I’m really sorry for ya. I feel the same way sometimes and it sucks :’(

If you want someone to talk to you can send me a note and I’ll respond as soon as I can :)

Hey. I know how you feel, trust me. There's a lot going around, but at the end of the rain there's always rainbow. Also the rain does not have to be that depressing. If you are super lonely there's a lot of activities that are currently happening where you can find other people like you. Go outside. go look at like those little boards where people put posters. Sometimes you can find really awesome stuff! I found a group to do dnd with. My friend went to a board game night with random people and had so much fun. If you are more online play other games with people. Learn new stuff if you really dont feel like talking to anybody. Finally pick up other hobbies that you have been waiting around to. Or you can even do super cool shit like idk plant trees, go draw with chalk around stuff like children hospitals ! Advice that i heard is: Stop thinking about how hard the process will be and start imagining the massive payoff. The only thing stopping you from greatness is you! (if not doctor, therapist ect)

Also my dms are opened. But be warned. I am currently insane and love to talk about shit like humanity-.

Welcome to FA. Sorry that you are not doing well. A lot of that going on in the world. It is very easy to get stuck in your head. Be you and put yourself out there. As has been said finding things in the real world to do with real people opens a lot of doors. Volunteer work is great for meeting people.

It is ok to be quite and having nothing to say, but asking people about themselves go a long way in bridging the gap. Nothing is as powerful as tell me more about that.

As far as art: Though I am not an artist.
1. Use lineless white sheets. Helps people see things and you envision better. Also a layer of professionalism.
2. Practice, practice, practice. Only way to get better. Just practice drawing things.
Go to a park or place and draw what you see.
3. When ready study light and shadow. Study color theory.
4. practice and learn anatomy.
5. Practice lines, just lines and consistency and how your hand creates them.
6. Ask for critique (your already doing that). True critique is advice on how to get better. Anything else is not worth listening too. Its not asking if something is good or bad, it is asking how do I improve this.
7. Study and learn the golden rule and ratios. Helps a lot with anatomy and placement.

Good luck.

Thank you all for your kind words it really means a lot too me too be heard for once 💖

Big hugs fellow traveler, I am happy you have Winston, I myself have a corgi Buddy and 4 cats, dont know how old you are but if your young hang in there, visit conventions local chat groups, like some above vol at places. Nice that you draw, if you every get down down feel free to telegram me.

I remember I used to post this several times and no one gave a fuck about me, until the last year I tried to kill myself, just.. quick tip, look for something to entertain your mind, go out or read a book, count the good experiences

Hey there...
first of all sorry to see you in this state... sadly those things happen from time to time...
I can't give you too much tips for your art, only to maybe join a discord server for artists, where you can get tips in real time, which also would help with the loneliness, at least a bit...

The real help here would most likely be: go out, meet people... as clichee as it may sound, but to meet people, to make friends, to get interaction, you first have to "meet people" and that works, at least IRL, only if you go out to do just that...
You have a dog, a lovely little noodle, what better way to get to know people, as to go to the dog park with your Corgy...
Social anxiety can be overcome, loneliness can be overcome... the only thing you need to do is to " do it "

But a first step could be a discord server... there you will at least get interactions, feedback and maybe even find some friends, of sorts :)
