Hello,
Sorry for the inactivity lately! Truth is, I've been really struggling with my art. It's not that I have no ideas or no motivation to draw – I've got bucketloads of that shit – but I've been so unhappy with everything I've drawn for quite a while now that it feels pointless even trying. I was very happy with my art for ages earlier this year, but now I feel like I've gone back several years of improvement and it's so disheartening. I'm actively embarrassed about how my art looks recently.
I liked my art style from a few months ago! I LOVED IT! But I can't seem to make it look good now. I haven't changed anything about my process to make it look different, it just... looks bad now. It sucks.
I doubt anyone will be able to help, I've got plenty of "do studies" and "redraw old art" or "trace poses to draw something low-effort" and none of it has worked. If anything it's made me feel worse. If anyone has any suggestions feel free. I don't want to have to stop drawing altogether because I know it'll only make things worse because my muscle memory will deterioirate, but I don't see any other option other than making shit art that makes me upset :/
Sorry for the increase in vent posts lately. Hopefully I feel better soon.
