regarding my previous post

Posted by ChronoNG - 1 day ago


I just want to say, thank you. I really needed that advice and help. I genuinely appreciate the stuff you guys said earlier.


I guess I kind of forget I'm still at the starting point and the fact that I'm still only 16 (turning 17 this year). I still have a long way to go as an artist and I think I just need to realize there's no point to compare myself to people with a lot more experience than me when I'm only still just starting.


It's not like I'm in a rush anyway, despite loving doing art I don't really have an interest in turning this into a job (at least right now) and I probably should just chill out and have fun with it by evolving naturally at a pace I can be comfortable with instead of burning myself out completely by trying think I have to "compete" with people who are on a completely different skill level than me and who have had a longer time to grow and develop as artists.


That's not me saying I don't wish to improve at all, it's that I just need to take my time with it instead of forcing it.


I guess I kind of have a problem with when I REALLY get into a hobby, I feel like I HAVE to get good at it quickly instead of just taking my time to understand the basics of it and just having fun with it until i can make or do something that I'm actually happy with or proud of myself, my bad.


Once again thank you, and especially to @ShangXian , I'll definitely keep your advice and suggestions in mind for later, but I'll do it at my own speed instead of forcing it all at once like I was probably going to do.


Thank you guys. :3


Edit: And no, despite what I was gonna do earlier I'm not going to delete the previous, the advice people gave me was super helpful and I don't want to erase it.

It's been a pleasure for me to be of help, even it's a little bit - if you ever need anything else, remember that my PMs are always open.

I'm glad we could help!
I relate to your struggle of wanting to grow to quick a lot. I used to crumple up so many drawings when I first got into drawing as a hobby, I would look at all the imperfections instead of being happy with what looked good. I would hide them away in my scrapped box, my art was stuck at a plateau, it wouldn't get any "better", it wouldn't evolve. Once I got out of that mindset and looked at the good in my work, I found more enjoyment in making art and I got better, slowly but surely, piece by piece they improved, they looked more how I envisioned them, they evolved.

May your art keep evolving with you my friend 💜
