Description
Worries.
Sometimes I just feel like nothing is going right and that everything is falling apart... I feel I’m a hack and a fake and people who’ve been trusting me have been making a big mistake... . but then she just squeezes my shoulder and tell me it’s going to be OK and for some reason it all feels better.( She also tells me to stop complaining about it and that works too..she likes to keep it real)

The following are the thoughts of a wise and amazingly talented man. I find his thoughts continuously inspiring and his art ... well its just HA-MAI-ZZZING, always!!!
"One thing that is funny( sort of funny) as an artist... sometimes you try something different, like drawing with a different pen, a different way, a different technique and you put a lot of effort into it and you’re super proud of it, but the majority of people who look at your image just go...”meh......it’s ok..” and you’re slightly upset.( I’m kidding.. you get really depressed ) And sometimes you just throw something on the page in a few seconds and people go” WOW!! THIS IS THE B.E.S.T. thing you have EVER done”..and you’re just befuddled ( I just like that word, Befuddled.)
It used to really bug me .. but then I realized...
IN GENERAL.. your audience doesn’t really care HOW you did your work... they just care about the result and the first impression they get when they see the art. If it speaks to them .. they respond to it..if they have to work at understanding the image, you’ve lost the emotional charge of the piece and it just becomes a technical piece.
For us though.. we know how much work has gone into the piece and we feel like BECAUSE of the amount of time and effort and sweat it took to do it we should be rewarded with this particular piece being HA-MAI-ZZZING!! but it just doesn’t work like this.
In art.. in my experience, people are dazzled by skills, but they are really moved emotionally by spontaneity and truthfulness which usually has the look of being effortless.
Lightness of touch...
SO... IF ever you are in that position of putting a lot of effort into a piece and feeling like it just falls flat with your audience....know that you’re not the only one and that you should NOT give up being an artist.
You should also NOT stop trying hard... you have to put the hard work in over and over to discover, understand and eventually master something, so you can use it effortlessly the next time.. if you don’t do that work, you won’t master it.
( And you WILL master it, you will instantly discover something totally different that you can’t seem to draw/paint/sculpt... but that’s another post).
All that matters in the end is what the audience sees and feels."

..maybe they have some friends then...otherwise they have to grow a stronger skin to take it.

I can relate to this a lot.
Being a responsible adult is stressful.

Good. Make sure you keep that lovely lady. Go give her a hug and tell her what you just told us. We all get that way at times; and when we're tired, or unwell, down times always feel worse.

You are a very talented artist and I can let you know that everyone--myself included--has those feelings. The good thing is that most of us know that they are passing and have loved ones who let us know that!

You sir are surely no hack. If you can't trust her opinion because she's biased with the whole loving you thing, trust us. We don't really know you and will tell you exactly what we think of your art. I think it's top 3 on DA and that's a hell of an accomplishment with all the talent around here.

Yes. Every artist suffers doubts... especially when they are the breadwinner... you are so lucky to have someone to support you at these times.
ps you are not a hack!

Aww~ I hope I can make my partner feel the same as you do like this. <3 He is so stuck in his work and it stresses him out so badly sometimes and I can't help but hurt for him during those times. Once again, you've made such a relatable moment. Thank you.
