I've got to get used to drawing on here again. I'm having a hard time with it at the moment. I'm still struggling quite a bit with not being happy with anything I draw. I can't seem to find an art style I like. Its becoming more and more difficult to draw each time I try, and I don't know how much longer I can keep doing this.
Sorry for this, but I'm really stuck at the moment. I’ve been struggling for months now and I don’t know what to do anymore. I’m beginning to give up.

I'm considering starting my account over, but, I have to find an art style I actually like and want to use from now on if that is going to work.

Don't try to force, a distinct style happens over time. This is a very nice painting as it is, too

Yeah, that art style struggle can be really hard to get through.

My advice would be to look at other peoples art styles and pick out your favorite parts. Like line quality, the way someone draws feet or eyes, random stuff like that. Then go back to your style and just play around for a bit, incorporating the things you found here and there, either subtly or even straight up copying for practice if you want.

But don't give up please! You're such a great artist and so young!
If you're really having trouble it's okay to take a break, just draw what you want to when you feel like it. :)

(it's also okay to not have a super consistant style yet, don't worry too much)

Well, I hope you find an art style you like, I always enjoy seeing your art, it's so realistic :D

The struggle is real, though I wouldn't delete your account, it really won't help with your negative look on art. Ignoring the problem doesn't mean it's gone.
My advice is, instead of camparing your art to others, compare it more to your past works, and see how you've improved overtime. It's ok to be inspired by others, but remember you won't be making the same art, because you are not that artist.
I hope you can through these hard struggles, keep on doing art :)

Also Re: I'm glad you like the rp so far! I hope I'll be able to run things a bit smother in the near future. (Sorry for the late reply, I honestly suck at replying sometimes xD

This is gorgeous!! I don't know about you, but I love every aspect of your art. <3

If you don't feel confident drawing on the 3ds, maybe you should find a media that doesn't limit you. We'll really miss you if you leave, but if it's going to hinder the quality and progression of your art, I would switch to something more beneficial.

But if you don't plan on leaving, your other followers have given some great advice worth following. :)

Hey, don't give up! I know it's not easy, but finding an art style takes time, a lot of practice, and a lot of trying new things...

I for one really like the way you draw. Your art never fails to impress me! But I understand how you feel.

As much as I wish I could help, I don't really have a bunch of advice to give, but a lot of people here have already given some great suggestions.
Honestly, what I'd say is; just try to have fun with your art. Try not to worry so much about the style or 'how good it is,' just enjoy doing it!

Don't give up.
Just let yourself flow instead of forcing yourself into a style.
Do what feels right, and if it becomes a bit hard to do art, maybe take a art break to let the creativity grow.
You can take time to look at others and find something to help inspire you. Or practice a technicue. ^^
Be you, People will love what you make.
This piece is beautiful. :)
