my wife lotus has improved so much since iv known her since i was like 9/10 years old haha and loved her since
but she put everything into her art peace and hates it when she thinks shes failed the commissioner (which is never true) my wife redoes everything even when not asked to 1000 times over and over again because she wants the commissioners aka fur fam <3
the love she has for art is unreal i hate seeing her give up because art is her home her talent her passion her drive
ik her anatomy and art on paper is not the best as others or on point every time but practice makes perfect and i tell her that her knowledge is unreal on the color charts and well just by eye all and everything else and i tell her every day apply the knowledge but the depression is stopping her so please help
also she need to learn that perfection is not real you can alway improve and learn more even the best artists <3

Whenever you post your art ...Or show it off from your sketchbook, or sell your art in prints etc etc!
Remember, that no matter the quality, no matter the time or effort put into it, no matter whether you love or hate it.
You have contributed a part of yourself to the world and made a difference, you have made a change to the world no matter how small <3
If you ever need help with your art or whatever, just hit me up and I'll do my best!
But here is some of my earlier art: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7819164/ - This was 5 years ago, I had NO IDEA what I was doing and was just trying out random things, I hated my art so much.
Here's another example NSFW: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7645812/
Then there was a year-ish later NSFW: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10339677/

And now this! http://www.furaffinity.net/view/23251975/
It's took me a long time of practice, practice, but I feel like it was worth it.
Don't give up!! <3 I couldn't even do backgrounds like you are back then lol
SO. FIRST AF ALL. YOUR ART IS FUCKING AWESOME MKAY? You've made a ridiculous amount of improvement since the first time we've hung out!
I appreciate and adore how much detail and effort is put into every piece you make. None if it is half-assed. I can see that you pour your soul into these pieces. Even the backgrounds which I admittedly am scared of doing. I mean look at this: http://www.furaffinity.net/full/17162362/ your attention to the background is amazing and you clearly have done some research on working with digital media and how you artists do that is beyond me because I suck at digital stuff haha
I also see you use colors and tones to set the mood like in this piece: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17075802/ it looks so comforting and fun. Like, I can put myself in that picture. It makes me feel something. And if that isn't art then idk what is.
All the hard work you put in, whether you realize it or not really shows.
And I know that your anatomy isn't like wolfy-nail's(and fuck him for getting it so on point every time ugh) but take any artist who does something good and remember that they started somewhere. I wish I had my old art to show you how terrible it was. It was bad. Like. Everything about it. I would draw this one particular picture almost every day in grade school...it was a unicorn made out of squares and was maybe 2"x2" in the bottom right hand corner of the page and it's horn would be about 7" long reaching the top left hand corner haha I put about 10 of these on the fridge. I also decided one day to push my boundaries and color it. It came out like diarrhea. Literally. Like brown, green and yellow.
And I understand that depression is a bitch and makes none of this seem worth it. I understand that every person in the fandom could pass you compliments and still you may not find the motivation. I get depression. I get that even if you try every day and practice that you still won't feel satisfied. but you're not stuck in this forever. Try to practice every day. Even if it's a doodle, even if it's not furry-related. The only thing practicing every day will do, it make you better at what you do. Not to mention that art is an excellent coping skill and some of the strongest pieces I've seen were influenced by negative emotions/experiences.
I mean shit. I got a vehicle that's running(for now) and maybe we could art jam together some time. I've been wanting to meet up with more artists to art and fart with. I'll also gladly let you use any of my tools and teach you anything I know. I know mostly traditional media, but I have a few tricks up my sleeves.
I hope that you're able to pull through this slump quickly <3 You got all of us and your hubby by your side. We all support you even when it gets rough.
To your wonderful wife I say this: Please come back. I miss you and seeing your wonderful art on here so much.
You're a wonderful artist, person and friend. Your style is extremely unique and wonderful.
I wish you all the best and I really hope that you get your inspiration to art again soon. You're very much missed on here.
I really hope to see you again on here LotusPup. All of your friends are always right there beside you in spirit.
