I feel like quitting everything..?!


Question: I feel like quitting everything...?
I know no one really cares if I quit drawing or not, but I made a DeviantArt account, and I haven't got any attention. I was looking around at other people's similar drawings, and I realized that I'm not good artist and I will never be, I'm really upset, art has always just been "my thing" it was the only thing I was ever *good* at. I'm just really sad now and I don't know what to do with myself. I know practice makes perfect and I've been practicing, I just can't get any better, I suck and I hate it. Everyone always tells me I'm such a "great artist" but obviously they'll tell me that, no one will tell me I suck because they know it will hurt my feelings. I have nothing to do anymore, I feel like I'm just worthless. I want to kill myself.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
You should have added a link to your deviant art account. I know how you feel. I started college recently, an art college, and today i didnt go in because I hate my work so much i feel embarresed about it. I always get my self down because other peoples work looks better than mine. I'm not exactly the right person to tell you this, but don't beat yourself up over it. All art is different, it is suppose to be different, unique. Maybe you think your work doesn't look as neat or nice as other peoples, but it has a distinct mark on it because your work is unique to everyone elses. Art isn't suppose to look the same, or as good as other peoples. Yours is good becasue it's yours! Each artist has there strenghts and weaknesses.

Now go to your deviant account and look at your work, look at the strongest points and the weakest points. Work on your weakest points and also use your strongest points to make even better work.

also, there are THOUSANDS of people on deviantart, the newest stuff goes off the first page as soon as it gets on there. Maybe find a friend who has a dA account and ask them to take a look at your work. Dont give up!Health Question & Answer

If you're passionate about something, it shows. Obviously peoples' tastes are different - Jim might look at your work and really not like it, whereas Peter might look at your work and absolutely adore it and love it.

If you love art, then why give it up.? I think when you really love something, it really does show in your work - if you've put effort into it, then it is reflected in what you do.

I've never heard of DeviantArt but is this the only thing you've tried.? Have you tried selling some of your work or showcasing it a bit more.? Just because some DeviantArt place doesn't give you attention doesn't mean nobody else will. I've never heard of DeviantArt and I might love your work, but I'll never know, because I haven't had the chance to see any of it. I hope you see where I'm coming from with this and I'm not too confusing!

Stick to what you love. It will prove beneficial to you in the end.Health Question & Answer

Just keep practicing my friend. In the mean time, the best thing to do would be to "vent" your frustrations. I recommend you check out this social networking community called LetsReflect.com. There are people there going through situations similar to yours. They are great for advice and encouragement.
