That's Rough, Buddy
9 years ago
Got an anonymous submission a couple weeks ago that basically told me that I suck at anthro art and am mediocre and should try and reach my real potential.
I've been feeling paranoid about it for the duration since. It's really painful being told, even by someone trying to be polite as the anon was, that your art isn't as good as you think it is. It's hard and destroys your self confidence.
But I've been trying to refine my shaky style of drawing furries since then. I think I've got a method of drawing faces- specifically muzzles, my weak point- that is the perfect blend of toony and identifiable. I hope. So I'll be practicing on and off when I'm off work, these next couple weeks. I don't have a lot of time off coming up, but it's better than nothing!
Speaking of, I really don't have a lot of time these next few weeks, so if I don't immediately respond to something you ask me or say, I really apologise. I'm trying, but I'm just wiped out and inattentive because of my day job. But! it's money, so I can't complain.
