some thoughts on my art (reposted from fa and facebook so ignore if you'd like) by vibgyorc6

i'll be honest. i'm really not pleased with my current artistic output. i feel i'm just not putting much effort into my work and it's just not as good as it could (or should) be. it really only takes me about 30 minutes on average to produce some of the art i make. and i post literally everything i make online, usually as soon as the paint dries. i could almost mass produce my own art if i wanted to. but i don't, because i want to produce high quality art, and in my opinion, very few works of mine are high quality. i could do much better than i do now, but i don't. i just don't have the patience to take my time and produce GOOD art. and i feel really bad about that. and you know, it's funny how i'm always saying that i'd love to showcase my art in a gallery or sell prints online, yet my art really isn't worthy of either option. i'm just so annoyed with myself and i cant seem to produce good art. some of my best works were my first canvas paintings, but that's only because i didn't want to waste expensive canvases on terrible art. and even then, a couple of those paintings really weren't all that great, in my opinion. i want to improve, but i just don't have the patience.

      i'm not gonna quit. i'm just frustrated at how i'm not improving. i do plan on improving, i just don't know how. i just wanted to do a little rant before i actually start improving.

        i feel like as long as you continue to make art you will improve if you are self-aware

    When I'm stuck with my writing, I try something completely different with it: different genres, different styles, even different mediums, from pencils to index cards. Do something wildly different with your art. Maybe it'll give you a fresh outlook on your work! :D

    The best tip I ever got was "make friends with failure." Basically meaning, keep producing, dont be afraid to make ugly/bland shit and dont be disparaged from it. When you start getting one thing right, move on to fail at something else. The bigger the mountain of failure you sit upon, the higher you'll rise! :)
