Why is it so hard to get professional art critique? I live in a state with no ateliers and no reputable art schools, no freelance artists of note who offer instruction, etc. My only option is to pay for overly expensive online courses, but those usually end up being prerecorded videos that you could get for free elsewhere, and if they do come with the perk of a weekly critique, the classes are exponentially more expensive and the critique only goes over the material covered in the class.

I'm at a point in my art where I feel like I've hit a wall. I know what is wrong with my art; I can see where I'm messing up, but knowing and trying to fix it doesn't do anything. It's like my eyes and handa are incapable of replixating what I'm seeong and daily practice gets me nowhere if I keep making the same mistakes over and over again. It really feels like I need some instruction and critique personally tailored for me, as otherwise I'm just absorbing the same Information over and over again and I obviously can't ask a book or video files questions.

Putting art up for critique on image boards and forums is always a gamble; most of the time you'll just get feedback from artists who don't k i.e. what they're doing.

I am so frustrated.
