FoxJF, and I'm saying this as someone who once was feeling similarly to you, I wish you had more faith in yourself and your growing abilities as an artist. The will to become better may be strong, but it can sure put you down if you believe in it too much and force yourself to acheive it. So far, from your first submission, I have seen improvment, you ARE growing.

Have you ever tried "doodle-based" drawings before?

It's a technique I use often when I have no idea what to draw and it helps with creativity a lot, at least for me, and you have no boundaries or pression, because what you draw is what you see in the doodle.

Here, I'll show you an example I made: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12997169/

I don't care about the perceptions of others on it whether they think it is good or bad, as there was no intention of it being good or bad to begin with. It's just out it turned out and I did it for fun without caring about the final result.

Anyways, sorry about barging in like that, that was indiscrete, but when I see growing artists who unvalue their work, it reminds me of who I was and how stressful and heavy it can get to push yourself too much in wishing to become better.

Anyways, You now have me as a new watcher.

Keep up the good work and have a most convenient day!

*tilts her head a bit* I don't mind your comment in the slightest. It's nice to have some sort of feedback. And I do have sort of doodle arts I've done, stuff I never bother posting because.. Well because I don't fancy it much good :P I basically just upload what I deem worthy. I'd like to think over the year or so I've been drawing I've gotten better. I know my style has changed a bit in that time and now I focus more on detail work via shadowing, not that I'm good at that.. But it's what I try to do more no. and I know that I started drawing Frances and Vivi recently, and I feel like that's been good, as it gives me something to just draw when I'm bored, even if it's not where I originally thought I'd go as an artist.

But in the spirit of not rambling on.. Thank you for your watch and support ^^

Oh... XD Well then, sorry for misinterpreting and you are most very welcomed.

But what I meant as "doodle-based" drawings is to just draw some random lines in your sketchbook or whatever, with your eyes closed, open them after, and then try to see among the lines something you can draw. I dunno if you understand what I mean. XD
