Genuinely curious, how many of you are happy with most of the art you make? I wonder if I'll ever get to a point of liking my work or if it's just natural to always see mistakes in your own stuff. I notice when I've improved, but I never feel completely satisfied.

probably. but i think you worry about it less.
Fair enough! I appreciate it ^^
I've been drawing since 13 and i'm nearly 21 now. and i've disliked my works for most of that time. even now, i think my works aren't that good and get very little out of finishing a drawing.
I'm sorry you don't find much satisfaction in your work :< I've been told that there's a balance that we need to reach, where you appreciate what you can do now while also acknowledging you can do better next time. It's hard to balance sometimes though, especially when you're constantly unhappy with the end product. I do hope you keep on trying though!
Thanks. i wish the same to you. and i just realized you weren't scouted this entire time, so i thought i'd help. good luck with your future works!
It... took awhile, during my teens and early twenties I was always comparing to others and downing my own stuff. I'm not sure what changed, but not long after that I just stopped caring, possibly because I've come to accept the type of person I am and how that affects the drawings I do, sooo personal acceptance for me? I still can't say for sure. I love everything I do now, even if I don't draw as much it's just a more pleasant feeling to be positive about yourself and your own creations. Maybe it's the competitive nature that's stronger when you're young, I just don't feel that nearly as much anymore, but I feel better for it.
Honestly, that's kind of what I hope happens to me as well. I do feel less self conscious than I did when I was still a teenager! More acceptance and less competition is something I should work on. I appreciate your response! :D

i keep dissing on my while other people say it looks good, but the reason is because i know i can do better. seeing mistakes is important for progress so you know what to fix next time, but you shouldn't let them stop you drawing. take time to also think about what you did that was good.

That's true, I find myself picking out things I know I've improved on with new pieces as well as mistakes. It's important to know what you can do better. So you believe it's something I'll worry about as an artist forever?
