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!"

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...

    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.

    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

    As a writer, this is the opposite of what goes through my head. There is nothing new under the sun - so if it seems original to me, I start to get worried. "Good writers borrow from other writers, great writers steal outright."

    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.

    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 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.
