>try to do first day of inktober, draw a skull
>skull unironically looks worse than something a 2 year old would make. completely disproportinate and unsymmetrical despite my best efforts, terrible crooked lines, uneven eyes, a toddler could do better
>"you know what it's my first time i won't be super good at the beginning"
>be me today
>try to draw a knight holding a sword and shield
>it comes out even worse, LITERALLY a toddler could draw it better
and i'm not talking just oh bad messed up some perspective, i'm talking shaking wobbly lines eye being 2x bigger than the other unsymmetrical face 2 year old type shitty drawing.


does it ever get better?

waiting...

I don't get this board (or maybe the whole art community is like this?) at all. Why do you keep saying to "have fun" or anything like that, when drawing is fun only for first 15 minutes of drawing? As time goes on you begin to see more and more flaws, you try to fix them and you come to understanding that you can't - otherwise everyone would be godtier if he spent more time. Nothing in life makes me so depressed as drawing when I am several hours into a piece. It looks like shit and I can't fix it and that happens with every fucking piece.

And even then it's not my problem, it's something present in every beginner artist's journey. How the fuck can you call drawing "fun" if it's pure misery? I can't show it, I don't even want to look at it myself.

>tfw you are a mess with ruined self esteem due to childhood traumas
>cant force myself to draw even if its the only way for me to become respected and overcome my weaknesses

Should I just kill myself? It's really hard for me to have any work done.
