I've been surfing the deviantart, to check out
sasha's (an artist in deviantart) artworks. Cuz I got her tutorial, and wonder how her artworks are.. and, I found this journal, written by also an artist there,
kuridoki (the username).
Here, I quote her journal..

Updates and RamblingsEver had the experience of looking back at your old work and going "Oh god, the SHAMEEEE"? I imagine most artists go through this stage once they've hit a certain level of experience. But, honestly, it's also one of the most fun parts of being an artist too, I think.But let's take this a step further.I don't know how many of you might feel like I do when working on a piece. But I'll just simplify it for now:Step 1: Rough sketch work, gets you pumped up for working on the piece. Feels good, man. lolStep 2:Start your line work, or whatever your work process involves. There's still a good feeling of excitement and anticipation.Step 3:You've gone in pretty deep into the work. But as you stare at your piece for hours and hours, little bubbles of questionable feelings start appearing.Step 4:You've finished the work. And you're pretty damn happy. It's your most detailed piece yet.Step 5:You keep looking at the work. Slowly, little mistakes and disparities start popping up. You never realized them while working. And thus starts the slow decent into madness. You start getting more and more unhappy with the work until you can't really remember why you liked it in the first place.You start a new piece eventually, go back to Step 1, rinse and repeat.Different people will probably experience this to different levels, I don't know. Depending on how positive you are, you could see this as a source of motivation in improving yourself, but on the other hand you'd never be satisfied, ever. Any of you ever felt like this? I imagine a few of you might. -----------------
Yeah, I have. Lol.
Right now I am living the prophet which says:
The grass is always greener on the other sideIn my case, I see peoples.. my friends, seems like having more talent, in art, also in guitar.. than me. I don't know the fact. Well, the fact is that, now I'm feelin I am not good enough in drawing. And evenmore in guitar. But, I guess, from kuridoki's journal up there, it is normal. It is.. human. Humans never satisfy. And I am a human :)
I hope I can online more.. and become more active in deviatart. I really love art.. and interested to art community.
You know.. I've foud maaaaany talented young artists in deviant. Cool. And, not that I want to be in list of young talented artists (omg. I guess I have to practice my grammar.. MORE. << see.. I have no idea it is a right order of adjective or not. Heheh. Nvm) but I want to draw better and better and make prints in such a young age. That I'm now.. almost 15. Grreat. I'm growin older. Hahah. In other side, I can't wait for highschool~
New environment, and new friends I guess.
Oh well.. I found another deviant to deviantwatch added =3
