I like to draw, but it's hard

Hi mechapangolin!

I struggle with a positive mindset and staying optimistic, because frequently I get over anxious and get full of self doubt and overload myself. It's hard, but I'm getting better at not feeling worthless about my art.

Have you isolated where the anxiety is coming from? If ever you need a sounding board, hit me up with a PM, shout it out in the shoutbox. Or, join the Daggers Discord! There are a lot of great people here that could help you sort things out!

here's some older examples anyway to help you gauge where I'm at I suppose:

Hmm... It's hard to give a full critique since most of them look unfinished. It would be better if we can take a look at your recent finished works.

Challenges! (eg. Jan's http://crimsondaggers.com/forum/thread-7...05671.html, and Zip's http://crimsondaggers.com/forum/thread-7838.html)

Tournaments! Currently inactive but I heard the hosts will be back! https://crimsoncrucible.wordpress.com/

There's a semi-active Notan study group (http://crimsondaggers.com/forum/thread-7701.html) if you're interested.

I think I'm just scratching the surface to what CD is all about.. Might be best if you look around yourself!

Hey man, Welcome to the Crimson Daggers!
