Well they picked Ghost lol.
Kinda feeling so-so about this whole thing. They gave me the critiques in an email about my art and it was kinda...idk
"Artist lacks artistic flare and needs to work on finding a unique style."
Like I get it. I gave them two similar drawings that were more "realism" and not abstract. But I knew they'd only choose one. But at the same time it was very disappointing to hear. Because after spending almost a decade copying other styles, I finally spent the past five years making my own. And I was finally happy with it and thought I'd improved and become my own kinda artist or whatever. So this kinda slapped me in the face. Even though it's my fault for submitting something so boring.
I went to the show a few months ago and there was a lot of realism there. Pencil and charcoal drawings. So I'm a bit confused I guess? Idk. Been going through some things lately and it just was kinda like the cherry on top. I wasn't really happy to see it there because I feel like they just chose it outta pity. Or because they felt obligated to accept one of my pieces. Like I couldn't enjoy it and be proud of seeing it there among the other stuff in the gallery.
It's ruined my mood and excitement to draw tbh. Even though I should be inspired to be "unique" or whatever and make new stuff. Idk. I just look at all my artwork now as boring, dull, lifeless garbage.
I'm still drawing a little tho. I'll get over this, just stuck in a really trashy mess of situations rn. But all will be good 😊👍
