No more designs? Or art?? May I ask why? I've always admired your designs and your art style. I know what it feels like to hate your own art, though. Trust me, I've been discouraged many times by looking at other artists and wondering why I'm not improving. But you shouldn't quit just because you think other people are better. You should strive to improve. I struggle with this constantly, hating my art and designs and getting so discouraged I just want to throw my tablet across the room. But I haven't given up yet. Even though I'm not anywhere near where I want to be, I'm not where I used to be. You can do it!

ive always absolutely adored your art style and even tho i see it takes you a while, it looks so incredible. ive spent 6+ hours and it comes nowhere near as good as your outcomes. you shouldnt give up cuz you view others as better then you. i understand if you need a break from art for a while, thats okay. but maybe reconsider after taking some time for yourself, and i mean, even if you just wanna quit, if thats what you see best for you then thats okay too. do whats best for you, i and many others will always enjoy what youve made and contributed.

Thank you guys <3 I just can't help but to compare myself to other people, Fawnpi Datwildwolf Cerulean wake and others.. how other people have improved so much and now im kinda stuck at a roadblock, not really improving and struggling to draw simple things :/ Most of my probably is that I'm not improving from here, I know I've gotten better from where I started but now it's just kinda. not getting any better? I'll probably stick around for artfight and see how things go. Just not happy with how my designs and drawings have been turning out and even though people tell me not to compare myself to other people I can't help it

Thank you for your kind words though D: it really does make me feel better 💖

instead of looking at how you're recently improving, try looking back. whenever i feel discouraged, i always look back on my old pieces and notice how much i've improved. you have a lot of skill! i looked.
i also envy a lot of artists, but instead of giving up, aspire to do better. focus on what you want to improve on and work towards it. you can't just hope to improve on certain things without zeroing in on what needs improvement and how you should go about it. i need to work on being quicker, as of now a simple doodle takes over an hour. find out what you want to do better at, watch videos, study it. art is a passion, like anything else, it requires techniques and skill, if you don't study, it's difficult.
