I can't stand it anymore.
I want to be a good artist....
Really, there's not such thing as "a good artist" ,in another person's opinion.
The difference in a "good" and "bad" artist if how they feel about their own work.
I would like to like my own stuff more often.
I get so discouraged because i think my own stuff is crap ,most of the time.
Of course i can't afford "classes" so I'll be photo-reffing, tracing (may as well say it) ,looking at tuts ,and getting how to draw books. Same thing ,really.
Some say photo reffing is fine. I thought tracing all together was "bad" ,but i have yet to see someone get banned for "photo reffing" - even when opening admitting to it.
I would like to do all this offline ,but i'm backed up too far on art stuff already. To make things worse I KEEP DRAWING WHICH ADDS MORE TO THE MESS! I still might go offline ,tho.
*shrugs and sighs*

Everyones a critic really, dont give up and keep trying, it takes time and im not saying im an awesome artist.
Hell Says:
Remember that art is one of those things that demands more of an instinctual understanding rather than a methodical one. I'm sure illustration classes would help a person learn to draw better, but not as much as, say, boxing lessons to a person who wants to box. There's just no technical method known that can teach everyone to learn how to master art. So what I'm saying is, its your devouring resources like tutorials and books that's going to get you the biggest gain anyway, I think. Sample the widest range of drawing methods you can find until you get one you connect with.
P.S. How come you haven't been on aim?
