Of course! Is there anything you need help with for example shading, colouring lineart, lighting, anatomy and etc? |

I don't think artist is ever 100% satisfied with what they make, but that is sort of good since thos people see space for progress and want to imporove even more. But that feeling of constant chasing may be tiring ^^""" so I personally improve style and my knowledge about art, but I have more styles and that's what helps me since not every stlye is WIP all the time, I have styles that are not hard and are more fun then anything ^^ and cute and likeable so making them makes me happy, it's not a master piece or anything like it, but art you are happy with :) So having that comfort zones in drawing really helps when you are not feeling it or something or are insecure, it's not a step back, just small break before pushing forward again. These styles are also sort of product of what I want...In a way that they fit certain roles or ecpectaions that are reachable more or less. Like my chibi-anatomy is basically having shape and proportions are not following real life, they have simple full lines, not much details to lose your head about, but what makes them shine in my eyes beside fact they are cute is that they easily represent one moment, often funny, that was easily achieved with pose and simple background. They are one picture story, one laugh and moment of fondness ^^ so yeah, they relax and are nice, while semi-realistic style takes multiple hours, lots of sketching and line redoing, learning antomy and what not; it's direction I want to go in and I am, but it is not easy so knowing chibies have my back when it's dark is really nice ^^ ------------------------ Now that we know that feeling like your art is not what you want is okay, productive in a way, and that there is way to stop that feeling is needed I can give some practical advice :3 as already said some examples would be great so WP players can see what you need help with. But in general you imporve through practice ^^ you can do something for yourself only or you can do art for others, doing art challenges (those 30 days one) is good too. Here you can maybe try going with Free Art Shop-which means that people will give you tasks and OCs to draw and them you can practice by drawing that ^^ but it being free means you won't get any mush in return. Or you can open real Shop with prices and all :3 |
