Craig's Sketchbook

[Craig Paton]

No new work as of late.

I seem to have fallen even further into the 'art slump', and I'm really struggling with getting motivated and confident again. Can't seem to put pen to paper/Photoshop without getting really angry and frustrated at how poor my work is and how little it has improved over the years.

I often find myself wondering if I have some sort of mental deficiency, preventing me from progressing any further with my artwork, and that perhaps this career choice is just not for me. But, I can't really think of anything else I would rather do than paint, draw and create. Conflicted and frustrated

This is perhaps a post consisting solely of moaning and self-pity, but I thought putting my slump issue and frustration out there might be some kind of step to fixing the situation. Maybe one of you fine people has some words of advice, or direction for me? I'd be grateful to read any advice you may wish to share, maybe on how you have dealt with a similar period of artistic slump and self-doubt.
