Hi /adv, i'm 22, drawing in a drawing school and whenever

Human beings are selfish creatures that could not give two shits about anyone else further than it affects themselves.

Your life is meaningless and will be forgotten.

No one cares that you exist, so exist however you want to exist. Draw what you want.

You are attaching your ego and your self-worth to your work.

It is good to feel a sense of pride an accomplishment, and pain and failure when doing a work.

However, you constantly need to be outside yourself when it comes to your work. Be objective.

What is your goal when creating the work? Is it praise and applomb, a pat on the back, recognition? Then all you are is a hooker looking for a John.

If you want to be the best drawer, then you need to expose yourself to criticism constantly. CONTSANTLY. otherwise you'll forever be a second-rate hack.

Does this process suck? Yes. Absolutely. But if you want to be better you have to tough it out. Your ability to become a better drawer comes solely down to the choices you make. If you constantly run from challenges and criticism then your choices will reflect in the poor standard and quality of your work. If you embrace them you will suffer but your work will improve.

Whatever your choice, own it, and don't blame others for it. That's loser attitude.

I don't think i totally agree with what you said

exposing yourself to criticism is important, but most of the time people complain without really knowing what's the problem.

And is craving recognition really that bad? Isn't it natural?

everything is serious when youre starting out because youre figuring yourself out. give it some time, keep getting better, try different things, dont quit and eventually you wont care anymore and it will just be fun

Well i'm at my fifth year in that school and it didn't get any better... The pressure is still there.

if you would draw what you want to draw there's a good chance your work will improve right ? you'll enjoy it more which will reflect in your drawings

>How do i stop being a little bitch?
Logic.

Others will always judge, they will either judge your sucking or judge you for doing something you want. The latter is preferable.
