So I've been thinking for a while and I've been having trouble with art in 2016 that I want to try to improve in 2017. Lately towards the end of this year I've been feeling kinda burned out, art feels more like a chore, I'm not enjoying it like I used to. I'm not happy with how my art is currently. My problem is that I compare myself too much to others and I fail to see the good aspects about my own work, I constantly criticize myself and my standards for myself are too high. So when I draw something and it doesn't meet those standards, I get frustrated and depressed.

My goal for 2017 is to improve how I see myself, I want to be more confident in my own skills and not have to worry about how other people draw. I want to like my own art enough to be confident in what I do, but not in a way that I don't want to keep improving it. So for now I'm taking a break from FA and art for a while. I want to take a short break from drawing for now, and then just practice on my own, at my own pace without coming here just to put myself down and say my own art is crap.

So I'll be on hiatus for a while, happy new year everybody.
