Posted at July 10, 2006, 8:36 pm: Weird question I know (especially for a first post, hopefully I dont put off some people by this), but I have a problem and I think that it wont happen, but it just keeps happening over and over again. Basically, I get depressed about my art. (sorry if people dont like hearing emo topics but I gotta seek some help). It always happens, lasts for a while, than goes away. Sure, it goes away, but for the time that I have it im in agony. Im just simply, depressed art wise. Aaaand, basically, I am in it now. I shouldnt be depressed, I know. I know. I should try and get better, keep drawing, make myself feel better take crazy medications to change my mood/ go talk in therapy. Yeah. Maybe therapy sounds like a good idea. Anyway, im depressed because I think what im doing is basicallly comparing myself to others and usually those 'others' are people (usually peers) who are far better than me. What can I do to stop doing this? What can I tell myself? Also, another problem, is this whole originality thing. Its SO hard to be original these days! Dx I try to draw something, I feel like its the most original thing ive done so far, and than I see someone else has already used the idea, before or after me, and they are usually artists who much more, well, popular, or well-known than I can ever wish to be. Its so saddening, I just want to become more original, more better, but I can never seem to compare to some other big artists out there. There is one thing I tell myself that makes me feel a little better (someone told me this). That sometimes, when we do good things, it tends to go unnoticed or receives little appreciation than what it really should. I really hope someone out there can help get me out of this art slump mood ): Original of the message was taken from http://www.conceptart.org/forums/ Replies:http://conceptart.Um, sorry? :/ Its not really a slump anyway, I can still draw, and ... http://conceptart.
