I.. don't know
8 years ago
I have honestly lost nearly all my confidence as an artist at the moment. I keep letting myself get dragged down with how I fail to finish whatever I start, and how my art compares to everyone else. I keep wanting to get more into the community, but just end up feeling alienated. Feel like this is going nowhere no matter how much work I put in. Hell i barely know where this journal is going. I know this isn't the best place to put these words as I don't think anyone will really even read it, but I still feel like I have to get these words out. I end up frustrated that I'm not at the level I want to be, and it keeps me from even trying. How do you get over this?

Don't think about how your art compares to everyone else's! This is your OWN style. Be proud of it and don't let others or they're works tell you anything different. And your art has improved a lot since I've met you. It's not like everyone else's because it's ORIGINAL! Art shouldn't have to blend in with other pieces. Being an artist isn't about having a talented hand. It should be about expressing yourself as an individual. I myself, as well as many other artists have been down on that road you're on. The only thing you need to remember is that this is YOUR art. This is YOUR Style. This is YOUR LIFE!!
