Do you have any advice for like a beginner beginner artists whose art looks like so poor that they know it looks so bad and everyone hates it - like.... A way to handle that? I became secretive with my art, tried to share it once and go mocked by one person who admitted they laughed at it and now all I can obsessively think about is how bad my art is whenever I pick up my drawing tablet to try learn.... I feel like I should try draw things I like but when I struggle because I'm a beginner whose shit at basically every art skill (perspective & angles) I find I can't draw for fun either and wondered if you had any advice???
Hey there honey!
I'm so sorry that folks have acted that way, it's not on to do that to new artists! Do your best to ignore them and I'd recommend collecting art you ADORE!
Find new artists and see what it is that you like about their art, is it how they do hair, how they draw smiles? How they colour, how their lines flow? My art is just, genuinely in my opinion, a collection and amalgamation of art I have admired and loved over the years, blended and shaped into my own style.Take in and Absorb what it is they do, and see if that works with what you want to create.
And also, just read and experience new art! You've got to breathe IN (take in media/art) to breath OUT (to create your own). I take breaks to read new comics and see new art at least once a month, it helps bring your creativity back! And take art breaks, don't burn yourself out!!
Create whatever you want to make. Cringe only exists in other folks heads, make whatever you like! Fanart, original characters, landscapes!! Whatever YOU want.
And perhaps, just while you're gaining confidence, show your art to folks you know care about you and your feelings! Good folks won't rip you down for no reason. Feel free to show me some of your art, I might not reply right away, but I'll do my best!
Look after yourself anon!
