know eachother very well, but please listen. I know sometimes life is tough and art can be too . Artistic creativity can be there one day and not the next. Honestly you have grown with your art skills from the first time I saw your page. Your art is amazing despite what others may think. I think we both share a common issue. We get stuck on one species and don't feel like drawinf anything else (please correct me if I'm wrong ☹️). I know how hard it is to hear "draw something else". BUT do what makes YOU happy! It doesn't matter what others may think of your art. I mean, I don't like mine at all if I'm being honest with you. But I strive each day to become better, but in my own way. You see if art is the reason you are so down. Then take a step back and take a break from it. Art in general is tough. It can hurt you even when you don't think "art" can. I've seen what my best friend has said to you throughout. He is right most of the time.. But please. Don't lose hope in whatever you are struggling with. This might just be words, but they are words from a person who cares about you. I love your art, I think it's fantastic.. The way you draw eyes and expressions is outstanding. Please, stay with us all. You are a very talented person❤️
The issue isn't really art, it's what's behind the curtain of this...whatever it is, yet I've dealt with those demons for a long time and I've promised myself If it ever really comes down to life or death I'll get in my car and drive until I find a place to start over (classic Mariak, by the way). Sometimes, when I'm drunk, I think about a darker road...yet not so strangely alcohol releases caged things be they monsters or angels, and overwhelmingly I get this sense I should carry on. If not for me then for what I could help the world to be with altruism and with kindness and with care in my own small way.
I used to have a friend who talked like I do, and I told him much the same. I hope he took it to heart.
