How to stop being neurotic about your art?
How to stop being the artist that deletes their entire gallery overnight for no reason?

Start by
1. Accepting the fact that you will always suck no matter the skill level you achieve. You set the expectation that your pieces must age like fine wine in your eyes, otherwise they are not worth keeping. But your natural progress will constantly find flaws in the new pieces, let alone the old ones, your improvement conditions that all pieces will age like spoiled eggs, so why bother setting such a high expectation?
2. Seeing your art journey as a dirt path and each art piece you make is a tile you place forward. Eventually you will have the urge to look back and you'll feel happiness when you realize your tiled path gets lost in the horizon behind and the quality of your tiles has improved since the first one to place. Your art journey is a path you always move forward, sometimes behind, but you will always be on the move, so why not keeping track of every tile you place?

I'm so glad I'll never understand this mental illness.

Another whiny faggot thread. Nobody cares about your or you """art"""
>>
Meds or becoming schizophrenic with religion
That, or past a certain age you just stop caring, but you'd rather solve your mental health before that happens because you'd have wasted all those years otherwise

I dont know. I just delete my entire gallery because I'm eccentric
>>
>>7372281
how is it humanly possible to draw a forshortened arm like that WITHOUT copying photos
>>
>>7372281
go on deviantart and look at the autists who draw absurd or nonsensical stuff while beliving in it 100%. Stuff like anime girls edited to have 3 eyes or some shit like that. They're expressing their desires and took it upon themselves to create something they can't find anywhere else, and you're here questioning yourself about whether or not you deserve to create art.

I'm not saying those deviantart autists are bad, I'm saying that you should feel their passion and try to remember when you looked at your own art that way.

This is solid advice. It doesn't erase the insecurity fully, but it does help. I'm more inspired by artists who acceptable stuff and obscene stuff simultaneously because they truly draw what they want and what they see in their daily life.

You should NECK YOURSELF, FUCKING INTERNET DELETER
THOSE WERE MY MEMORIES, AND NOW YOU'VE STOLEN THEM FROM ME, I CAN NEVER SEE THAT DRAWING AGAIN BECAUSE MR PISSYPANTS HAD A BAD DAY

Absolute barbaric behavior, a wrecker of nations. Not in a cool way, in a megagay way.

You can usually just ask them to DM it to you

Its part of the process so just trust it
>>
>>7372405
Simple
You memorize the photos

>>7372508
It happened to me yesterday. It happens to 99% of twitter artists without fail. Imagine how many good content from the past 10 years has been lost forever by now.

>>7372551
What's this? High school? I'm not going out of my way to plead someone I don't even know for their past work.
>>
>>7372405
Foreshortening in cartoon styles like that is easier than you think. You just draw the hand very big and the arm sorta big. I really doubt the artist even considered using perspective for that.

>>7372281
Just get therapy to overcome your boring drama perfectionism

>>7372405
Construction
Then you do it by accumulated skill without construction
