Not sure how to explain this fully, but does anyone else ever see other amazing artists and feel a little bad about themselves? I know this is a common thing in art, but for me personally I have been told by family, friends and even people I barely know that my art is wonderful and I should even consider doing comissions and stuff. I recognise I have talent and I am genuinely proud of myself, but I can never "love" my art. I always notice things I can do better, but when it comes to improving I find it so hard to push myself to practice more. I start so many drawings that never get past the sketch phase because I know as soon as I try to finish it I will completely lose the motivation.
I feel like I am in a weird place with my art where I don't think it's BAD, but I also don't feel like it's good ENOUGH. Does that make sense??? I am still studying Game Design right now and I am not super sure where I want to go next. I keep saying "something visual", like concept artist or something, but I think I lack the confidence in myself to truly pursue art as a career, even though deep down I know I would really like to. I was just wondering if anyone had any advice or even shared similar experiences/feelings on the topic. Hope you are all havin a great day <3
