Yes it is very hard, we feel many bad things. We feel our work until now was for naught, we feel that we were wrong and we didn't even realize, we feel disappointed in ourselves, and we worry if we are just going to make the same mistake again and then we feel worried how many other things we have yet to notice, and then we get worried if we can overcome it or we will get stuck forever in our current /beg/ state. It is a feeling of guilt, a hit to our ego and doubt in our abilities.

But it is fine anon, it is all FINE. We can learn to accept it we can learn to let go and open ourselves and accept that we are not perfect, we are not a finished product, we are always on the road always in the process of change and development. We can learn than one picture we made today is not the end of the line, it does not determine our ultimate fate, it is not the sum total of everything we are and we will be. There will be other works in the future, many of them and each will bring a new experience. We can learn to let go of these feelings and move on to the next thing.

Keep working at it!

headpat Anon here

Seems the problem is simply that you have too great expectations for yourself because you look at professionals only see the gap between you and them. Because of this you look to punish yourself for not being them yet.

Again it's okay to feel like this Anon, we all have had these breakdowns before, I have had it too. On the bright side tough you still have time, you still have money an time (as little as it may be) to keep going. So keep going, make up a goal keep going towards that.

I know now you are thinking "but if it doesn't work out?" Well then it simply doesn't work out but at least you tried, you did your what you could. You can worry about that when that time comes, today you still have what you have today you can still do the things you want. Worrying about the future comes naturally to everyone, doing the thing you want anyways is what makes the difference.

Keep going! Pick that pencil(or tablet pen) up again and do those studies, if you are so bewildered by the works of professionals then make studies of those works to "de-mystify" them. Watch, some Bob Ross he is probably one of the best person to de-mystify some really amazing looking works.

The important thing is, keep going, stay moving, if you are moving you do not have the time to stay depressed and shit gets done.
