Is anyone else at that stage where you've improved a lot faster in the past, but all of a sudden you just stop improving for a while or just improve really slowly?

Art is a painful depressing and a lovely journey

“The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried.”

Here's the thing though

The best art advice I've ever got was. "When you're not happy with your art. It's because you can see what you need to improve. And you know what you need to work on."

what I've learned so far is that if you're comparing yourself to your favorite artists you're never going to get on the level you want. What really helped me personally was looking at artwork that I enjoy and actually thinking "why do I enjoy this?" then looking at my own art and asking "how can I make this better?"

"stop obsessing over how good everyone else is and focus on yourself" - thank you so much i needed this!

I really hate making art sometimes i feel like my art equals to my self worth it’s because it’s the one thing I committed my whole life and I feel horrible when I see how my art isn’t how I want to look

I literally spent 4-5 hours on my art.. and I'm proud of it.. until I go on Pinterest and I see ppl that are way better than me. That ARE THE SAME AGE AS ME....

My brain: draw

This reminded me of a funny image that cheered me up.

I’m in an art university and tried my hardest and thought it was pretty good and then I got feed back saying

My brain: (imagines amazing scenes and animations based on rps and DnD adventures)

I'm stuck like this. Its just hard to keep going because "what's the point of drawing if it all looks bad?"

I keep getting jealous from other artists and feel like I can't draw good enough.
