i hope you don’t mind me dropping an ask, my reply was too long for the post 😭 hsjsjsk

but anyway, i know how you’re feeling and i’m sorry you feel like this ;; the thing that sucks about art is that it’s a journey; i forget the post exactly but your taste (what you WANT to draw) develops faster than your skills (what you CAN draw) , so it can be incredibly frustrating when you get stuck in a spot where you can visualize what you want to draw, but you can’t ‘translate’ it to the canvas. i’ve been there many times, and the best advice i have is to practice by tracing stock photos and those free to use art bases if there’s something in particular you’re struggling with. i’ve found that it’s really helped me when i felt stuck on something; the reason i can competently draw muscles is because i practiced tracing stock images of body builders to get used to the way the lines move and to gain that ‘muscle memory’ for drawing them. the jojo’s style is the same way i’ve found; it’s incredibly frustrating to copy, but tracing screencaps and settai sheets is the best way to get used to copying it.

i know it can be frustrating when you’re surrounded by other artists, but it will come to you!! it sounds cliche, but practice really is the most important thing ;w;

i’ve said it before but i love seeing how your art has progressed, and i’m excited to see where your skills will be in the future ♡ i’m always around if you ever need pointers on things too ;w;

Oh my gosh I'm so sorry for the late reply but thank you so much for reaching out to me through the asks Kat !!! 🥺💗

I completely understand the psychology behind that feeling bc that's EXACTLY how it feels! 😭 I put off so many projects and ideas bc my skill level didn't catch up yet and that's what gets me down to not be able to do them immediately. It fr is a terrible feeling and I can imagine how much frustration you had to go through 🫂but thank you so much for the advice!!! Honestly I thought of tracing stock images before but I was afraid of committing theft??? IDK AKSJDB like esp with the free bases tho I did end up using them for some artowrks I'm doing now ! I'll do that again to better my understanding of some anatomy I even got a pdf of an anatomy study book for it kajbsd I did try making a jojo style Foca using that method it didn't turn out good but I'll try again ! ;w; I haven't used the settei sheets before tho I think I'll check out some of the female characters ones! I really hope so !!! it's the reason I keep practicing honestly plus it's not a bad thing like other artists like you and my peers inspire me a lot !!!! I guess it's sometimes discouraging bc my social anxiety keeps me from getting into like jojo oc communities like the one on IG even if I really badly wish some day Foca would be accepted into it 😔

Thank you so much !!! 😭💗💗that's so kind of you omg I'll def hit you up if I need help with one thing or another I know I'm a bit scared to bother ppl in the DMs but I'll be brave about it KBAJSBD
