Poison PeoniesHello my name is Lex.
I mostly do character designs and concept art or just a ton of fanart redesign. I am a 100% self taught and the reason I bring that up is because recently haven't been feeling like much of an artist or at least a part of the artist community.
I feel that my artistic abilities not being traditional training makes me a fraud. Like I don't belong here with all these artist that have training and arnt fumbling through trial and error like I have been my whole life with art. I want to share my art with the community because I want to feel as a part of it. I want to see someone say something , anything about my art so I know I belong here. So I know it hasn't been completely detrimental to my art. That just because I didnt have access to art classes and training that I could still be good enough to make this a career one day even though I'm 27.
Thanks for listening! Sorry for the sob story but you know what they say " if you need a hand up... reach out." So it's more my reaching out cause I just need some help to escape my own insecurities, anxiety, and of course depression.May 28, 2021

this is beautiful 
i dont think that what you mentioned makes you any less of an artist btw, and i know me saying that won’t magically change your mind or make you feel better but this is at least what i think.
