Hit a bit of a rough patch tonight. I've been sick with a bad chest cold/sinus infection the past few days and it's bummed me out pretty bad, especially considering my birthday weekend is coming up really fast. That, and I've hit a real artistic block, I feel really discouraged and unhappy about the status of my style and art right now, and I'm quickly losing hope of getting a job in my field and questioning why I did what I did major-wise. But at the same time, art is what I love, working on the computer is what I love, and I really don't want to lose that love due to disuse and stagnation.
SO I am going to push through this, and I am going to FINISH this horrible backlog if it's the last thing I do. No more putting it off due to low self confidence in my drawing ability. I have a degree from a pretty well known school, that's gotta count for something, right?
*sigh* gonna sleep on it, maybe (hopefully) I'll feel a lot better in the morning...

I know that same feeling... I graduated a year ago for animation. And haven't felt any inspiration to animate since or had much luck finding a job in that field. It feels really hopeless.... but I'm just gonna keep drawing I'm not gonna stop working to better my art, and neither should you. You may just need to take a break if you have to, but keep drawing, doesn't matter what it is, its something to help you better yourself for when inspiration does strike. You can do it! Hope you feel better soon!
Sorry for the rant ^^; I just felt I had to say something...

thanks baby girl, this means a lot to me. Yeah I feel you. I'm not the only one struggling, and it just kills me to see talented artists flounder because the economy is so horrible. I have another friend who did animation too, and she's literally buried under her student loan debt right now, and she graduated 2 years ago now. Been working dead end jobs, it's really tough. Right now just trying not to get too discouraged and keep fighting.
Thanks for your comment, it really helped. :) Hopefully someday we're both doing what makes us happiest.
