Journal

Utter FAIL D:

Sun Jul 27, 2008, 4:49 PM

So just to bump my old journal out of the way...

I feel like I'm not exceeding at art anymore. Sure I have gotten better...but with the masses of other ridiculously awesome artists out there it's kinda hard to think I would even be considered an artist. sure it takes time and years but I don't know even what to do....what do people like when they sift through these sites? And being furry is a completely different ball game....I just feel like I'm not up to being a good enough artist that people would even consider buying things from me at cons.....Can we just stamp a big friggin F to my head and sit me in the corner now?

I know exactly how you feel. My own art's been slacking slacking as of late too, but, maybe what I've been trying could work for you too, so...

Maybe check with your friends and such, or check around IRC channels and other chats, or maybe even just message one of the artists you admire and request a little bit of critique on some of your stuff. Take what's said to heart as well and try anything they suggest that might help. It won't be a miracle change, but it gives you something more focused to improve on, and who knows, it could help you out of this slump.

Atleast, this is what's working for me at the moment, thought maybe the idea could help you too.

hey don't worry too much about it. It isn't easy trying to make money off of drawing stuff. But ultimately, until you feel you're good enough to be selling your art, do it because you want to. Having that motivation helps you improve. It takes time, sure. But maybe trying to go through tutorials for various things could help as well. My art isn't exactly good. I need to do more of it, frankly. I just don't draw enough...I wish I could help you further. I was just taking a look at your pounced.org profile. Pretty neat!
