/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

everytime i study from reference i can't stop this sinking feeling in my stomach that i'll never get to the level to make something like the reference from imagination. i'd like to feel inspired everytime i see a good piece of art but instead i feel discouraged and want to puke because of how much time and practice went into it
my imagination is not the issue, it's the pure opposite of aphantasia, i can will anything into my mind's eye instantly and in full detail BUT my hands aren't worth anything. i broke both of my wrists a few years ago, maybe that fucked with my fine motor nerves. this world is a joke
