Description
I wanted to do a stress relief drawing...but guess what! I've never cried this much WHILE drawing something lmao.
But don't worry about me. I cry a lot.
I've just been feeling like a failure for a long time.
I suck at everything and I fuck up a lot and I'm often surrounded by people who are so much better than me.
I just wanna meet someone nice irl that I can start a relationship with...I think that'll make me feel better =w=

big mood
can relate
but I just tell myself "later girl, later." All my hopes are on my future college tbh
Also if that makes you feel better.... read Advice 5 on my journal. I included you/took you as an example:
Β
(Art) Advices (to be updated)1. Advice: Your current art skill is the best you can do right now. You can't be better today than you are.Β
No point in stressing over your art because it isn't on Mona Lisa level yet - whining about your skill doesn't make improve.
Your art isn't gonna be on Mona Lisa level tomorrow either. But if you stay humble and just continue step by step, it will gradually get there.
2. Advice: Stop browsing and admiring your art idols for too long.
Doing this can result in comparing your art to your idols and that again can make you really unhappy about what you do.
If you really want to waste your time online instead go and either read through motivational journals or art theory posts.
3. Advice: Don't care about what others think of your art style.
Even if people call you out for having an "unori

At least we have hope ^^'
aww thanks! that's so cool :,D
that other person you mentioned does compare him/herself with the best of the best of the best tho
ok advice 4 scares me. I spent ALL day drawing today (5am til 8pm) but I had to cuz I had so many ideas o_o'

yass hope shall die the last (or however this is said in english lol)
yea well don't we all compare ourselves to the super awesome people? 
There is just so much soul and love in every one of your artworks meanwhile I have the impression that my art is soullless as heck. Plus your stuff simply looks better come on. But then also some people told me that they look up to silly old me/my art 
Also lol don't worry if you WANT to because you feel the absolute need to and it's fun - it's all okay. I was mostly referring this to people who feel obliged to improve in an incredibly short amount of time (aka me
Like idk some people have such a strict study schedule because they want to be the very best very soon...Β At the end it works out but with huge sacrifices such as your wrists health and burnout

waah thank you ;U;
When I just got on deviantArt when I was 14 I spent hours looking through deviantArt and admiring all the freaking talent. I also downloaded lots of pictures from google images to save for reference 0v0
It didn't stress me out though, I was so eager to learn.
However I was always sooo angry about having only 45 watchers....I even remember crying about it xD
I thought I was THE SHIT but nobody else did...so I was angery at the stupid internet.
π: 0 β©: 1
wow you think I have a big audience?
I might have 3K watchers but barely anyone of them actually looks at my stuff.
while I do look at my watcher count often, I don't rlly have a problem with it because I get just enough comments to feel validated and have fun little convos every now and then ^v^
maybe it will ausart into something bad some day...
woah how many followers did you have?? That's kinda sad ;_; I'm hoping to get to 10K on instagram some day and I'm already thinking about how I'll handle not replying to everyone's comments and DMs
...10k lol neva!? but I wannaaaa xD
π: 0 β©: 1
yea I had 3k active watchers on IG too (nothing big but too big for me to handle) 
Those with 500k tried to put on a pokerface, saying "I am an artist, no social media star" but I watched them burn out as well as I did lol. When they made a post, saying "I don't know why I draw anymore, my passion seems to have vanished", pretty much the same thing that I experienced in my art burnout, I was just all like... yea seems like you cared more about your fame than you claimed to have
When I had my 3k dudes on insta I put myself under such pressure to be perfect, at the end I believed that I didn't deserve all of this and I felt like an complete imposter. Plus I forced myself to draw one postworthy drawing a week... which went well for a couple of years but then absolutely burnt me out. You know this feeling when you post something and then get a huge anxiety attack from how people are gonna judge it now? It was so bad I often just deleted it the second it was posted
10k actually is still small enough to make you able to handle all your DMs. One of my instagram friends got 10k and more and it was still easy to talk to her. Oh and also she was complaining about how she doesn't have enough followers/activity. Everybody does tbh, I bet those 1m people complain why they don't have 10m
π: 0 β©: 1
I think I totally deserve the amount of followers I have on every one of my social medias.
I just hope to get more attention some day because I'm super active lately ;v;
This pressure thing is something I felt for the first time with the comic about the song I hated. It's just an opinion that not everyone else agrees with and I'm rlly putting it out there.
Maybe it's a good thing tho, cuz it can prepare me for hate I might get in the future.
There is one artist on insta that I always compare myself to.
She uploads a lot on dA but only the best stuff on insta. So she posts like once a week while I post every day, yet she gets followers much faster TvT'
That just makes me overthink what I might be doing wrong. Are ppl annoyed by all those posts? are they too all over the place?
okay well I better accept the amount of followers I have, no matter what ;;
It doesn't make me any less of an artist, less good, or less special.

