Many people feel down about their own artwork compared to others.

How do you stay inspired to keep drawing? What keeps you going? What do you do to stop yourself getting too down and giving it all up?

I like to look at the oldest pieces in Deviant Artist's galleries and watch how they have grown and improved over the years. Sometimes I contact them to ask how they do certain techniques. But mainly, I smile and think about how much they've improved and then think that I could improve like that too. It just takes practice and hard work. Granted, you won't become amazing in 5 seconds. But with perseverance, it's possible.

I mean, there are SO MANY drawings, sketches, doodles and studies that never make it into DA galleries and so it looks like they are just naturally amazing. But that's not true! Those people work really hard by looking at tutorials, studying form, and practising until their hands hurt! I'm sure if you contact them, they probably have felt just as down about their own artwork as you might about yours. Perhaps they still do. We are not so different!

I'd love to hear what keeps you motivated. Perhaps we can share some tips and techniques for staying positive ^^

As the title says... I need to improve my CG skills as I have a little project I'm working on. My CG colouring skills are just awful and I thought perhaps someone here might have some good tutorials to recommend! 

It doesn't matter if it's in video format or panels... I'm ready to learn!

Please, please help me if you can :pray:

Hello!

I post regular updates and works in progress, as well as silly doodles and sketches on my Facebook page

At at the moment I'm only putting my more finished works on Deviant Art. I did make a tumblr but I'm such a noob, I have no idea where to start >.< if anyone could lend a hand! that'd be great! :D

But in the meantime, most of my activity is going down in the book of face :D

Hope you're enjoying a nice week!
