Description Her eyes are the same color!

I'm just going to vent a little bit because I'm just a tiny bit down about some things today. Nothing serious! Just normal little things. Also good vent? I'll post the good things in a journal, actually. I started typing it out and it was waYY too long.

But basically today after getting on to Deviantart I realized that I'm still not confident about my art? I don't know why. People seem to like it and I get commissions, but I just really feel insecure about it as a whole. I know the only way to fix that is by practicing, but it's kind of hard to remain positive about it sometimes. I'm trying, though!

I also recently saw a video with an old friend of mine in it, and I felt bad about how I treated them. We were really close, but they were friends with someone I didn't like or trust at the time (we're good now!) and we were going to meet up. But then they gave out my personal info to this person and I blew up at them. They're quite a bit younger than me and I was so angry I just cut them off because I didn't want to deal with them anymore. But I know I was important to them and I feel awful for breaking that off, you know? I've been too afraid to approach them because we haven't talked since the beginning of this year, I think? Maybe the end of last year. It's just something I have to work out on my own, I guess. Oh well!

Also I got locked out of my Skype account for some reason, so I can't talk to anyone until Microsoft gives it back.

That's basically it! Nothing super heavy or whatever. Typing it out made me feel a lot better, so that's all! Sorry if the picture is a little bit messy. :0 I wasn't really putting a whole lot of effort into it since it was supposed to be a quick doodle.

HEy, if you had a friend that gave out your personal information without asking you first, you have every reason to have broken off that relationship.Β

Yeah. I feel like I was reasonable, but I don't want them to think I hate them forever? They kind of broke my trust, but I wish we were on better terms.

Then you have a goal. Get on some good terms with them. Just start with "Hi"

Glad your feeling better!

I kinda feel that way about my art too sometimes. When everybody likes it but you don't? The best way i think to cope with it ( That i surprisingly need to start doing xD ) Β is to test different styles, settings, and ways of doing it and see which one makes you happy. Right now, i see great improvement and unique details in your art, so don't change it too much! :'D

Yeah! At first I thought I hated drawing dogs, but I really just hated trying to work with a style that didn't feel right :0 So I drew crocodilians and birds and stuff and that worked out for a while ^^Β

im glad that typing all of this out made you feel better uwu
im not sure how to help you with the problem your having with your art, but just know that a lot of people really love your work!!
and that your really skilled at what you do ;D;
you could try sending a letter to your friend and explaining stuff there if your nervous about talking to them face-to-face!

I'm glad you are feeling a bit better! Getting to vent does help <3

I personally love your art and your animations! But i understand how it feels when you aren't confident in your art
its like an endless cycle of "hey this is pretty good" to "dang this looks like trash" over and over again lmao

I hope that you work out your past relationship with your old friend!

Heck omg, well first of all let me say that I think your style is really cool! And as long as you feel you're trying your hardest I think you should feel proud of it ; v ; The colors in this are awesome too.
Also it sounds like there's a lot going on, but I'm sorry that you had to go through that troubled friendship. We've all made mistakes in our past, I know i've probably treated friends less than well too, back when I was in middle school. Practically nobody is the same person they were a couple years ago, and tbh I'm happy about that.

Thanks so much! That's really nice of you to say ;v;
It was kind of a mess and on one hand I'm sort of glad I stopped talking to them? At the time. Now I feel like I could handle their energy more and it wouldn't feel all weird and unbalanced aaa

I really just need to muster up the courage to say that I really am sorry for what happened, even if we don't continue to talk again. I just need closure rip

Goldshake In reply to EpicLPSWolf [2016-12-07 04:19:16 +0000 UTC]

Look at the little flop flop
It's actually not that messy now that I look at it :0 I did a lot of stuff more zoomed out that I usually do, so assumed there would be a mistake or two that I missed. Guess not! And don't say that, your art is really cute!
