Stop torturing yourself, Gomez ... that's my job.

Naw - you're a talented man. We all have problems viewing our own work. And despite your thoughts, I enjoyed that card you posted for the holiday.

Hey I wish I can draw like you. I couldn't draw a paper bag, stop putting yourself down my friend. HUGS!!!

Art is in the eye of the beholder.

I liked the card. :-) And no, I'm not just saying that.

Standards, especially in the art world, are what you make them, what you can defend, and what people will like. There was a guy 20 years ago that made paintings - that sold for tens of thousands of dollars! - by putting the canvas in the backwash of a jet engine and throwing cans of paint in the wind stream.

You have better technique. :-)

My ex of 12 years was an artist so I have a lot of experience with the art community. In my experience, artists are ALWAYS their own harshest critics. If you can channel your critical eye to improve how you perceive your art, then by all means do so, but don't use the criticism to beat yourslef up.
