i've been really working on my art now that i'm laid off for a while. my problem is that i've been doing a lot of watching/studying and i feel like i'm just never going to be good enough in the way i want.

my anatomy sometimes could use work and do i just draw a bunch of torsos in different positions? i do gesture drawing for my art but when I do ANYTHING above a fucking waist high, i feel it fuckin' sucks and i'm unimpressed.

ive been trying to do this 1 drawing that was a wip 3 yrs ago and i hated it then. i tried using so many references but i couldn't get that cute style i like to have. sometimes my style looks so weird and ugly and i'm like why am i even doing this?

like drawing the head from the tilted up slightly away angle was impossible. i can show you how bad the artwork i worked on has looked in the whole process, if you wanna see it but it's just trash.

How many sketch books have you filled this year?
I find it takes 2-3 full sketch books before I notice decent improvement. (doing a combo of drawing from ref, imagination, anatomy study, copying artists, perspective practice, drawing stuff around me like gunpla and mugs...)
I used to fill 1 sketch book every month or 2. I've slowed down lately as I am doing more digital.

i mostly do digital on my ipad. i don't fill up any sketch books per year, lol. i'm trying to do so much because i'm trying to work hard on my social media for my novel i'm writing(so I'm using my art as my way to bring people to me.)

so, i do a lot of passovers on my art. i draw from refs, sometimes imagination for fun, i do very little perspective which is my weakness :(

not really trying, it's more of a vent and self-hatred of my lack of skills.
