Mhm. Well I'm not happy with my work either and doubt I ever will be, but I just keep working at it. Simplifying things down a lot is working for me at the moment though, doing simple paintings and slowly working my way up to more complex ones. I'm really into the Mullins/JJ/etc way of painting, but I can't just jump in and do a piece like that, so I've been doing studies and little doodles in that technique and slowly getting more adventurous. I also like studying artists who do it well but keep it very simple, like this dude, Tahir Tanis. That's just a guy standing in the street, but he's focused on the colours and lighting and such and made it interesting.

My point was to relax a bit and try get good at simpler things before you slowly increase the complexity. That's a better thing to do than lowering your targets. We're all lacking in areas, every single one of us. I know a bunch of pros who started with focusing on one aspect and getting really damn good at it, and now they're expanding out to other things one by one. Don't worry about progressing so much anon, it's not something you can see easily. Just keep working, and you'll slowly get better.