Okay, your serene Luna drawing have been absolutely stellar. I canβt say this enough. Theyβre both super relaxing to just take in and really aesthetically appealing. I honestly might make one of them my laptop background.

I like looking back at them too xD
oh ye they'd have the dimensions for a laptop background :3

you can aslo try to do new things and find some other hobbies that you may enjoy and experience new things and don't look to negative on yourself because that's not going to make it better ^^

lol if I try anything else I'll realize even more how faily I am

Comon don't think that negative aboutt yourself it's not that bad c:

In the wise words of good ol' Uncle Iroh, "In our darkest times. Hope is something we give ourselves. That is the meaning of inner strength."
In other words. It isn't good to be riding the thought that someone else can and will fix everything for you.
That said, we are social creatures. We need people in our lives, people to talk to and spend time with. I don't have that, so I bought one of those full body pillow cases with a picture of a character on it and I talk to that everyday. I know it sounds crazy, but it helps. Because solitude is a real danger.
It is a good idea to find that balance of independence and knowing when you need help.
As for the feeling like a screw up. I'm still trying to figure my way around that too. I keep coming back to that scene from Treasure Planet with Jim Hawkins.
"Look! Don't you get it?! I screwed up! I thought for two seconds that maybe I could do something right. But... just... forget it, forget it"
Then of course there is Silver's response:
"Now, you listen to me James Hawkins. You got the makings of greatness in ya, but you've got to take the helm and chart your own course and stick to it! No matter squalls! And when the time comes that you get to really test the cut of your sails, and show what you're made of. Well... I hope I'm there. Catching some of the light coming off ya that day."
One thing I can definitely say that you are NOT a failure at... is your art. If you remember nothing else, remember this. Not only are you good at drawing, but your drawing affects the lives of many others. And that's not something many people can say. The people that follow you and comment on your work are here for your work, for you, because of you. So keep going, you are doing great.

I don't think a partner would fix everything.
I'm sure there are problems that come with a partner as well. That's how it's always been for me lol.
There's no perfect boyfriend.
Or "he would be perfect if only _____"
Well I'm not on a treasure planet adventure.
My life is pretty bland.
Maybe I'd have to watch the scene for myself to get the effect that you got
Bleh
I get it's hard for y'all to believe that I'm a loser because online I'm known for what I'm good at.
But this is really all I'm good at.
And eventhough my drawing abilities don't rlly satisfy me anymore, if I couldn't draw I'd feel a lot worse.

I guess replying with something is better than nothing. Sorry that I have left this for so long, and sorry that I still don't have an actual reply. I haven't been doing so well, and still am not doing so well.
I guess I kind of fell into the same boat as you, ha ha ha. ^_^'
I hope you are doing better though.

I'm like that a lot. Wanting to find someone special, but i'm perfect like everyone else. I'm a fuck up. People hate me all over. But I know that feeling. Sometimes, I just wanna be hated more and more. I've given up.
π: 0 β©: 1
...I don't think anyone hates me though.
It's not hate, they just don't think much of me.
Why would someone hate you?
