You know what? This offended me. I could easily nitpick it and give you a list of things to work on if you really want, but if you're going to be like that, what's the point? Even in the short time I've been aware of your art I can tell that you've improved quite a bit, and I do think it's a good picture. But when you say stuff like that it's like you've just completely invalidated my opinion. And if you're going to do that, why would you ask for it in the first place?
Lots of people dream of being able to put the image in their head down on paper but most don't have the motivation to even try, so you're already leaps and bounds ahead of most people. I just hate it when people are all down on themselves about their work. God, imagine if they treated other people the way they treat themselves? Part of the problem is that they can't look at it objectively. If someone showed you a picture they'd done with this same level of skill, I'm 99.9999999999% sure you'd tell them it was great. It's awesome to want to improve your stuff but that's not the same thing as pissing all over it. You obviously tried really hard and you've done well with the talent you have. Why is that not enough?
"Shamed the characters and their creator"? Really? Really.
I'm sorry if I offended you. I thought I locked this entry.
I don't really feel like arguing... I was really upset when I wrote this. Jealous I guess. Everyone I know who draws has improved past me and even my one friend, who has only been drawing for 4 years, is better than me. I been drawing all my life... and she's way better than me and doesn't draw for months and somehow improves dramatically. I feel left behind in all aspects of my life.... so I was very stressed when writing this.
I'm sorry I was a total bitchface. I don't want to argue either, but it genuinely upset me and I couldn't think of a nicer way to phrase what I wanted to say (Uni did a perfect job of it down there though).
That was really horrible of me, I'm sorry. But I meant what I said and I hope that my delivery won't prevent you from taking the message to heart, either way.
No, I need to be slapped on the hands every once in a while.
I know I should be happy with what I got but, I mean, I really try sometimes to get better... and I even made sure I made everything in this myself, including the wood.... and somehow it just still feels lacking to me. I asked and asked people I knew who drew better and no one seemed to care enough to crit me. They draw better... they color better.... and yet had nothing to tell me to assist in improving. I- I guess wish I could give up sometimes.
I guess my expectations are too high for myself.
It was taken to heart, don't worry. I feel really embarrassed acting like a fool.
Like I said, it's great that you want to improve and that you're putting so much effort into it. And believe me, I know how goddamned frustrating it is when it feels like nothing's changing. Makes you want to kick puppies and flip tables. And boy does it piss you off when you ask for help and no one will give it to you. I know the feeling! That's not the problem. The reason I was so upset was because...well, reread the first part of my initial response.
Anyway, it doesn't matter. I'm sorry, you're sorry, we're a happy family- wait, I don't think that's how the song goes...
UH. Just try to cheer up, don't be so down! SMIIILLLEE
