I’m just really tired of trying so hard to become better for the past 8 or so years and still feeling like a mediocre artist, I know that’s dramatic but there seems to be an invisible barrier I can’t seem to break past to where I’d be happy with my style.
I like the style, it’s very emotive and expressive. I can tell you have fun making art and it makes it fun to look at. A lot of your pieces on instagram feel like an experience to partake in, and I enjoy that. Here are somethings that prove to give returns to an artist of any years; fundamentals.
Draw from life. Basic things to start, but something you don’t mind looking at. The fun is what your eyes see, the object, so pick one you like.
Use reference until you don’t have to, then keep using it. I see that the more you rely on imagination the more amateur it looks to me.

Figure drawing; gesture/studies. Anatomy, proportion. (weakest)
Perspective. (strongest)
Shapes. Form. Shadow. Light.
It has been fun looking through your work. You are really quite good and should be more patient with your progress.
Thank you I’ll keep at it, I just finished a huge project so I’m a bit off my training schedule but hopefully Ill get back on soon
