everyday I realize my art was carried on drawing popular characters, I never really understood visual repetition or composition to a certain degree . its not a bad thing, its just frustrating . I need to draw more complex compositions

if you understand colors, but you don't fully understand composition or visual repetition or visual tempo, then you actually do not fully understand colors. it will make your colors look very strange. every principle of art supports each other, its really cool to see
im not as good at art as people think I am , or maybe its just all in my head. maybe its because I'm aware of these principles, and they aren't. I don't know but I feel stressed from the pressure of it all. there really shouldn't be any pressure, but its starting to weigh on me.
I feel very similar about my own stuff. I've been drawing for a long time but I'm really a novice in so many areas. I'm grateful that people appreciate my art but I want to earn it! What takes some stress off of me is realizing that step 1 on the road to mastery is being aware of these weaknesses.
I am sort of dealing with the opposite problem, I feel really weird drawing other people's characters and IP, which isn't logical. So I don't really connect with a lot of audience. Just doing my own bubble. Realizing I should engage more with what's out there.
i feel this so hard and i barely draw anymore. like i can just nearly draw a character but then ask me about composition or backgrounds and i fizzle out. im glad my friend taught me a trick for checking color values as its improved my stuff a lot but i feel so behind im 20 and it feels so over.
for me, its definitely that I can sort of understand composition but when I want a certain idea I freeze up. its easy for me to create drawings of characters that have specific personalities, but once its my OC, its really hard
dude i dont even do oc work anymore because of an objective lack of interest, even tho i have friends who would be cool with me posting that stuff. i just dont have the initiative to do anything beyond doodling for them; why fully render an OC nobody cares about? im real sorry to hear this carol ,/3
