Question of Creative Self-Doubt by Reckless-Icarus

I been thinking too long about this. I am just getting tired with my self-doubts & obsession with time spent on drawings that waste fractions of my day when other artists know what they are doing & draw quickly because they're smart, creative-minded, or gifted. I am sorry.

Update:
I am honest-to-lord grateful to have you fellow artists as supportive friends. I will help too if yourselves have self-doubts, you guys seriously helped me alot with your thoughts & tips. Thank you so much. <:)

You're an artist. You draw things, therefore you are an artist. There is no such thing as a wannabe artist.

alright listen up dude
your art is FANTASTIC and extremely unique. i know your style when i see it, and thats a great trait to have! and hey, not everyone always knows what theyre doing with their drawing. in fact, i think it's more fun to just go with the flow and see where your drawing takes you.
dont feel bad, okay? just keep doing what you're doing because everything you make turns out great.

dont doubt yourself, man. you're a magnificent artist and person ;u;

I wouldn't worry too much about it, anyone who's serious about their work gets in a slump like this sometimes. Even if your works DID resemble someone else's (which it doesn't, you have a very unique), the best way to learn is to imitate, and no one minds.

Oh No, You DEFINETLY ARE AN ARTIST. You have this unique style that can be recognized. You do not rush, you take your time, that's what helps. Work on the places you are lease confident. Become better than what you are now.

@Pyro

I understand & thank you so much for making me feel truly welcomed here on colors. But I only want to draw to be better, not "better than". I don't want others feeling down either, you're fantastic as well.

@Music: That last line to me is an important quote I'll remember forever.

@Zach: Thank you Zach. I seriously appreciate your support like for your other friends.
