Artistic rut.

Tue May 27, 2008, 10:06 PM
As I said on one of my previous deviations, I want to stop doing fanart. But no matter what I do, I always feel myself gravitating back towards the snare of drawing other people's ideas and designs.

What doesn't help is the total lack of constructive criticism I get from people around me. They always say how good I am or how awesome my drawings look, but I'm never satisfied.

I need someone to just tear through my shit. Breakdown just how much I suck, so I can begin working from there. Maybe asking for that on deviantART isn't the most logical thing, considering how everyone usually only comments on stuff they like, rather than on stuff that needs improving.

I know I'm not that good. My anatomy is a little iffy, my colors are stupid, my painting skills are lacking, and I can't doodle a backdrop if my life depended on it. I just need someone to tell me the why and how.

Maybe things will be better once I start school back up again, eh?

How do you put a star back in the sky?
Is there a way that a spider can fly?
And why do great clouds sometimes cry?
