Name a well known artist that displays ANY kind of behavior, or demeanor that could be construed as negative.

inb4 coom art is inherently negative.

I've never heard an artist talk about how important your temperament, or attitude is, but watching all these great artists trying to teach, a common thread throughout all of them, apart from their near universal ignorance of how they draw or learnt to draw, is a positive, and open state of mind, approach to life/art.

Do you draw better when you are in a positive state of mind?
When you make a mistake, does berating yourself improve, or worsen your state of mind?
Is your art a reflection of your state-of-mind?
Does [insert fav. artist name] display any signs of negativity, or a poor state of mind/mental health when drawing, interviewing, writing? How do they handle their mistakes?
Watch a tutorial from [x artist] and notice their attitude, how they talk, hold themselves, what happens when they make a 'mistake', answer questions. Are they obviously depressed, and so on.
Why is learning to draw so god damn hard? If you didn't make mistakes [along with the consequent negative feedback], would it be so hard?
Could the real Gains Goblin be your state-of-mind? Not just at the moment of drawing, but your life outlook, and disposition in general.

Compare pic related to [x artist] and also to how you feel during your best & worst drawing experiences.

inb4. but the shit art came before my shit reaction.

Having a negative outlook on life doesn't really make your art worse, but it can have a huge impact on your work ethic and productivity.

No matter if life is shit, you just have to do it anyway then.

Viewing your mistakes and failures as a lesson rather than a flaw could possibly speed your learning up. You'll get less frustrated and practice longer if you are mindful of what you did wrong.
Try to avoid telling yourself self-fulfilling prophecies, because that will make you procrastinate and learn at a slower rate, or even give up on art completely.

Art is very complex and it is a tough skill to learn, but in order to go far, you need to fall in love with the process more than the output. :p

Judging artists through learning material, which is constructed to be both extremely audience friendly to everyone and to inspire hope on normies is seeing things through a very twisted lens. It's like trying to reach an ontological ground of reality from youtube videos like pregnant elsa gives birth to poopy spiderman.

Granted, self doubt its the greatest poison you can induce on yourself, If you are extremely certain that you will never ever make it you will never even truly try on the first place. Artists tackle these two by either lying to themselves enough until it becomes a reality or through sheer unbridled autism that makes them unaware of the concept of making so they never second guess themselves and focus all the time in drawing their waifus, fursonas, portraying their fantasy autismo worlds or drawing the same thing over and over ad nauseam. There is a middle ground between these two and are people which constantly foster negative emotions because they are aware of the concept of success/failure and unable to give their visions justice due to their lack of skill, so negative feelings are normal. As a closing remark artists are usually ignorant on how they learn because being aware of this process and deconstructing it properly to other people is an extremely complicated process that takes a lot of intelligence, artists are often the biggest brainlets you will ever see, the good thing about this fact is that both you and me can make it as long as you put the autismo hours into it on the regular and having a faint doubt that you might very well make it.
