@altiariia's post on Artfol

I feel so discouraged about art atm. I have to just rant a bit to somewhere.

I feel like my art is literally so boring and bland, and I’ve been following a strict aesthetic for my art style because of instagram. I can’t break free out of this box, because I feel like I’ll never achieve my dreams of being a freelance illustrator. I feel like I’m never going to get a chance to work on my art full time, and have a patreon and supporters and people who get inspired by my art.

Anyone feel the same way?

Maybe take some time to stop posting online and only draw things for yourself for a bit. Try new things, explore outside of your aesthetic, and just draw whatever you want without the stress of having to show anyone. Sometimes you have to take a break to rediscover the joy of drawing for fun.
It ebbs and flows. Break it down. What do YOU want to do? Don’t limit yourself because of IG
