People that act as if they’re serious artists

wanting to be professionals when they do nothing but mediocre doodles and then turn around and whine and cry about their lack of skill and praise are fucking pathetic.

Sorry but I can’t take you seriously if your gallery is full of the same shit over and over, floating in blank space. No visible attempts at any sort of challenge or movement outside of your comfort zone whatsoever. No visible attempts at complex poses, foreshortening, character interaction, varied expressions, no fucking backgrounds or any sort of semblance of a completed scene. No experimentation with stylization, color, technique.

Sorry but I can’t take you seriously if it’s fucking summer vacation and you can’t seem to produce more than one “decent” image a week. You’re capable of being more fucking productive than that.

There’s a reason other people are better than you, and it’s because they fucking worked for it. They didn’t sit around on tumblr all day bashing others with their friends, stalking someone’s deviantart pageviews and pulling their hair in frustration everytime has more favorites/watchers/fans/commissions than them. They don’t upload something and then sit in the corner and cry about giving up on art because they didn’t recieve enough praise to stroke their ego. Chances are they know that all of that garbage is a huge fucking pointless waste of time.

How often do you draw for 6 hours straight? I’m not talking about the “Oh man I’ve been drawing all day!! (but actually I take a break every five fucking minutes and go hop on tumblr/deviantart for half an hour)” crap. I’m talking about actually stepping away from all of your social media circlejerking bullshit and actually drawing for 6 hours straight and your arm/wrist/fingers hurt like hell and you forgot to eat dinner but you don’t give a shit because you can’t stop drawing.

How often do you actually move outside of your comfortzone and honestly try to get better at shit instead of spending all day hating yourself because your art fucking sucks. Guess what, you’re going to keep being a mediocre shit artist until you actually work on not being a mediocre shit artist.

I know I come off as a huge arrogant asshole right now, but I’m honestly hoping this will fucking help you. 
Quit whining and get your shit together.
