i went through my gallery and noticed how much i've evolved in my art. all these pictures that i thought were my best work before, now seem so...lame, for lack of a better term. and the weirdest thing is that you never notice it until you make comparisons. i have kept all my old art since i was twelve just for that purpose. everytime i fell utterly terrrible as an artist, i pull out my old stuff and do before and afters. surprisingly, it makes me feel better. but now i feel as though i hit a wall, and my pictures are starting to look like my old ones, and i don't see them evolving anymore.
i think the best way to get me out of this rut is to take requests. i'll take the first five that are memoed (only memoed) to me. hopefully i can expand myself by doing this. i really want to get better so that people will know who i am by what i draw.
wow...that was wordy.

This kind of sounds like artist's block, maybe you need to take a break?*shrugs*

i've always noticed how my art evolves too, and it can make you feel alot better if you feel like your art sucks. i just took a glimpse at your art board, and i think your art is evolving. but you don't feel that way....i'd love to request from you if you'll feel better after someone does :) so i'm gonna memo you now

youre not in a rut, not going downhill etc. it does seem like artists block, and a break may be needed to refuel. no artists really ever goes downhill (except in old age) just take a little hiatus maybe.

Er.. yeah. That's whats been happening to me lately. What I have been doing is trying to collab with everyone I can. I like your idea of what you are doing. That's what I did. I hope you feel better. I know exactly what you are saying!
