so true

I feel this so deeply

I'm not an artist, but this just seems relevant to being a person.

Can confirm XD

difference is you might have a thousand people watching you about to fail, being put on a pedestal doesn't always feel human

а еще дедлайны, блин

Бываает

m o o d

Yep, seen this several times with artistic friends. That's where I try to cheer them up with love and support <3

Worst part is.. you gotta work both days X'D

Lmaoo unfortunately úwù

I feel this so much and it's honestly a cycle that never seems to end

I follow your work, I love it! I think part of being an artist, or skilled artisan of any kind, is learning to walk your own path, at your own pace. There's always a bigger fish, but they didn't get that big overnight. Envy for others is also fine, so long as that is used as drive to push yourself forward, and not target someone for success they have earned. You, have been one of my inspirations when I decided to get back on the artistic saddle. In that sense, thank you for sticking to it, and thanks for being one of the bigger fish :3

Ahh true, true; you do bring a good point that sometimes I just forget haha. And thank you so much! that honestly means a lot and i’m glad I could be an inspiration to you in one way or another <:

Жиза :*(

Зелёная сопелька- просто идеальная деталь XD

Oh I know the feels ... a curse for all artists

I’m sure this conundrum applies to many creatives. Part of the drive to improve for sure.

The neverending loop xD

😭why so real

Yes, and this can flick from one day to the next and back again... Artist's rollercoaster!

I feel this on so. Many. Levels.

I don't think I ever had the left sort of day lol

Agreed

Save every bit of good feedback you get, in a file. Whenever you feel bad, open that file, read some to yourself.

much feels

iom not as popular, but damn, being a creative is a lot of this

Word

Какая же ЖИЗА....

I'm definitely the one on the right, most of the time. It sucks. u_u

Indeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed. 8/

Как всегда. Надо же, мы подобны вихрю

Yup, sounds about right

Oh, yeah >< always

Gosh, this is so accurate it scares me

Does it never stop?
From my pov you are perfect!

You artists, are both your strongest ally and worst enemy. I honestly can feel that pain with just a flip of a switch. You poor thing

straight in the feels :(

This is so true, and as Relevancy said, you have to keep working both days ;v;

the 99% is a mix of both on my case

You feel these on different days?

Not all in the same one?

Жиза, __,

Well good news then: whenever you feel down one day, you can be comforted by knowing that you'll feel great about yourself again soon enough!

*hugs you and loves you for what you do make because I enjoy seeing it* =)

That..... is 100% true

True story.

I know the feeling.

Ahhh this is very relatable..
I feel like the right side much more often than the left. Especially after thinking I could do art for a living my entire life only to find I don't have the specific drive and mental ability to do so.

Now that is a mood.....

Definately

Fuck, I feel that one :|

There is also the thirt condition: *hungry* *hard working* *no time 4 anything else*

I'm in the later at the moment.

omg... I agree.

You're reading my mind. And a lot of others too.

M O O D

big M O O D

Well, more like 5 minutes of the left and the rest of the day of the right...

The thing that always gets me is thinking that I have to constantly outdo myself. So, if I upload something that looks great and gets a lot of feedback, if my next piece isn't as good or BETTER, then I feel like a failure.

Well, this use to be an issue for me, but it isn't anymore. Now, I just create, and I always do my best without overwhelming myself or thinking too much about it. If it comes out great, great! If it could have been better, that's just the way it is.

Perfectionism sucks. It is one of my biggest downfalls. <3

Accurate, but after being pro for decades, the mood swings are very shallow at this point between “Nice!”, and “Meh..”.

Yep

Oooof, and fursuit makers when the client hits you up for an artistic liberty character...

Ugh I hate that feeling so much...and it seems like the thoughts just keep getting worse and worse...

This is perfect.

This is so painfully true TTwTT

Absolute truth.

I'm sorry, but I have to report this picture.. as I am being depicted there as well!

Never felt so called out before but very true xD

Being called out in the best way: Damn...

Me except I'm the one on the right every day and I still make/force myself to draw. oof!

Been through this lots, both sides. What makes it worse when there's no feedback and being completely ignored by those who follow you. Happens to all artists more than it should.

Every artist's pain.

Even as a writer, I can 100% confirm this feeling.

So true=)

sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo true :>

This. THIS. All of this.

i wish it werent so

Am I in big trouble when it's almost everyday with feeling like this every other day?

yup

Hugz
