kihlophix 1,138 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I'm actually quite ashamed of this portrait, because all I can see is the errors in it (like the cheek for example), so no need to criticize it. It took forever to finish this portrait because I've been struggling a depression for a couple of months now, so to me finishing this portrait, was a success worth celebrating a bit. Everything inside of me wants to throw away my art and never touch it again, but therapy has taught me to not listen to that and do the opposite, showing it and keeping it and keep drawing even if I might just do a few pencil strokes a day, if I do draw just a few strokes, that is a successful day. God I'm getting an anxiety attack posting this drawing here, because I cannot stop comparing my self to others and there are so many out there way better than me. But I really really need to remind my self that I've only been drawing for 10 months. and to stop comparing my self to others... THAT is the hardest part.

ryanripley 86,575 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 don't be ashamed but any errors you notice are your opportunities to become a better artist everyone is their own biggest critic, some of my own work that i despise tend to be rather popular https://goo.gl/xMgMvJ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

doja scat 14,186 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 omg don’t be so hard on yourself. your shading is impeccable! I wish I could make my drawings look so realistic And so what if it doesn’t look exactly like her? You’re the artist and you made your representation of Gaga, even if it didn’t meet your expectations it’s gorgeous! don’t get stabbed with the rat tooth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
