i’m so jealous of people who look at Amazing Art and get inspired/excited to continue making art themselves cause like

sometimes i see Art So Good that i’m just like

“that’s it. i quit. Art has peaked. i got nothing to contribute”

cause like i kno that tumblr people are always talking like “if you say that you’re giving up art because someone else happens to be better than you then you are a jerk and a defeatist!!!111!!!” and u know what ? they’re probably right so maybe it’s just my mental illness talking but ??? sometimes I see Such Good Art and i’m just like... ‘gotta hang up my hat now folks’ and slow clap myself out

#funky's personal tag #don't//////reblog/////because////thisisjust acallout post for myself because #i'm always super insecure about my art and like i DO have a defeatist attitude whachugoing to do about it #but this ain't even about being 'The Best' or anything #i guess it's more like??? idk sometimes I see art (especially from young artists) and I'm just so blown away and proud of them but #I can't help but feel like my art will never improve like their's seems to every five minutes and #it's like ???? :|#yeah i know that's a bad attitude but #i think it's a problem that happens when you take art classes/college/etc like you get in this #if I'm not the best i'm crap kind of mentality and it's honestly really defeating #but anyway #i'm hoping i'm going through that stage in my Art Skillz (lol) where i'm just like 'my art is crap!!11!!' and then #i get a breakthrough and like my art again bUT i gotta go through the slow grueling pain of #working on my fundamentals to get to that point so #anyway this is a mess of a post thanks #delete later #calling myself out on my own bullshit but i can't help what i feel lmao #anyway please ignore i'm probably gonna delete this and I'm not asking for #compliments or anything i just need to wallow in self pity and self loathing bc #i'm just a big pile of insecurity when it comes to my creative endeavors and that's #like 78% why i've pretty much completely given up doing anything creative for money/a career #lol #also i have like. no one to talk about this with irl??#bc most people i know irl seem to somehow thinK?? I'm somehow super talented?? 😂#so they don't. get it? i guess #anyway I just needed somewhere to let loose some of these frustrations--gonna delete this post probs bc #I'm Pathetic (tm)
