Quitting art, possibly permanently.
5 months ago
This might come as a bit of a shock to some people if they don't know me, but I'm now at the point where several factors combined have led me to feel that even the thought of drawing anything is not gonna be fun at all anymore.
To put it simply, I just feel like a fraud. I have virtually zero actual art skill - I'd say that 90% of what I do is heavily referenced, to the point that anytime I don't have a reference to hand, my mind completely blanks and I'm unable to draw even the simplest of things by myself. I wanted to believe that despite that, the stuff I produced was still okay, but I'm struggling to even believe that anymore, given how little attention I get when I do post art at times. Combine all that with a constant underlying self-inflicted pressure to keep uploading art anyway, and it's now become too much for me to handle.
If anyone still wants to talk to me, I'm still going to be very active on Discord, especially in my own server. You could also note me here and I will check them, but probably not with any urgency as I don't check this site too often.
