Cry Baby

Journal Entry: Wed May 12, 2004, 8:39 AM
Well I am thoroughly embarrassed by that last journal entry of mine. I feel like such a cry baby. I won't ever give up, and i think I have a new refreshed out look on art and drawing. I posted a pic on Penciljack, and asked them to "tear it apart". Becareful what you wish for is all I have to say. But I am so glad they did. People aren't always 100% honest because they might come across as rude or mean, but when you can get the straight up truth you really can improve upon your art. People told me things I might never had heard if I didn't give them permission to lay it on as thick as possible. This is ramblings but I guess I know what I mean.

Hey Senshi, I feel exactly the same way. I try harder and harder each time, but never improve. I'm just as frustrated as you are. It seems I'll only ever be really good at one thing: swords. That's about it.
Still though, even if I DO suck, I can't give up. Because, if I do that, then the worst possible thing has played itself out: everything I've already done has become meaningless.

Don't give up hope!

Hey, Senshi...I wouldn't be too hard on yourself because crits are just crits. You think about any comic book pro and they'll get crits. I think crits can be constructive and other times really demoralizing.

The best advice I can give you is work on your weaknesses. If you really thought you sucked you wouldn't be keeping at it. It's self worth that drives you. Sorry about the rant but I understand the way you feel.

Peace.

Hey thanks for your comment. I really need to update my journal... I posted this such a long time ago. I think I've grown a lot since then and I know that I can't get so easily discouraged. Thanks again for your advice.
