Indefinite Hiatus

by
Hello everyone,

I don't feel like my art has gotten anywhere near where it needs to be in terms of quality. I post basically nothing due to my own guilt of not producing anything good and it's consumed my entire life. I'm not satisfied with anything I do in any aspect of my life as a result. I can't even be around other artists without feeling unworthy of breathing the same air, and therapy has only been able to do so much about that. I don't exactly have an art teacher either, nor the funds to hire one. People ahead of me are a dime a dozen and easy to find anywhere, so as it currently stands, I've failed at my promise to meet or exceed the quality of art the old guard of Poképorn did. Something went wrong in how I approached art, and instead of struggling on to be the best just the way I have, I feel I need to relearn how to draw to achieve that goal.

I will be taking an indeterminate amount of time to relearn to draw- starting from construction and then learning basically everything else again- to better meet the promise I made to everyone in the Poképorn community around the world. The fate of my craft depends on me as I'm sure no one else has the balls to tell Nintendo's legal team to go play in traffic and jump into an active volcano, so eventually I'll be back. I just don't know when that will be. I'll have to make passable art that doesn't take me forever, even if not great at first. I'm struggling to draw literally everything ranging from basic shapes to rough sketches to even coloring anything I've made, which is unacceptable to meet my goal.

If you message me here, I'll still check my messages and respond to them. I promise each and every one of you that someday I'll be back, and that I'll be a far better artist when I return.

This might not help much, but it sounds like you are being too hard on yourself. High standards are fine - but how you approach them matters even more. Being too hard on yourself is counterproductive and will probably hinder your progress, or the very least, will make reaching the goal feel dissatisfying.

There are better ways to go about it, which I have personally seen work with far better results in my own life. However, I don't think it's my place to breach since we don't know each other and I don't know if you'd even want to hear it.
Regardless, I hope the best for you, however way you choose to continue!
