Artist Problems - Blog Posts

my style is so consistent but inconsistent at the same time i hate it

I wanna continue drawing but my tablet pen dropped off the face of the earth a few hours ago rip

Feeling rough lately.

Why did I do this to myself......?

someone asked if I do commissions and I wanted to say yes but like… I’m not supposed to have social media and I was thinking about it. I should have just done it for free but like I didn’t think about it until it would’ve been weird to respond for a second time :(

fighting the urge to post progress of this piece frequently and obnoxiously because these women are too beautiful to not show the world . i must persevere and finish the shading

i have seen popular artists only drawing like pinterest girl aesthetic...

like how do they draw women all the time?

meanwhile me only drawing men and gender neutral people.

i am so sorry but people draw women too beautiful meanwhile me if i draw them they wouldnt look right.

people who draw women please teach me ;-;

Please read if you are a fan of my art

I have recently hit an all time low in my mental health since Covid. I do not have the time to do anything I love such as drawing. I have drawings in progress so this does not mean I have art block. But my schedule and mental health have made my time little to nothing for it.

I don't know how long I won't be able to draw. A lot has gone on and I just can't draw rn.

Thank you for your understanding ❤️

I swear if this shows one more time when I'm trying to post my wife I'm throwing hands

Thanks for reading episode #37 of Slices of Gremlin -- ("Fwoomp")! ...And for being patient as we change to a bi-weekly schedule for the present (I need to update the Webtoon graphic)! Do you ever have a day when you feel like going fwoomp? God bless!

What makes you feel rejuvenated? I certainly feel good after getting a chance to be creative! I hope you have enjoyed episode #25! If you like the comic, please subscribe on Webtoon. I also have a surprise this week -- my Ko-Fi membership has gone down from $5 to $3! Wow, what a deal! You can get early access to new comics every single week and get to view them a week earlier than anyone else. 👏

*exhausted sigh* Finally, I have some time to myself and I can just draw and NOOOOOOOOOO ITS OUT FUCKING BATTERY IM GOING TO BURN DOWN THE NEAREST OR- oh hey would you look at that it was just powered off.

And then on the other side of the spectrum it’s just artists finding increasingly unique ways to hide the hands in drawings

nobody warns you that writing makes you obsessed with hands. what are they doing? are they trembling? are they clenched? are they—

My urge to make fanart of my favorite characters in media and the irrational need to emulate their visage perfectly as if it was the equivalent to a medieval painter getting the portrait of a prophet just right , less they be publicly executed via the church, keep fighting in my head like maddened bulls

this is about procrastinating. or executive dysfunction. i think

Guys, I've been feeling a bit unwell lately, I'm having physical and mental health problems, so it might be a while before I can post current art again for a while. I hope you understand and thank you <3

I can't access Twitter anymore, now I have no place to post my nsfw drawings 💔

so what i’ve collected over the past few years is:

I seriously need to budget for a new drawing tablet, I can't get any artwork done when mine has like... a 45 minute lifespan until the battery drains completely ughhh.

Any recommendations would be great, currently using the iPad pro that's wayyyyyy past its expiration date lmao.

Sometimes you just gotta realize that deep inside we’re all full of shit. at times literally but that’s another story

OH MY GOOOOOSH I JUST WANNA DO ART SHIT BUT MY ART SUPPLIES KEEPS FUCKING DISAPPEARING UBUBREFHBIDCWINJCEQJIEWCHBC

First, my eraser. Second, my mechanical pencil.

THIRD, MY FUCKING REPLACEMENT ERASER RF2VGUIBHCE2. FOURTH, MY DAMN PENCIL SHARPENER. I. AM. LOSING. MY. MIND

I just wanna art :[

AAAAA I WANTED TO HAVE PATIENCE TO MAKE ANIMATIONS, SO I COULD MAKE VIDEOS OF KENYAN WITH THESE SONGS:::

They’re so her.

I want to do a playlist for all the characters too, but somehow I only remember of Kenyan when searching songs (is this an addiction???? 😨)

charakter sketches

idk did sketch some poses too and I need to learn how to draw boddies TvT😭😭

dayum iraka 😏

WHY DOSE MY ART SKILL TURN OFF AND ON?! One sec I'm drawing like shit then all of a sudden, I can draw again!

I was drawing a sketch of butter earlier and it looked like shit. NOW I'm sketching a pic of betrayus and I can FUCKING DRAW!

I don't get it! I just don't. And this betrayus pic is him in a flirty pose. Why did my skills come back when I'm drawing sexy betrayus?! WHY?!

Every now and then I need to remind myself of this. We all can be that other person.

I just want to draw I just want to draw but this stupid meat suit is limiting me I am my own worst enemy

"The world is terrible and the only job I can keep is selling my art. Let's try again."

Too many artists, oversaturated market.

Ai Bros fucking artists over.

My normal style isn't something most people would be interested in.

"Let's make a new style that isn't overly common to see, so we'll stand out more."

Several huge artists with similar styles.

Their stuff is more polished than mine.

"Guess I can't do this either. Goddamn it."

So uh….some dude apparently recreated Adobe Photoshop feature-for-feature, for FREE, and it runs in your browser.

Anyway, fuck Adobe, and enjoy!

I want to draw, but I can't think of anything to draw that I'll be happy with. All of my current ideas are all various distances from my current skill level. It's so frustrating.

I want to do this as a career but I don't trust myself to determine the value of my art or my ability to write a decent story.

I'm not sure if anyone would want to buy my commissions or read my comics. It's so hard to push yourself past your normal comfort zone and skills, but it's necessary. My problem is that I like to quit whenever I'm not immediately good at something. I have no patience and I want the skills NOW.
