Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

I'm just really tired of trying so hard to become better for the past 8 or so years and still feeling like a mediocre artist, I know that's dramatic but there seems to be an invisible barrier I can't seem to break past to where I'd be happy with my style.
More examples of my art
And a bunch on my instagram
Any consistent problems or issues you see? Be honest Im a big boy and can handle it
I like the style, it's very emotive and expressive. I can tell you have fun making art and it makes it fun to look at. A lot of your pieces on instagram feel like an experience to partake in, and I enjoy that. Here are somethings that prove to give returns to an artist of any years; fundamentals.
Draw from life. Basic things to start, but something you don't mind looking at. The fun is what your eyes see, the object, so pick one you like.
Use reference until you don't have to, then keep using it. I see that the more you rely on imagination the more amateur it looks to me.
Figure drawing; gesture/studies. Anatomy, proportion. (weakest)
Perspective. (strongest)
Shapes. Form. Shadow. Light.
It has been fun looking through your work. You are really quite good and should be more patient with your progress.
Thank you I'll keep at it, I just finished a huge project so I'm a bit off my training schedule but hopefully Ill get back on soon
