Description It's possible every single artist on the planet gets it at least once. It's even more possible every single artist on the planet gets it like twice a month.

Well, seeing as I'm a constant victim of this I decided to draw it for my portfolio.
....
Seeing as I was stressing because I felt everything I draw would never be good enough so this fits rather nicely.

And yes, all those blurry sketches were done by me. Hey I don't have to submit EVERYTHING I draw do I?

anyway enjoy!

The feeling is most common, as you wondered about - however, isnΒ΄t the feeling that any8ihg one does "isnΒ΄t good enough"( well, and thatΒ΄s also well known that any artist/creator is always its own worst and acrid critic )anything that moves us on and forward?

DonΒ΄t worry about this - actually, I love the works that are in your galleries.
So, even forth you feel muster to change or to improve, thatΒ΄s natural to be!
In fact, would be sad and worse if one just wanted to stop it - creativity is always due for experimentation, so one wouldnΒ΄t ver know if doesnΒ΄t try, either.

This is probably one of the BEST drawings I've seen lately in your Gallery. I'm not kidding. Look, here you've practically dumpted all your feelings into your own self, and the result is superb.

The lines are great. The color is better. The shades are really, really awesome. The background fits the expression and pose.

This is, again, one of the BEST drawings I've seen in your Gallery, lately. And that's why it goes to my Favs.

There's more to do in the Net of Nets!

Of course you don't. And many artists(self here)fill this each time they finish the pic they thought was to turn out SO good, only to find it STINKS or so it seems to them.

You shouldnt, your art work is so awesome. You have brilliant drawing, shading and colouring techniques. To me you seem to be such an awesome person too. You have all of us, your fans, admirers, your friends, shoot even those random passers by who drop a comment here and there. We are here if you ever need us

I know how it feels. A bunch of my friends are artists here on DA, and looking at their stuff makes me want to crawl under my bed and die. TT.TT
Like you said every artist deals with self doubt, and deals with it alot! But I guess thats also a driving force for them to get better.

I like the coloring on this picture... I really like the detail on the jeans... the little seems.

GAH! I hate when there are artist out there that everyone loves and they are only like 12 or 13. It makes me feel like a failure.
But what really gets me is, I opened up commisions almost a year ago, and I haven't gotten one commision or even an art trade. TT.TT While all these younger people are out their raking in the money. It kills me.

The art world is so unfair!

Who dosn't know that feeling? I do! People can say a million time, that your work are great, and still you would doubt your own abillities to draw...

But your work still rock! Lurv the expression, you got it really good! ^^

Thanks muchly
it's true though isn't it? You're ALWAYS gonna doubt your own work. that's just the way it is. I guess it's a good thing cuz it means you'll always keep wanting to improve...or something...

Yeah, it makes balance in the universe
If you didn't wanted to improve yourself, then how to get better?

I personally think you should make stuff like this more. I like it...a lot.

Hey, I put up a good amount of things that I've made on deviantArt, so you're not the only one who does it. And why you so down so much?? Such a nice person who has real talent should not be so depressed all the time.

As for being down so often, I'm not really sure to e honest I try and stay optomistic but I just get certain days where I get down for no real reason but I do have happy days too. honest I do XD

Brawny-Butch In reply to C-Puff [2007-01-16 22:32:58 +0000 UTC]

Well, that's good to hear. I'm a bit pessimistic myself (even though I do try to stay optimistic), but whatever.

It's better to be balanced in emotions.

You shouldn't feel like this, this picture is great just like everything else you've ever done, I am in LOVE with your art, this may seem stalker-ish but I actually printed one of your pieces out and have it hanging on my wall. If you wanna see art that sucks you should see MY art now THAT sucks. =[ I lurve j00! <3
