UnsatisfiedAll I really want is to hear your opinion on the situation though. I don't really want this to be long so I'll try to keep it short?
I'm kinda just not satisfied with the stuff I draw. Its not realy a matter of the content I don't think its just they way I do it. I've realized in the past that I have a habit of being SUPER critical of my own work, which I think developed because I was the only critic I had. Growing up no matter what I did everyone kept telling me everything I drew was awesome when I knew it wasn't so I had to find out the flaws and fix them myself. I believe I got a little too into it though because it got to the point when I wont advance in a picture until I fix something I notice. So I spend more time erasing than I actually do drawing.
lol This is actually kind of weird for me to be explain since I don't talk about it much(because I always get the "oh you're just being modest" crap.)
Anyway its not that I want what I do to be perfect, because I honestly don't believe there's a such thing as perfect art. I believe that unlike things like sports and blah blah where there's a limit to abilities, with art there's always room to improve. No matter how long you work of how much experience you have you'll always bee better in two year than you are today(that's what I believe anyway). However I do what to be satisfied with that I dot. I want to be proud of my drawings, and I'm not. I cant say that I hate everything I draw because when I finished the sketch for Apocrypha( [link] ) I loved it so much I didn't want it out of my sight, and I want to feel like that for everything I do. Well everything is a bit much because its an undeniable truth that regardless as to how proud I am, once in a while I'm going to make crap, everyone does. I've been thinking about this for a really long time but I always put it off by making excuses about being too busy to worry about it. But I guess now that I really have nothing better to do until March its driving me insane. But I don't know it I should just shut-up and stop being stupid because I know I'm over critical or is I should reflect and actually try to do something about it.
I've always been bad with decisions(once my friends and I stood at a store fore 30 min waiting for me to pick a drink)so I really don't know what to do at this point. I know that I'll NEVER give up drawing, my wrist didn't stop me so this definitely wont.
lol This is super awkward and I'm kinda hesitant to press send but I really do want a second opinion on it lol I just hope this isn't too long...

In some ways it can be good to be very critical of your work; it can push you to become better, but other times it can be kind of depressing. Actually, it can be very depressing.
I completely agree with you - there really is no such thing as a perfect piece of art; not even the great masters could achieve that no matter how good they were. And there never will be.
I see a lot of people on this site who don't seem to realise just how good they are
You have a lot of talent; it shines through your galllery!

My site
I love you
well, lol, we're somewhat alike. i've gotten a lot of "pretty" "cute" "nice" comments all the time on my artwork n' never anything else. |:> but i don't really care what other people say, hmm... n' if i have flaws, i'll usually look at another picture for any corrections of some sort.

Here I am, let me be your wings
This is normal, and you are not alone.
Sometimes we draw a masterpiece, sometimes we draw crap. Just keep forcing yourself to keep going and it will pay off.
Go to several accounts, go to the most popular artists, if they haven't submitted anything in a while, then they are having the same problem.
Just keep that pencil going ^^
You are amazing in your own way.

if you find that your art isn't good enough seek out a second oppinion. if they really like it, it boosts up your confidence tremendously! if i like a drawing a lot but can't find any inspiration to draw something else, i show someone that drawing and listen to the praise i get
the only reason i've been drawing is to get better than a person who said i had no talent at all and i should stop trying. that was in 4th grade
if you need a critique or second opinion, i'll be here for you

The trouble with life is that there's no background music
At least Stephenie Meyer gives hope to authors around the world. If she can get her crap published. So can you!
I dunno if I can without being mean.
But if you need someone to say what little things need to be worked on I'll try my best. But I would like it if you could do the same for me.

Those who know nothing, can undestand nothing.
I actually gave up on commenters a LOOOOOONG time ago.
The problem was with me and they way I over criticize everything to the point where I cant stand to look at my own drawings.

The main point of the journals wasn't the critic part it goes way beyond that, but I'm glad that you offered
