ummm so i think it’s time to explain my issues with my own art, i think it’s important to let it out to ppl around me ;3
so basically, i’m always trying hard to draw non-stop, but i can’t. every drawing i finish, i must take a 2 days break with an art block
mostly i do literally nothing during those two days, i only check twitter and discord
2 days doesn’t seem long, but i take too long to finish a piece. why?? bc i get easily distracted. never talked about it (bc it’s not relevant lmao) but i have ADHD (attention deficit)
i see it on the bright side bc with it i get easily inspired by anything (mostly bc im not paying any attention to what i should be ACTUALLY doing lol) so my infamous “to draw list” i always talk about has more than 170 topics by now—
but the bad thing is that, again, i get distracted easily, and it takes days for me to finish smth
with that, im always anxious to draw more and more and more bc i don’t feel sufficient enough compared to other artists
smth else that makes me anxious is what other people think
yea if chu know me well, chu prob heard (read) me saying (writing) “screw what other ppl think” “what matters is chu, not other ppl” but in reality im always lacking confidence when it comes to art
i also compare a lot my progress/art style/time to other artists, mostly why i basically don’t use instagram anymore bc it’s bothersome and it rly plays with my emotions (damn cursed algorithm)
in other words: the fact that im a slow artist and that i need ppl to like my stuff ++ comparison, makes me feel like im not good enough, im a terrible artist and even if i sometimes come to like my art, the fact that some classmates won’t support me...
or in other words, even laugh at me bc of my work (and friends who like my art but wont show support), makes me lack even more confidence and have more ideas that will never come to happen (a cycle)
BUT IM TRYING TO CHANGE!! I’m trying to get less distracted and...
mind less what people say, bc again, not 100% will like our work and no one will like 100% of it either... in general, i like my work (sometimes confused bc flat shading is so pretty but gotta remember that it doesn’t suit me), just lack more confidence bc some ppl don’t like it-
anyways this is more of a vent before i ask smth, but i’ll QRT this thread since i dont think ppl will read all this BAKDJSIDS thank chu if chu did ;3
