Most of us artists have quite a lot in common, so I created some quick comics artists can relate to.
So let's laugh (and cry) together.

Can't Just Be Me?
Ugh tell me about it. You think you created your best work yet, and then you see some Instagram art that makes yours look like a five-year-old drew it -_-
Or when you put effort into it and love the results and publish it on the internet and then you get the comment: "Nice sketch!"
Load More Replies...Whenever i think i drew a really good picture i see all the other artists i follow on instagram and then i realise how mush more i need to improve
I sometimes feel like this, but then I remember Picasso's cubism and Jackson Pollock's works and then I keep doing my thing.
The worst thing is when you realize this thing DURING the creation of the artwork...
I had to make a comic for a class. I thought mine was great. Then I saw my friend's comic and legit almost started crying.
The Only Time You've Been Relevant
Me: "NO, I'm NOT going to do it for you!" Classmate: "But I can't draw anything, and you're such a good artist! Pleeeeasee?" Repeat.
When teachers says that there will be a group work of drawing : *(Wanna join my group plz?)*
I'm the "creative" kid, so I can relate. I suck at drawing, tho
I hate when that happens. people come up to acting nice just to get you to draw something for them, like, draw it yourself I'm sure the teacher has seen worse than what you can draw
I Wasn't Even Sure About This Very Comic
And I Was Seriously Convinced That Is Was The Best Idea Ever...
I forget or complain I didn't have something to write it on, but most of it comes from dreams and you wake up, you can't remember what you dreamed again.

A lot of times I have a gacha life idea because I’m a kid but my phone is at my dad’s house and I only see him on weekends so that means I have to remember it for 5 whole days trying not to forget😡
I do this! I like creating jewelry, and sometimes I get ideas like this
It's Not That Healthy I Guess
Am I the only one that doesn't care I get paint in my drink, I'll drink it anyways?
I used to have a little cauldron for my paint water, and we had an art project at school so I brought it, later I realized I had forgotten my water bottle so during snack time I filled my cauldron with water, it was kinda blueish green from the paint residue but I drank it anyways, I ended up vomiting
I had to hide the turpentine bottle because I kept reaching for it thinking it was water...
If You're One Of Those Artists That Struggle With Depression
I don't get that far, I don't have the motivation or concentration. I try my hardest then it turns out bad because i'm feeling awful. ...
...i'm hoping that things might start getting better soon! Thoughts go to anyone else who is suffering <3
Load More Replies...yea, ive been in depression a lot, and I must say, wanted to kill myself.
I have many problems and one of them includes major depression. I simply just draw a picture and include the message of my mood somewhere within it. Whether it'd be an anime character or a landscape.
I Once Tried To Zoom Into My Paper. Why.
Sometimes (Not just in art or digital art) I want to use it in my life
Load More Replies...Sometimes I try and draw on paper and then ill double click thinking i can undo something-
At another level I have the same kind of thing when I'm reading a "real" book instead of my kindle, I'm keeping my finger on a word for the dictionary... Then I realize :D
I was reading a pamphlet the other day and caught myself wanting to enlarge it with my fingers.
I know how it feels, being an artist with depression-and I'm sure a bunch of other pandas do too- especially when you take your best work, and then look at it next to some hyper realistic piece of sorcery someone posted on here, and wonder how the hell people do it, how are they so good? Why can't I do this? And then this sends one into that big old downward spiral of self-worthlessness, thinking "what is the point?" "I suck at everything" "Why am I alive?" At these times it's easy to make the mistake of thinking you are the most pointless waste of time, but you gotta remember: The point of art is not making it look super goodamn hyper frickin' realistic, that's what cameras are for- Art is meant to send a message, to express ones feeling, and life experiences, and you can do this no matter how good of an artist you are. You've captured this ideal brilliantly, Jen, remember you're not alone in any of this. I hope you're okay, I really do. Your art is gorgeous, and we love you. Peace.
Thank you for your lovely comment :)
