I'm depressed.
I am very sad and I want to find some peace in my work.
But I find only disappointment in myself
I want approval
I want to feel that my drawings could be a cause of pride
but I am always ashamed
To be honest, I've been crying all the time for the last couple of days
and I don't feel that I can find my place "among artists" and call myself an illustrator
I want to be better, but I can't

Your works are beautiful and evocative, and simply the act of creating art is enough to feel proud of! To me, your skills are already quite remarkable. We are all our own worst critics, and I often fluctuate between enjoying what I create and being too harshly critical of it; taking a break from it / refreshing my mind after sleep helps me a lot with viewing what I'm working on through a positive & confident light again.
I hope these words may grant your heart ease 💜

your words are really very important to me.
thank you very much for all that has been said.
I understand intellectually that it's okay to feel frustrated sometimes and that I'm too hard on myself.
but the feelings are not dulled by this.
and I'm just sad, although I could spend time on something useful.
thank you again very much for your support and kind words! it calms me down and gives me hope that maybe it's just that I don't see anything good in myself and my work seems cool to someone
