I've tied my entire identity to this. Yet, I'm not good enough. I keep meeting people who are way more skilled than I am and I just resent myself so much for being depressed and stopping for a while. Maybe i could have been better, I could have shared my art online and be proud of it.
But no.
For years I was too afraid to even pick up a pencil and now I'm left with the consequences of it.
I'll never be good enough. What's the point???!
I met this 15 year old prodigy that drew so well and after that encounter I was left feeling like a failure.
I know everybody has their own path but why does mine have to be so long and tedious??? Why can't mine be like theirs? I hate myself so much and i genuinely hate the garbage and produce.

I won't show these anywhere else, what's the point? They are even incomplete. I'm just going to share them here so as little people see them.
I dont even know why im doing this.
I dont know what to do anymore.

This is quite good. You can get even better if you focus on anatomy. Look into manga materials instagram and patreon.

I've worked with very skilled professional artists, and they've all seen even more skilled artists as a source of inspiration and awe - something to study and learn from.
What are you trying to accomplish? Good enough for what?

Good enough for myself. For my high standards. I know we should lower our expectations but I can't help it.
