Mastering Mental Resilience: 30 Tips for Artists

Art can be tough, especially on the mind, so sometimes we need a bit of motivation and rebalancing to stay on course. That’s why I've compiled 30 mental resilience tips to help you gauge your progress towards improvement. As an addition, I've included some Manga Game artwork from professional artists, which is regularly featured on this channel.

I’m at a weird stage in my art, lately I’ve been trying to draw without posting it anywhere, just for myself. Trying to not seek validation, but also not worry about criticism.

I’m pretty awful at taking criticism and I definitely take it personally, like all the time. That’s part of the reason. I kind of just want to have fun and not worry about others thoughts, or if it’s good. I don’t even understand a lot of the criticism, and sometimes it feels like people are just using big words just to sound smart.

Another reason is because discord is full of awful people who look down on you and crap on you and your work, you get ignored etc, even though you worked really hard. It hurts man. I just think I’m gonna stop using discord, because I always end up arguing with someone. I kind of just want to be a silent artist. I’m too emotional about my work, too worried about if people saw the details.

I despise when I post something and all I get is “Good shit, or “Cool” I want people to talk about certain things that I did, instead of just putting it all in one box.

Maybe I’m just a narcissist, maybe my work sucks so it’s not worth acknowledging.

So I guess for the time being, until I can get my mindset together and not learn to take it personally, I’m not even going to worry about, improving or practice, or anything. I’m just gonna draw the characters that are stuck in my head.

Practice is one of the most frustrating things ever, because you don’t know how long your supposed to do a certain subject, everyone gives you advice that goes against what the next person says. It’s so SO frustrating. I hate it and I honestly want to punch one of these people when I think about it. I hate hate hate getting advice from other artists. I always hear, “there are no rules! 😊 “. But then they immediately tell you your not allowed to do something, “you can’t make her spine curve that much. You can’t exaggerate that much. Etc”. SOOO FRUSTRATING.

I just think I need a long break from showing people my art, criticism, community, and trying to improve in general. I’m just going to draw what I want, right there, instead of practicing it. And I’ll draw it often. Dragons, cute women, etc. Sick of criticism, sick of the art community that keeps changing rules on what’s okay to do. “Art has no rules, EXCEPT FOR THIS” piss off.

Mind you this isn’t directed at you, I’m just venting my experience. Maybe it’s all my fault, but I’m angry. I have so many ideas in my head and I want to get them out, but practicing is just such a kick in the mouth, and the art community is so full of know it alls and idiots.

Maybe I’m just not in the right state of mind, and I worry too much.

But all I know is that I just want to draw purely for fun right now, and get my little characters out there instead of worrying about practice. I’m just so sick of it man.
