That feeling of being unsatisfied with how your career is going... Fuck that feeling. It sucks. One can argue that it pushes you forward but man, sometimes I wish I could turn it off.
Not that I personally have much to complain about objectively. I'm not unsuccessful at least and have work lined up and projects and ideas. But sometimes those thoughts creep in. "I wish I had a bigger following". "I'm drawing like shit lately", '
"I'm letting my engagement in Instagram down because I don't repost art every day".
Being an artist in the social media age is really exhausting in that sense.
"that drawing I'm proud of only got X amount of likes"
Actually, the idea that unsatisfaction is what drives you... I dunno about that.The more I think of it the less I feel it ever motivated me to do anything.
