I've been struggling with my art again

Posted by KontraVersus - December 21st, 2023


I was doing really well with motivation and all, I don't think I could release 1 drawing a week since I was a really small kid. And as I was speeding through the gift I was making for someone and the drawing I was finishing I suddenly looked at my drawing and thought "holy shit, this is still so fucking ugly" and I haven't touched anything in a week lol. I also started looking at my art I released here, that I thought was really good and now I feel like I suddenly see every single small flaw again. And even though my ratings are good (which I don't think even should matter to me either really) I still feel like a 4.50 star rating is like I scored 5/10 lol.


I think I might have overdone it with the amount of work I put on myself out of happiness.

ON TOP OF THAT I started watching documentaries on real life accidents, crimes etc and this shit really badly fucks with me.

WHY IS MY BRAIN DOING THIS TO ME

Just take it all easy on yourself. It's the holidays too, so just sit back and relax until you feel ready to make art again. You DO have the talent.

Thank you :,D it's a mixture of my life being crap in the past, really bad experiences with social media and the pressure to post consistently or your accounts are literally dead and never recovering after like few weeks of not posting and a lot of people putting me down. But at he same time a lot of people told me I'm very good! So in conclusion nothing people say should matter here hahah (but obviously kind words help :D ). I still need to figure out how to actually get out of bad moods, because the last bad mood took me half of my life to recover from lol...

Seconding what Ceejay is saying, it's the holidays, so don't put too much pressure on yourself to be productive. I think it's normal for artists to go through ebbs and flow where they occasionally just don't feel good about their art at all, but artists are also kinda famously their own worst critics. I think your stuff kicks ass, been a fan since I saw your first upload here, and I know I'm not alone in thinking that. I hope this period passes, and in the meantime, I hope you get to spend time with your family, eat lots of good food and relax.

Everyone is so nice to me asbhxh, thank you so much, this means a lot to me hahah
I also did start to notice recently how everyone's art kinda has "flaws", just like the ones I see in my own art, and this has helped me so much, I just kind of got myself in the wrong mindset again :,( (if the art we made looked perfectly smooth it would look like ai art and nobody wants that hahah)
Thank you again!! ;v;
