    Thanks for the advice and support, Jen ^^
    Yeah you are totally right. When an art block was gone, I did found a whole new confidence in myself :)
    I guess that it's just one of those thing that one just have to experience in order to learn something new about themselves.
    But I am so glad that this phase is gone for me, hopefully I won't have to deal with it again anytime soon ^^

    Thanks again Jen! I will try my best :)

    I'm sorry you felt that way. It's never fun to go through a period of self-doubt :Q But you and the people who posted are right. If you look at it the right way, it really does help you to get better. Keep up that positive outlook and know that we're here if you start to falter again. Ganbatte P-man!!

    Mm, I know how you feel! I’ve been really discouraged with my level as an artist too, but you’re absolutely right to keep pressing forward. I was told once that my discontentment was a good sign, that I was looking at my artwork critically and seeing what could use improvement, and that I should let it push me and inspire me to get better. It really helped me to think that way, and I do feel like whenever I hit an artistic slump, I come back from it stronger. I hope that advice can be helpful to you, too! You definitely have a lot of talent so keep at it and don’t let any self-doubt make you stop! I’m so glad you picked up your pencil again

    I've felt like that before, too, P-Man. A lot. So I know where you're coming from. The important thing is that you're fighting that self-doubt.


    Call it karma. Call it luck. Me, I just don't give a... BOUNCE!

    AH I've been through this before, especially when trying out digital style or new techniques, or seeing people who are just SO good, and I can't be like them Dx But everytime I've felt like this, you've been there to cheer me on! So now I'm here, and I want you to know that this art block won't last forever and your confidence will definitely come back cuz you have tons of skill in drawing! Every time you feel like this, you actually end up improving after the block passes, so the main thing is to not worry or stress and just draw when you feel like it, or doodle whatever you want just to keep active with drawing^^ I know you'll find your confidence again soon, I can't wait to see what you do draw when you do <3
