I used to be brimming with confidence in making it in digital art but now I have almost none, I have no real thoughts that I will be someone relevant and successful in the future, even as I make steady gains in my own art and continue improving.

It seems to me that if I want to rival the artists I look up to, I have to have an unreal level of business and social acumen, and that worries the fuck out of me a lot more than my art.

Anyone else feel the same, if so, can you share any experiences regarding this or maybe solutions?

Same here, what's more. I don't even like art but I still do it 6 hours a day. If I money I'd leave art behind, get my pilots license and do nothing but fly as much as possible.


You can always take solace in the fact that no matter how much confidence you have, (or lack of it) if you grind fundamentals like a Madman, you'll get good no matter what, and good gets paid.

It's OK anon.

You can join the countless ranks of other hopeless, insecure anons who waste their time here shitting on other artists while they wait for their unscheduled visit from the angel of death...

Or you can leave this place and start seeking productive help.

Why do you want to be relevant and successful in the future?

Post work.

You need to take a break from the internet (the whole internet) for at least a couple weeks.

Just turn off the modem and put it away. This shti happens because you're looking at other people's art / social media activity 24/7. The human brain isn't meant to withstand this constant hammering, you should zone out and think about your work.

It feels SO much better, Anon. And no it won't make you blind to your shitty art or anything like that.

It's simply who I am. Back in school, I always tried my hardest in my classes and on sports teams. Even when playing video games, I always preferred competitive games over casual, relaxed ones.

I don't want to make art just a hobby because the less effort I put into something, the less fun it is for me.

The difference here is that I'm finally coming to terms with the sheer scope of what I want to accomplish this time, and it has me sweating buckets.

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
